I've started this as a separate thread to my intitial question regarding this model as it is a different topic really.

The T35D that i've just purchased is really slow to move, it takes half throttle for it to move an inch, but once you've trvelled a few hundred metres, it's a lot better (as if it's buuilt up pressure).

I did notice this morning on firing it up and putting it straight into gear that it moved easily, but after moving it forwards and backwards a couple of metres this faded away and it was full revs again.

I then tried moving with the inching pedal pressed (when warmed up/moving okay), this didnt make the slightest bit of difference, it was as if the pedal wasnt working (until you hit the point where the brakes cut in).

There's an adjuster linkage from the pedal, i turned this down but this also didnt make any difference.

I'm hoping it's a stuck valve, but dont know what it looks like or where it should be located, can anyone advise or even tell me where i can purchase a service manual / parts manual , I tried Caterpillars site, but couldnt find anything there.

I also dont know where to dip the transmission fluid level or where the filter is, but do know this hasn't been chamged in 15 years (it only has 6,000 hours on it).

Many thanks in advance for any guidance / help
