    steering clutch of T6 international crawler

    The clutch on the T6/TD6 must be compressed before it can be removed, there are three jacking bolts used to do so, I forget the size now as it's sixty years since I have been at one of those, I think the bolts were 7/16 UNC, Go like said to Red Power and someone will have a manual. Good luck AJ

    D6B wet clutch stuck/won’t engage.

    More than likely the clutch adjusting ring had not been locked up properly and the inertia movement of the flywheel has caused it to screw itself in tight to the flywheel, all it probably needs is backing off and locking securely. AJ

    1972 CAT D4D overheating

    That's ok, next engine warm and on low idle remove the radiator filler cap, (protect your hands), watch the coolant for any sign of air bubbles coming up through it, how is the oil is it clean and the level not rising, do you know if it's a 3304 engine it has, is it manual or power shift. AJ
