Tell me about it. The rollover was my son. I'd been busy with something else and when I looked up I saw THAT, an empty seat and in my mind my son who tried to jump underneath it all. THAT was a bad feeling! It took me a good 2 seconds to see him standing 10 feet to the left. The more/less 20...

I stumbled on an article "Tractors in trouble" but can't find the thread. So here's two of mine from the past

Thanks for the informative response! And a few years later the saga continues :) My BOSCH inline pump doesn't seem to have the view-port or I'm too dumb to find it. It's on a normally aspirated F6L912 in my 1991 Deutz-Fahr-Dx-6.05 (european model). The good book says to time it with a...

A little follow-up on this: it never rains but pours! I had broken the piece during stripping, had it welded by a pro but the weld was faulty and I broke it again, he tried again but finally gave up saying it was not weldable. So I made one out of a block of aluminum myself:

I found a used tire for $250, finished the fornt axle-build and stowed it just in time for winter. The rebuilt engine should emerge from the skunk-works in May.

Wow, I didn't know about these replies, thanks gang!!! Somehow I'm not getting the email notices, maybe I've been blacklisted again by the anti-spam gestapo. I found an almost identically worn tire, working on getting it shipped BUT now that I have stepped into the topic I might as well learn...

I came upon this video which I don't think I'd want to undertake but I do have a bucket-tooth victim in the form of a relatively low-pressure Michelin 440/65R28 (front on a Deutz Dx-6.05). The damage is in the form of a flap that's hanging and is about 4" wide by 6" long. The backhoe boom...

My Dx-6.05 has this integrated cast iron tank under the seat. I had to repair the (yellow/red) control module (top left) and also the (white) cover and make a new gasket. The inside of the tank looked clean enough but the 3 (yellow dots) ports have some dirt in them. That's where the ganged...

I don't know how to undo/redo these and I don't wanna break the glass if at all possible

Anybody seen an "engine removal/installation" chapter in any documemtation for this? I'd really enjoy not becoming a reddish brown stain underneath it.

Just in closing I GOTTA thank all the advice received here in 6 years, I really was sold on them 5130's but what scared me were the horror stories about speed-shifts and shuttle-switches none of which I need. And then came this dx6.05 with a 3-point on each end plus effetively 3 PTO's.

Done! Just as I was casing a Case-IH 5130 that I was ready to buy I stumbled upon a 1991 Deutz-Fahr-Dx-6.05 with an air cooled 6-holer. Its F6L912 engine puts out only about 300 ft-lbs but some versions of it can go to 500 (3 size ranges of crank throw and cyl bore combos avail, I yet have to...

I will be looking for expertise, documentation, new/used parts sources and *whatever I can find* Addendum 2022-11-09: Hauled it home yesterday, only arriving did we spot an 8 inch bolt almost completely fallen out of the trailer left undercarriage bogie at the end of a 1300km run (brand-new...

I *have* 2 5.9's, one in my snow-blower and one that's almost new in the shop thast needs some TS and maybe a fuel pump but if I just drop in the long block and adopt the 5130 accessories then not even that.

I just looked at some more recent Cat specs and noticed a trend to cite breakout in terms of torque rather than force (i.e. ft-lbs). Still my 426's supposedly 50% above lift capacity breakout force means that, if I hit a bump in the road while transporting, my snow blower kept comfortably aloft...

There is no such thing, only answers can be stupid and Picasso discovered that much in spite of his handicaps when he said "Computers are useless, they only give us answers" :) So I feel at ease jumping in here albeit a little late. My Cat-426 has a breakout force of around 6000 lbs against a...

I've sold my little B-275 and am looking again, and since this thread already has the right title ..... I do have an A1 Cummins 5.9 but I don't want to limit myself to that engine. Having just cased the Belarus MTZ-1221 I discover that even that make (known for it's otherwise desirable...

Any luck in 5 years? I'm looking for the Operating, Service, and Parts manuals for a 1993 Landini 10000S {not interested in unknown (minor instead of brand name) sites requiring a CC}

Re: Cat 426 Oil light, Horn, Immobilizing I certainly intend to find it if it's there or to know for sure that it isn't if it isn't :) Just made myself a simplified wiring diagram to help with the TS, though the real wiring isn't exactly the same. It's a 32 year old rig so the wiring isn't...

I'm looking for answers about on 2 other forums, no solutions thus far :-( Ser# 7BC01181 (1st made-in-england series with Perkins engine) This morning after about half an hour light snow-work - the warning horn sounded - the oil light came on - the machine stopped moving. Now if I start...

I bought this alternator for my snow-blower's cummins 5.9 12-valve (no internal wiring diagram). DB Electrical AND71 Alternator (For 94 95 96 97 98 1332), Alternators - Amazon Canada Not knowing any better (to research and do it myself) I farmed out the hookup to a retired technical school...

Jeeez, I forgot to check in after the first reminder and did't suspect a ton of great advice already waiting. My apologies! Happens al he time, I wish I could get an alert on each reply. I've done the tacked strip for a pilot hole before, also done the guide-bore holding hole made of plywood...

What's a relatively good/easy way to increase 80mm holes in 1/4" steel to 90mm? I have 4 of them to do, gas torch is out as it's too rough. Ideally I'd imagine a kind of tapered huge coarse rotary file running on air for good torque, one that self-centers and goes up to 90+ mm. It's for...

Other than every joint being loose it works, BUT it _seems_ like not the original config! Someone swapped in the wrong box or front end making a reversing bellcrank necessary? Any b275 experts? Thanks.

the BIG rad discussed elsewhere met the inevitable loader edge and pierces 2 pairs of aluminum veins about center section bottom. First repair was onlty on one pair and failed because another pair was punctured next to it. Second attempt went like clockwork. BE VERY PATIENT and well lit up...

I was getting only 12 system voltage so suspecting a burnt alternator diode I installed a new alternator that was on hand ...to no avail. Seeing that I was unable to finish the TS I thought I should get some advice. The host is a Cat-426 w. a Perkins diesel. One of the alternator connections is...

I listed the appended (re-edited) items in another thread but I think the topic of winter diesel problems deserves its own. I've had so many problems with freezing/frozen diesel that cannot for th elife of me imagine why such precautions are not standard fare (especially on the hight seas). I...

I gave up on the small radiator idea BTW, at least for now, mostly because I have no room on the sides of the engine where I would have wanted to squeeze them in. Should I later find that I don't ned the stock monster I can always downsize later. According to one Cummins user I might even find...

my oldest son beat me to it but I also am planning something like this, maybe more along the lines of a diesel rat pickup, my triple carb days being long gone :-))))

[techinically resolved] Re: Done with hydrostatics Here's part-A of my solution, I just bagged it for a grand, a little loose here and there but NOTHING is broken and everything works, has been working for 58 years and is good for another 58. part-B , a new DR pto mower is 3 grand but a...

The hydrostatic tranny on my 2009 cub-cadet with only 300 hours is kaput. This was my second hydrostatic mower, the previous one was a Toro that lasted much longer but it still went too just before I bought this one. No more. Anybody know off-hand the last year the the ford riding mowers had...

Why would the radiator input hose from the engine pump be larger than the radiator output hose to the engine thermostat? For the Cummins 5.9 diesel the first is 2-1/4" and the second 1-3/4". If I connect two ATV radiators in parallel the flow will of course 'favor' the path of least...

I noticed these and I think the real purpose is to allow the engine-bay to warm up :-) I'm going to run a Cummins 12-valve on a snow blower and since it will be used between 0c and -30c I figure on just bolting a 12"x18" rad with an electric fan to something. Mentally eyeballing the idea it...

I did, thanks, that's the ballpark price. I just bought a couple of injectors from RockAuto, they also carry a long list of gauges. To begin with I'll try to make us of the existing sensors and just buy indicators for them; I need to know if any are just switches etc. The host truck was...

Both of my 12-valve Cummins had around 130 kilokilometers on them, close to what 1500 hours would mean. The 175hp one I'm building right now had a rust-perforated waste-gate actuating diaphragm chamber making it useless. Kind of surprising and also a lesson because this thing will never...

The first engine bagged (and to enter service) in this project is coming along nicely. It's my second diesel and first Cummins build. I've learned a lot of respect for Cummins in the exercise, for example the way the power steering pump is done. It's exactly how "I" would have done it. Let's...

Re: Bosch P7100 injection pump 3 other Q's 1 On the fuel "Supply" banjo there's a cardboardish paper sleeve, what's its purpose and where does it go? 2 What does the #1 "start" position do, just flood with loads of extra fuel? 3 The shutdown lever is mechanically sprung OUT of shutdown...

I pulled this pump offa the ram truck engine I'm rebuilding. The pro shop did not overhaul it per-se but 'looked at it' and it so happens claimed to have 'fixed a minor snag'. I'm in the process of cleaning it up before returning it to the parent engine and noticed that they left two little...

This is a fairly typical Perkins except for the prepended "C" which stands for Compensated which stands for just a little boosted i.e. not as much as the T4.236 which is "real" turbo :) I've had to purge ice from the fuel system many times before to fix a lack of guts or even drop-dead...

This link (so far alone out of a dozen including 3 emails to Cummins) bore fruit! KUDOS to Rocky Mountain Cummins!!!! Whaaaaaada a mess, don't know where to begin. The engine number is 44966271 and the CPL is 1550. This was the engine number given to the API piston-kit supplier who sent me...

i noticed that the nanual gives end gaps as folows page V-30 oil control: .010-.022 page V-31 top ring: .012-.018 intermediate ring: .032-.047 bottom (oil) ring: .010-.023 The oil ring spec max is incongruent .022 vs .023, this would make me lose confidence in the Cummins manual if I still...

I don't know where to post this, the _parts_ forum is for 'compact' tractors, plus this is only about an engine. Rebuilding a Cummins 5.9 12-valve made in 1994 January-10 or October-01 (plate says 19940110) I got my hands on a set of main bearings that are supposedly new Clevites. The 2...

Just fishing for a general purpose 4x4 tractor that 'could' take a Cummins-5.9. I'd like the smallest frame but not so small that a bigger engine will just spin the wheels under load. 400 lbs of torque is pretty standard for this engine at around 1600 rpm and I would want to be able to actually...

And I thought I had found IT.. Unless I missed something, never more than 1 piston was out and then I put it back in the same place. But on their way to the glass full of lamp-oil two of he rollers fell on the shop floor, I found one in minutes but the other one only after an hour of...

Obviously you've seen a few dandies :laughing: Mine might become one too, I can't even put it back together so if I ever send it to be rebuilt it's gonna be a box full of parts! These are the only question-marks I found in the pump, I guess a pro would put it on the test-bench and find a...

I should have the liner/blade set tomorrow, the old one doesn't look too bad I also opened the Advance fitting and eyeballed the piston, it's free to move with no sticking and has just a touch of staining in two spots. BTW it's the Cummins manual that says that a missing check-ball will...

On a Cummins 5.9 12-valve currently in the shop I will have to take a close look inside the injectin pump as it is the last one in a long line of suspects for failure to accelarate. There is another engine just like it on youtube where you can see THAT operator also trying to coax the rpm's up...

The book says to fill the oil pump with oil before installation ...or else. Ok, I get the message and it makes a lot of sense too. The thing is that even if I do fill it the engine will be rotated every which way a hundred times before I ever get near that first start. There's gotta be a...

I just closed the bottom end of a Cummins 5.9 and got me a surprise while measuring some oil stats. The dipstick goes to 4-1/2 inches below the pan gasket line, the FULL mark on it is maybe a good 2 inches above the tip i.e. more or less at 2-1/2 inches below the pan gasket datum. All my life...

I'm looking at two maybe three little used engines that measure bore diameters above new but still far short of any rebore OS threshold. One piece of advice I got from a Harley guru is to hone them out and then use oversize rings making sure that the gaps are near max tolerance. I can relate to...

There are different kinds of compression tester fittings mostly according to max anticipated pressure. Mine is good to 1000 psi and has a male fitting like so I don't know what the format is 'called', maybe its the 1000 psi format? While trying to devise an adaptor for a Cummins 6bt...

Re: Snow PUMP [engine #2] Just bagged another engine, now I have one for the truck as well i.e. this one is better suited for the blower. It's a 1998 industrial 12-valve suggested earlier in the thread by several members. It used to be a fire pump in a factory, they pulled it for unknown...

Opened the engine, not to bad at all, the cylinders were dry like the engine had not run for ages but provisional measurements are in the acceptable range so a rebore may not be required (maybe some kind of refinishing and then re honing). The crosshatch is quite visible in may places, I never...

Finally tried starting the engine, it loos like a rebuild, won't even fire with ether, the compression must be very low and I have nothing to test it with. Maybe I'll borrow one but it don't look good. Not to complain since this was a likely outcome given the price. Meanwhile, IF a rebuild...

As I said my knowledge of engine-adapters is a subzero abyss even on the kelvin scale :laughing: I am slowly learning however, for example these flywheel plates are called "flywheel-housings", and with that covered if I read you right then I might even already have exactly what I would need in...

I don't get this, AGAIN I missed out on the email alerts and I think I know what the PROBLEM is. I don't get an alert for every response nor do I get a a second one until I visit the forum again. So if I decide to not respond right-away to a message then a whole lineup goes by without me...

Thanks very much for your help. I spent an hour last might looking at the transmissions used on dodge trucks and spotted an nv3500 with some really interesting ratios. This was developed in response (supposedly with a lower number following?) to complaints that the nv4500 was geared too high. By...

Did YOU notice a significant power increase from 160 to either 215 or 235? As far as my use of a transmission might become a factor, that'll be if and when I morphe the machine into a truck hosted one, and then I would rather use an automatic with a transfer case which would give me some usable...

I have this project and am starting to get dizzy trying to keep up with all the different threads on different forums according to the subsystem involved. I will attempt to concentrate the general topic to this appropriate forum. The initial project now serving it's 8th season: Deutz...

I'm planning a snow-blower (posted elsewhere) possibly using an engine driven pump and one fan motor. I would like to devise control system that comprises 2 levers, one to set not-to-exceed engine rpm such as 2400, and another to set desired fan rpm such as 800. When the demand is low because...

I managed to squeeeeeeze out some time to throw together what could be a useful utility. It sure is 4 me! I'm sure there are much better ones but this one is MINE ..and I have no idea where them better ones would be anyway. Take a peek, scripts must be enabled in browser. Remember: it's a...

I don't either, around 1500 lbs or less depending on a number of design steps, same for the rear engine + transmission or pump. Using some aluminum can help but I don't see at all how I could get it below 1,000 lbs and still accomodate the basic design imperatives. The small pickups, jimmy's and...

there's a u-tube video link above, I'm not sure how uploads are accounted here and wouldn't wanna run out of space but here's two small ones :D I may continue using this same platform and/or move everything to a new one; 1-2 years..

Thanks, I saved that for ref. Here's one that saw daylight before c-joints I think, can't tell if that's a D6 but I did hear that the fan (on the roof) was for cooling a V-belt gang :-)

I'm planing a redo of my snow-blower (see also under hydraulics) and ONE possible Tx resolution would be to place the engine-and-transmission behind the 4x4 vehicle and find a way to pass a single driveshaft right through whatever is in the way between it and the snow-blower in the front. The...

I cooked up some more #'s, they are definitive of nothing but do give me a much needed "sense" of the thing. The fan is strong enough but it sits on the original JD throughshaft auger gearbox, not sure but it's only about 1-1/4" shaft. That gearbox comes off if i go hydraulics and using the...

There, i added up the beans for a nominal 5000 psi setup and the pump volumes (weights) look much better now. I hope I didn't screw up the calc anywhere :-)

I've been tinkering with fan tip speeds and such, here' s the results I don't understand how variable pressure pumps work i.e. just how that pans out in practice. The last 'notes' entry on the attached image is what I would consider a pro solution but have no idea how I would accomplish it...

I put this into service Xmas 2009 and it is now starting its 8th season of abuse. By abuse I mean everything from design to the blower detaching, breaking the electrical harness and running away downhill into a ravine. [1st post utube link not allowed] # is zsgvwMYn0N0 But it works, and...

been here before, forgot my name/pwd, so off to a new start..
