    Paging Dieseltech

    Hey there Dieseltech, I have a Deere skidsteer with a little 2.9L four-banger in it. Said engine has a Stanadyne DB4 injection pump. We were using it the other day and everything was running great. Shut it down for lunch, came back and it would barely start and run. The engine WILL run, but...

    Re: Ford 4500 How is this even leaking here? and how do

    Those seals have to hold back oil in two places: between the shaft and the radial seal lip, and between the housing to the flat seal lip. Me thinks you didn't properly crimp the seal to the housing to effect the latter. If I'm right, no biggie. Simply get some prybars and have a friend pry...

    Re: Tw-5 tach/hour meter

    I sent my 6000 gauges to Bob's Speedometer to be repaired. It wasn't cheap but they did a good job. Bobs Speedometer

    Back in the saddle

    25 years ago I spent a lot of time in an 8970 Genesis tractor much like the one in the first photo (note that it's from a NH promotional poster). When they first came out 30 years ago they put JD to shame, they were that far ahead of the Deere 4x60 series tractors. Recently a local-area...

    Re:

    Can I assume that you have the belt off when you're trying to motor the generator? If so, sometimes it'll need a little spin of the pulley by hand to get it started. The theory of operation is pretty much the same between 6 and 12V systems with the exception of battery polarity. Did the shop...

    8970 repair

    I'm working on an 8970 right now. Tractor wouldn't move at all. Dealer came out, did some testing, and quoted him a 20K for a reman transmission, not including labor. He asked me to look at it. Found faulty shifter unit, $120 repair at Ag Express. Told him I should charge him 19K for labor and...

    7700 - weak brakes

    I'm posting for a friend with a 7700 who can't seem to get his question to post here. His problem is that the brakes are not very effective, to the point where he doesn't want to tow anything down the road with his tractor for fear of not being able to stop for an intersection. The brakes also...

    In line with the post about Arlen below, but not wanting to invade the privacy of his post, and after noting the passing of LarryNCKS a while back,anyone seen or heard from RickB lately? It's been months since he's posted.

    Service parts SOS transmission?

    I finally got my hands on that SOS transmission that Check Break alerted me to last September (original post linked below). After looking at it carefully, I'm guessing that it was originally purchased as a service parts replacement. I think this primarily because there are no stamped numbers...

    A tale of two filters

    I recently had two new fuel taps in my hand for '65-up tractors. One is an el-cheapo from Amazon, the other is from NH. Notice the difference in mesh sizes for the screens. The one with the coarse screen is from NH. I suspect the one with the fine screen would plug up in a heartbeat if there...

    Will fit, won't fit, again

    The saga continues. Replacement *will fit* radiator is over an inch off as you can see. The result was that the fan hit the radiator on this 7000 that I'm working on. We were going to replace it because of a bad oil cooler - radiator shop told us a new one would be cheaper. Owner elected to...

    Grease worms

    As you can see, the owner of this tractor has a classic case of grease worm infestation on his farm. At least he got his money's worth out of the bushings. The slot from top to bottom is where I cut it out with a torch. The rest of it simply vanished. There was so much slop in the spindles...

    Front bolster bushings

    I'm putting new pin and bushings in the front steering arm. Opened up everything out of the package and slid the bushings over the pin by hand. I had to force them over the pin, the clearance was that tight. I thought to myself that this is likely not going to end well. I drove the lower bushing...

    Front bolster pin

    Anyone know what the drilled hole is for in the front support pin for the front axle for the 5000-7610 series tractors? As you can see, the tractor I'm working on broke the pin in half right where the hole is; first I've ever seen of that kind of failure. I'm frankly surprised that the front...

    Pickin' berries with the 6000

    Actually, smashing and chopping up berries are more accurate terms here. The hay farmer I work for has limited things I can do with my 6000 because I don't have the hydraulics to pull his big v-rake, he does not have a pull-type mower, and his balers require 100+ HP tractors. So up until...

    6000 turbo kit

    I had been looking for a M&W turbo kit for my 6000 for some time now, not for increased power but rather to clean up the smoke levels at full load. Thanks to my friend Harry from Nebraska (a member of this board), I was able to get my hands on one due to his persistent scouring of numerous...

    Re: Teach Me How To Drive A SOS?

    Correct, the SOS does not have a conventional dry clutch, rather it uses a slip clutch in the flywheel to absorb shocks in extreme conditions. The inching pedal opens and closes a hydraulic spool in the control valve to feather the engagement oil to various clutches so as to mimic the...

    6000 3-point fixed

    A few months ago I asked how many fellow 6000 owners had stuck 3-point lift linkage. I discovered that I was not alone. Mine was stuck so bad that it would take a decent size loader bucket to force the arms down. Hooking up a rotary cutter and doing some mowing while raising and lowering it a...

    6000 3-point

    Anyone here with a 6000 with a 3-point that moves freely, as in you can pull the lift arms up by hand? Mine is so stuck I have to use a loader bucket to push the rear arms down. It takes so much force it squats the rear tires. I attempted to solve the problem today by removing the lift arms and...
