What's the actual s/n of the machine. Specs vary.
75 E3. Military cat
Would the TC be considered weak if I can stall it in first gear (barely)?
BTW never seams to get too warm under normal use.

75E3 is equivalent to 48A6393 to 6882
Stall speed is 986 +/- 65 rpm
Full load & speed manifold pressure should be 25 in. hg.
At stall speed manifold pressure should be 24 in. hg.
High idle is 1335 rpm
Full Load is 1200 rpm
Low idle is 525 +/-10 rpm
Brakes should hold down to 2nd gear.
First gear should overdrive brakes.
Good drive in 3rd but high stall rpm (suspect torque converter)
Good drive in 3rd but low stall rpm (suspect engine, boost pressure is first check
Transmission pump pressure should be 300 to 330 psi
Check transmission lube pressure (end of the circuit), should be 9-15psi at high idle.
just sayin. i would check the air intake system from the pre cleaner all the way to the engine. i have seed mud wasps and oil residue build up restrict the intake before the air cleaner to just bigger than a pencil. usually will see smoke though but not always.
Two questions:
My trans dash gauge shows 250 psi...not 300. Can this be raised with an adjustment?
What is the fix for the torque if it is slipping a little too much?
Fwiw I don't think it's an engine problem. It was just rebuilt and has excellent power with no smoke. It doesn't seem like the TC is able to lug it like it should IMO. Then again maybe they don't lug too low with a torque converter.
The engine will not lug below 985 rpm, which is converter stall speed. fit a decent gauge on top of the pump to check transmission pressure, don't rely completely on the gauge on the dash.
