Here is my experience. I stopped charging. The tests checked out that the VR was bad but when I swapped that it didn't work. From the tests it looked like the alternator was bad. Ordered a new alt from Rock Auto and installed a new VR that I also purchased there and it works now and charges. I...

It won't catch water.

Yep exactly!

Never blew that seal out before. But I had the original three point valve explode internally. I forget what happened to it at this point. I would have to find it and look again? That lead to the whole 3pt valve replacement ordeal which lead to me getting two bad valves from Hoye in a row before...

This is irrelevant to that spring pressure or the tab that connects to that silver button. I'm talking about the seal around that silver button on the valve. That's what popped out. Wish I would have thought to take a picture of what happened.

I was under the impression that the o rings on these tractors are Japanese spec which is different from metric. Now some of these on these tractors you can get by with using a metric o rings and I can confirm that the fuel filter o ring is one of those that you can get by with a metric o ring. I...

After I disked the garden a few days ago I rinsed the polled off the tractor and then backed it into the carport to tighten a loose bolt on the disk. I did and pulled it back to the shed. There was some mud and water as I expected. I swept the dirt up and saw the "wet spot" . Later that night...

Like I said you have no compression... possibly holes in pistons from ether. Really do a compression test to make sure but I don't believe you have enough compression to run and start. If your seeing white smoke your getting fuel how much I have no idea, enough to run, again I have no idea but I...

I don't either but it is white. I'm around enough old ratty logging equipment and heavy equipment and trucks to see it.

I don't know if much of the lower 48 has been cold enough recently where a healthy diesel won't light off and catch without thermostart? Maybe if he was trying first thing in the morning on certain days in the upper portions of the country maybe?

White smoke starting is unburned fuel. If your pour diesel into coals in a fire it will put out white smoke. The black smoke when one is under heavy load is raw unburned fuel basically being blown out of the exhaust.

I skipped to the bottom but I would guess that it has no compression or engine damage taking that long to start. My guess is that previous owners and you as well have used either and it's now dependent on it to start do to weak compression or damage unfortunately.

Thank you! I was hacked and the wacko went and posted all kinds of stuff for sale. I live in the south, never lived out of SC I rarely see snow let alone have now removal equipment! I never lost control of my account but once I realized it was compromised I changed passwords.

This is a scam post!!! I didn't post it though I was hacked!!! This should be removed of a mod sees this.

This is no good reason to kill these documents or arrange the website like it is now. I still don't get it. If I had a list of parts it would take me forever to find them on the site like they have it organized now. Defies logic and makes zero sense? For the life of me I just don't understand...
