Bulldozers are a staple of any construction site. Unfortunately, they can sometimes develop mechanical problems. Below are some of the most commonly seen bulldozer problems and solutions. Contact Orange County Fleet Services in Anaheim, CA if you need onsite bulldozer or construction equipment repair. Issues With Tracks Occasionally, when the engine gets too hot, one side of the tracks will stop working. There may be an issue with the steering clutch in this case. The opposite side's steering clutch should release when you turn right or left. A worn clutch will need to be replaced to fix the problem. Bulldozer Cannot Move Forward or Backward If your bulldozer only moves backward and forward for a short time, or not at all, check the oil first. Metallic debris or metal in the hydraulic filter could indicate a problem with the hydraulic system, the pump, or the drive motor. This requires disassembling and servicing the hydrostatic drive pump. Electrical Issues and Repairs in Anaheim Electricity problems can eat up valuable work time. Whenever you have a problem starting your bulldozer, check the drain valve in the bottom of the tank for water. Check the fuel filter next; it may need cleaning or replacing. The fuel lines and tank can get clogged with sediment and dirty water after being used all day; clean it out every day to prevent future problems.
