I would remove the injectors and glow plugs and have them checked and serviced.

I have a quick hitch, and the tractor has a hydraulic tilt and top hitch. I have modified all 8 attachments to suit the quick hitch, so it only takes a minute to hook up to the tractor, then it's just the ones with PTO and hydraulic to connect.

It needs to come down, you either cut that grass or have stock graze it, either way a danger to those around or under it, and it will get more unstable as time goes on. Two options I see, can you cast a fishing line?. I use a fishing rod to pull a line up high in an unstable tree, then pull a...

All hydraulic systems have a relief valve in the hydraulic bank (where the levers are). The oil when the relief valve opens, returns to the tank, and the lift function stops. It's better if the relief is set in the lower range, as I have seen cylinders split, hoses blown and the hydraulic...

Most tractor hydraulics will lift by pulling the "up" lever back and turning the engine over on the starter. It should lift enough to move it.

I run 2 saws, 445 X torq and a 365 special, both commercial saws. The 445 I run a 20-inch bar, and the 365 has two bar lengths, 24-inch and 28-inch. The 28-inch has a skip-tooth chain and cuts faster than the 24-inch. There are lots of options that can be done without overloading the saw's power.

Every dealership has a "master Dealer" and gives or sells a dealership to sell and service their products. If a dealership does not carry out after-sales and warranties, go to the Master Dealer with a complaint; they do not like a dealership not doing their job to the standards required.

The "septic bed" can be designed so there is soakage and evaporation; the soak pipe is only 6 to 10 inches deep. Here, we can lay the soak pipe on the ground with flaxes and grasses that help clean the water. If the septic is set up with multiple chambers, the water that comes out of the end of...

Great post rScotty, a PTO stub in the tractor is in bearings and some are held in with only an internal circlip, not made to pull on. I had a wide tree felling wedge that I cut some of the centre out so it fitted over the PTO shaft, this tool makes it so easy to separate the shaft off the PTO stub

The US must have trucking companies looking for backloads. Often, you can get a good deal as the trucks are running empty.

I don't know what your tractor has to lock the hydraulic arms up, some tractors have a tap wheel below the seat, this slows the speed of arm drop and will stop the arms dropping. My tractor has many electric/hydraulic settings, including height, speed, and draft control.

An electric-activated diverter can be put into two of the 4 FEL ports, creating another 2 outlets. The electric toggle switch can be put on the joystick, a simple one-handed operation. The 2 extra hoses can be permanently fixed to the FEL with 2 quick couplings just behind the bucket, so any...

The clutch acts as the shear pin, put a good-grade bolt and lock nut to hold tight on the gearbox spigot

I totally agree, once you have the bottles and torch your world will open before your eyes, brazing, light steel welding, welding copper with silfos, heating and bending, cutting and more. Here in New Zealand Bunnings hires the bottles, one lifetime cost and when my blood stops pumping my Kids...

I would try disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes and then reconnect so the computer re-boots.

It looks like it should have no problem lifting that weight. Check the pump's pressure, and then, if that's Okay, check the relief valve. When lifting weight, do the cylinders creep down? If so, the cylinder seals may be leaking internally.

Here in New Zealand we us Basalt stone on roads and it ends up over the side or filling up the drains down the side of the road. We add a 20% lime chip in the load for problem roads, bad subgrade or steep, and spread that. I grade roads/driveways with my box blade and having tilt in my...

Do you have a tractor? I have built 2 forklifts that fit in the 3-point linkage of a tractor. I bought the mast, ram and forks from scrap dealers for a couple of hundred dollars and welded a frame with pins to suit a quick hitch and got hydraulic hoses made. they work well on 20 to 50-hp...

Have you tried resetting the computer? Disconnect the battery, turn on the lights to drain the residual power for 5 minutes, and then reconnect the battery. This sometimes works and is what the dealers will do first.

Years ago, I was opening a Quarry, and people objected by putting Ajax, an abrasive cleaner, into the big excavator hydraulic tank (200 gals). That went through the system, pealing and hardening off pump gears. The same was true for hydraulic motors and rams. Then, all the bits were found in the...

Batteries have a memory. You may be able to bring it back to life by recharging it, but to get the memory of full charge, fit the charger to a good, near-new battery, then jumper cable your old battery to it so both batteries are charging. Leave it overnight, then try it.

If the hydraulics didn't drop before you fitted the additional slice(extra outlet) the problem could be in the additional slice. Some additional slices have a grub screw in them that either has to be either removed or shifted to another hole, this controls the oil flow, power beyond or return to...

It looks like it's only leaking when you start the tractor so that narrows the problem down to the pressure feed from the pump to the control and the power beyond hose/pipe. Both steel and high-pressure hose can develop pin holes and the oil mists under high pressure. With the engine running run...

I have a 36Hp Iseki and use a 6' box blade. The tractor has a hydraulic top link and hydraulic tilt, this combination is perfect for grading gravel roads and driveways. I found box blades work the best when half full of gravel, it stops them from jumping and allows cutting and filling and with...

That indicates you have switched two hoses when you replaced them, look for power beyond and tank, and switch those around to get pressure to rear hydraulics.

When there is more than one operation, like front-end loader and rear hydraulic outlets one or the other will have power beyond. track the oil flow from the pump and the flow will either go to the rear controls or too the loader control. If it goes to the loader control you will see pressure in...

A boy at my school took his dad's PTO out of gear and while looking behind draped his arm over the back of the seat, he hadn't fully disengaged it and it started again wrapping his sleeve, it ripped off most of his arm and it wasn't able to be re-attached. Don't go anywhere near a PTO when the...

What is the safety starting procedure on your tractor like out of gear, clutch pushed in, high low in neutral, shifting the gear levers in and out a few times, they have sensors that may not be sending the ok message to start. Check their earth and starter to chassis and chassis to cab earth.

My Bulldozer has fittings like that for steel lines with double swage, they are more forgiving for lining up when fitting. If you are fitting "hose" change the fitting to suit hydraulic hose fittings.

A lathe and welder and grease would have that fixed quickly if you lived nearby in my country I would fix it for you.

Have had this happen, the hole that the turning handle lets dust and water get in, the lower one seizes first then the top one and they won't screw out as the threads inside are full of dirt and rust from the water. I did free one up by putting penetrating oil into the tube.

check the rotation is correct, I have seen hydraulic motors re-assembled incorrectly.

This corrosion could be caused from the earthing or the lack of. Late model tractors have every part, cab, engine, etc are isolated on rubber mounts.

Here in New Zealand, all fuel outlets require the fuel nozzle to be earthed through the hose as a lot of new cars have plastic fuel tanks so along as you touch the nozzle to the tank you should not have any issues.

Hi, probably your battery, but, Massey Ferguson had some different safety systems, depress the clutch, or, High/low in neutral and I recall one model here in New Zealand had a positive earth. Keep in mind all safety systems are normally a break in the earth—food for thought.
