d6c 10k transmission removal

I have removed the transmission from a D6C 10K and several D6D 4X tractors. The easiest method by far is to place the tractor up on a pair of railroad ties, drop the belly pan, lower the transmission onto a sheet of tin or sheet metal and then drag the transmission from under the tractor. Reverse the procedure to install. All you need is a small chain hoist and a come-a-long. Many of the transmission parts are the same for the 10K and the 4X or 20X D6D tractors. These powershift transmissions are very easy to work on; I would strongly recommend that you have a Caterpillar Service Manual to go by.
Good Luck, 👍

Helped a guy replace pinion shaft bearings. Then took trans apart to clean and make sure any pieces didn't get in. As my friend says: It's just nuts and bolts. Just make sure to keep track of location and position of pieces as you remove and replace.

Don't have any problems with my trans/torque converter but the local shop I use was trying to get me to pull them for inspection & bearing replacement since I don't know how many hours are on them. Bearings & seals are inexpensive, but if things fly apart it can get pretty pricey. He says he could do one over a weekend, but he's done it for many years.

I'd probably have to go out the bottom since my brush guard is welded on...not that a gas axe couldn't take it off.

Thanks for the info. I have a cat Manual soon as I get the radiator back in the d4d the Trans is coming out of D6c

Are the pinion bearings a common failure?

Here's the page detailing removal....several steps are listed before pulling trans. Never done it but I read that some guys like to drop them out the bottom instead.

Hi.can I get more pages please. I'm removing my transmission for d6c tomorrow. I need some guidance. Thanks

I'm assuming you've got a powershift trans so that's what I scanned

Here's pretty much the rest of the pages from my manual. There may be some pages from another manual on inspection of components. I'll look at those tomorrow evening.
