Hi All,
Long time since I've posted on here, but reading the threads - just haven't been able to contribute much.
My TX1300F just won't start in the cold weather, so I'm finally going to have to do something about its compression (lack of) issues. Basically I'm going to have do a valve lap and ring change as a minimum (incl new gaskets, conrod bearings etc), and see what else needs doing when the head is off. Already replaced glow plugs, starter motor.
Thanks to Fxrs55 posts I have some good tip to start with, but I just have a few questions to help me plan the job.
Can I do this without removing the engine from the tractor? Looks like it will be tight to get the oil pan off with the front prop shaft in the way? Just wanted to check that it can be done before I open her up.
Any other tips or other things that should be done at the same time?
Anything to look out for with the injectors while they out?
Dan
