master clutch is adjustable through plate on right side of bell housing- need a 9/16 wrench and a pry-bar to move adjusting ring to tighten overcenter clutch tension depending of if dozer or loader will set the challenge for replacing broken axle . if you search back there is a lot of info on HD5 on this site ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark.

| Cheers coke I'm hoping that's all I need to do and that the clutch is not worn out I was amazed the old dozer had been sitting for about 10 years without running and she fired right up pretty impressive those little gm motors |

Had a look at the steering breaks today to see why the rhs break wasn't working and the culprit was rust

| Someone once thought they would develop a rust welder, have not seen the contraption yet but may be accessible in AU? |

| Good looking under carriage. Man what a set of grousers. They'll either get you out or dig a hole deep enough that all you have to do is push a layer of dirt over the top to bury it. LOL |

The band was made by somebody to start with... just find another band and weld your components on... ------------- He who says there is no evil has already deceived himself The truth is the truth, sugar coated or not. Trawler II says, "Remember that." |

| That's what I'm thinking if it's made by man can be fixed by man |
