Lilredfox sending out SOS

[lilredfox]

Oh My. thanks u. i see u have me on the ryt track. tinkerin on tractors is somewhat new ta me. i aint tinker stupit tho. i do cars, motorcycles, etc. just never tractors.
whats the name? how much do i get? n were do i get this solvent to flush the tranny system. what detergant do u recommend. n do i mix the solvent and detergent or 1 at a time? were's the sump located? were do i find it? sump? as in the tranny fluid pickup?

 

[Soundguy]

the solvent *I* use is called diesel

the detergent *I* uses is atf -f or dex/merc fluid.


some people grasp their heart and faint when talking about flusing a tractor sump with diesel, as if it has never been done and will cause the machine to blow up.

there are plenty of solvent choices out there.. mineral spirits, kerosene.. etc.. all them are related to diesel anyway.. kero is #1.. diesel is #2 oils.. etc.

i'd steer away from harsh solvents like varsol, acetone, laquer thinner, carb and barke cleaner.. they can make some seals soft.

if i have a sump that's been wet.. i usually add in a lil diesel, a lil atf, and a lil 90% rubbing alcohol.. agitate and drain...

thats me. you will get people with other opinions.. including those telling you that diesel will ruin the tracor annd cause 7ys bad luck to your familly, and cause sterility in all the males on your side of the family if you use it.

so your call.. just saying what i do to maintain my fleet of tractors ( none of which have blown up! )

that diesel will ruin the tracor annd cause 7ys bad luck to your familly,
well, that aint an option. im Irish. lucky all the time. Pa told me. i am the gold at the end of the rainbow.
the she leprechaun. luckiest in all the land. gigl n grin.
and cause sterility in all the males on your side of the family if you use it.
again i say. nodda option. my pa's used diesel as well. i.e. my youngest son just hadda kid. gigl again.

Howdy lilred and welcome to TBN

I got your email and sent you a few suggestions. I can try to help you out here or thru email. I suppose here other folks can chime in collectively. Did you get my message? Whatever you do make sure not to run the tractor for extended period. Need to figure out what's going on. The hyd pump will turn anytime engine is on. You sure don't want to destroy the pump by running it dry or with cruds and solids going through it. It'll destroy them gears.

JC,

[Soundguy]

he's asking the MODERATOR to move this thread into a NH tractor forum so that you guys can continue discussing that 1700 and get it fixed. that is a NH topic.. not a new member topic...

Soundguy,

I have sent him a pm and identified all components of the hyd system, reservoir, suction screen, pump , lift piston components minus relief device, lift spool valve details and two direct links to my work when I overhauled my system. I told him about all the pics I have so identification of components should not be difficult going thru write up and associated pictures. He can here or thru pm ask me any and all questions and as long as I understand the nature of question clearly.

Ummmm...might want to check out Lilredfox's profile...photo there gives clues to her pseudonym.

well, Him or her I don't know. Checked the profile as you suggested but see a 1700 and a female person, hardly enough to draw any conclusion though. At any rate that does not matter. I have sent the individual a lot of information to sort out. I'm not sure if lilred has enough background in the subject matter.
