Your lift pump provides fuel to the injection pump. The injection pump will pull fuel but that is not what it is designed for, it was made to push fuel, so when you throttle up, it cannot keep up with itself, starves for fuel, and will cavitate in time, requiring a rebuild or replacement. Your...

Out here in Wyoming, I don't treat mine with anything, we don't have enough humidity for rust. The only time I had rust issues is when I was purposly rusting brackets for a job by soaking them in muriatic acid. The fumes lightly rusted my welding table, tools, table saw, etc. Cleaned them up...

I live in rural Wyoming, in a town of around 180 people. There is a pickup in every driveway, used daily. My pickups, I have 3, all are diesels, and 3/4 ton. Most of the miles on the odometer are pulling trailers. One of them has over 400,000 miles, and honestly 350,000 miles had a trailer...

Mix 'em. We have mixed all sorts of fluids over the years in various equipment and attachments over the years in a rental fleet with no issues, except when customers confuse the hydraulic tank for the fuel tank. Then we had problems.

@RustyShackleford Your SCV('s) are the hydraulic ports for 3pt attachments on the rear of the tractor, if equipped. If one of those control levers on the side console are not in neutral, you are losing pressure for your loader. It will be separate lever than your 4 position lever for your...

Chevy had a re-occurring problem where the o-ring seal between the pickup strainer and the pump failed. I have that issue right now. For some reason, your pump is either not picking up oil, or not able to produce the pressure required. Without knowledge of your unit, my gut tells me to pull the...

@rgood I just saw this. You nailed it! I pulled the bowl off in January this year, it was full of oil, but I took it into the shop, dumped the oil and a big ball of ice was in the bottom. Topped off the engine oil, fired up the tractor )without the oil bowl), and the oil stopped coming out of...

I have used Mobil Delvac 1300 conventional 15w-40 for years in all my diesel equipment, starting in all temps from our hottest days of 90°F to our coldest days of -40°F without block heaters plugged in. My '06 Cummins (w/400,000+miles) doesn't care. My Case 75c, '085 Cummins, and the '03 Cummins...

Welcome! That's one good lookin' machine ya got your hands on there!

Those tractors, I believe, were Yanmar engines. On a lot of those they used crank pulleys that were "Clutches", meaning they had friction material when engaged. The material wears out over time, so your cooling fan doesn't spin as fast as it should to move air through the radiator. Something to...

We had a case 40c at work with the same issues your describing. There was a knob below the seat, where your ankles would be, that had been turned, It was an adjustment for the drop rate. Since New Holland and case are similiar, that may be something to look into. I hope it helps!

Wierd, this pooped up in "Today's Posts".

If that is the case, elevating the road is not doing anything but being a temporary solution. You need to be looking at stripping, adding fabric and pit run, then putting road base back on.

If the saw runs fine at idle, and starts easy, the low end is good on the carburetor setting. When full throttle it should blubber a bit (run rich) so when you are hogging into wood it has the fuel it needs. I feel Carb adjustments are your issue, or your rakers are too tall. Carb adjustment...
