TORO TX1000 overhaul no drive tandem pump repair drive motor diagnosis bell housing replacement

[@KeithRizer]

I'm Keith from Pittsburgh pa and I want to give you props on your video, too much to list on problems but I watched your video twice and was able to find out what the problem was in the tandem pump and got my machine moving again...great learning video

[@icausenoharm10]

thanks for making and posting this video and others on the TX1000 !! I bought a used machine from a local rental place a couple months ago... Your videos on this machine have given me great knowledge on the mechanics. I've done automotive and motorcycle repair work before but never on any type of skid steer or tractor or anything with hydraulics.. so... I knew nothing about these types of machine and how they function.. until now... thanks to you. this has helped me tremendously!!! and I just wanted to let you know.

Thanks for the video. I do have a dingo tx1000, so this is helpful. quick question, if you don't mind. My dingo when at idle, creeps forward. Any idea what I should start looking for?

[@kitsapmobiletractor]

@@bootsy1968 yes. Creep is generally caused by the swash plate not being centered correctly. Where your pilot control lines connect on top of your tandem pump assembly, there’s generally a four bolt plate. That’s on one side of the tandem pump. That plate has an Allen center stud with a nut a jam nut on it. What you do is you crack that nut loose and you take an Allen key and you turn that Allen in or out to get the swash plate to change its angle. What you do is for example, there’s two sets of lines that go to that tan pump. Those lines are for left track and right track. You find the track that you wanna work on and you adjust that Allen screw and if the track starts to move faster turn the Allan key the opposite direction and see if it slows down and you turn it until it stops turning. once you found that zero point move the joystick and see if the track spins forward and reverse correctly and if it does, tighten that jam nut and you are set. Repeat the procedure for the other Trac with the other Allen screw and jam nut.

@@kitsapmobiletractor This is awesome! Thank you so much for the info. I have not look at the pump yet . I am guessing it is better to get the dingo on blocks so the tracks don't touch the ground and do the adjustment like this.

[@kitsapmobiletractor]

@@bootsy1968 correct. With the machine flat on the ground, shove a floor jack or thick blocks of wood in the center of the frame about Where the standing platform is. Basically so when you lower the loader down and tilt the bucket down, the machine will cantilever on the blocks and the bucket and now the tracks won’t touch the ground. I do the same thing to get skid steers off the ground to swap tracks.

I’ve got that same thing going on with mine but it’s the drivers side, mines also leaking out of the vent tube by the remote oil filter. Drivers side works great until it warms up then slowly stops working. And idea about the oil coming out the vent tube? Thanks I’m going to show my mechanic this video.

I’m lost and hope you can help I have a tx1000 was working fine then both tracks quit at the same time as I was pushing a pile, lifted it up and absolutely nothing to either side the hydraulics are working the arms move fine. I did crack line going into the tandem and it does spray. Any ideas?

How do u differentiate if it is a drive motor issue or a pump issue if one side is weak?

[@kitsapmobiletractor]

@@brett5778 well, Identify which side is the problem. Identify which half of the tandem pump is associated with the bad or slow side. Most likely it is a pump issue. I will say that a drive motor is rarely it. The problem because all it is internally is a wash plate and the housing. If you are able to scratch or groove the housing bad enough to damage the housing of the drive motor; you most likely have some heavy metal sparkles in your fluid. The pump however, all it takes is scratching that gold plate or getting those pistons stuck to drastically lower fluid flow. In this video the drive motor didn’t get weak, it blew the teeth off and broke the shaft. I generally find that a drive motor either works, or it’s failed 100%.
