Hi, LangdonStevenson.
There izza copy of the 'bible' in the tech. library - No. 21 ,23, 24, 25 and 27 Cable Controls - itza fair way down the list. I tried to link to it here but it only copied the library site and not the particular form.

This page might help.

(If it doesn't, somebody's in trouble. LOL.)

Just my 0.02.

Deas - thank you for the link, much appreciated! My D6 Operation and Maintenance Instructions book doesn't include the CCU clutch adjustment part, so that's really helpful.

I have removed what I thought was gasket paper under the band. So on others I have added gasket paper. Seems to work.

On Cat and books, more was better it seems. So each attachment has a book of it's own. But as the one Deas was trying to link different models of CCU might be in one book. So keep that in mind in your searching.

I might have missed some tricks on finding things in the library here, I have to just keep scrolling until it is found. Which can take time with so much information anymore. But if you know it is here, that helps keep you looking.

Ray54 - ok gasket paper is an easy solution then, I'll go with that.

Ok, that makes sense then about the CCU clutch instructions.  Mind you - I still do not understand why the Operation and Maintenance manual for the D6 didn't include instructions for checking and changing the gearbox and final drive oil!  That was a very strange omission...

The library is an excellent reference tool.  Lot's to trawl through as you say, but that just means there's a better chance that what you want is in there!

Try thin roofing tar paper or underlayment for a gasket.

Hi, LangdonStevenson.
Just be aware that the term, "adjusting the clutch", is a bit misleading. To do the job properly, the clutch is the LAST adjustment to be made. If the brake is holding, then there is no need to fool with it.

How-wevver, it IS advisable to check that the neutral position position is correctly set before making the clutch adjustment as wear in the brake band or a slight weakening of the brake spring will alter that setting. Checking it may require getting in there with some kind of small scraping tool to scrape grease and 'crud' ("technical term") off the brake actuating lever to be able to see the telltale/indicator mark on said lever to be able to check it.

Just my 0.02.

i would use a bit of gasket paper and a lite smear of grease to seal over the brushes even a smear of grease on its own would work its only to dust proof.

Rome - ah roofing tar paper!  I think that is what the person I watched doing the recondition of a similar starter was using. Thanks you!

Deas - thank you, noting all of that for future reference. Once I have the pony motor running I'll dig into the blade lift stuff and check it out before starting the diesel.

Trainzkid88 - sounds fair.  When you say "a smear of grease to seal over the brushes" are you talking about on the gasket paper, or something else?
