My recommendation is a little more expensive, but a Lincoln 180 Dual is a one and done welder for the occasional welder, by one and done, I mean, buying a cheaper welder to learn on, then buying another welder to upgrade later. Buy a good one to start with, and you'll never have to buy another...

I have had the whole center pin come out, not just the screw and do the dame thing. I was going to respond with that, but you already had it solved. Thanks for posting!

Sounds to me the lockoff valve is not seating.

I'd start by blowing compressed air through the fuel lines, somewhat gently, to clear any obstructions. I've also seen where the fuel return lines being plugged will do that as well. That being said, if the injector pump is being fed fuel well, and with the injectors able to return the excess...

The bigger rocks will be troublesome, but I don't see any issues. The stone looks pretty fractured, so it may go really well.

I've read about draining the oil and checking for flakes and what not. Has the oil level been checked? if the fuel was left on wheil bouncing down the road in the bed of a pickup, the float in the carburetor bounces too, flooding the engine. If then left to sit for a day or two, that gas seeps...

Most auto parts houses will have, or can get, new solenoids. My guess, because it will start right off with jumper cables, the connection to the battery post(s) post needs cleaned up. I know you said they were clean, hopefully shiny, and I am also assuming that your hooking your jumper cables...

I was a Husqvarna dealer for 12 years, just changed careers a year ago. Trans axles are used in lawn tractors. ZTRs use 2 pump/motor units, at around 1000# a piece, giving you nearly 2000#. As for the OP, If you went for a Husky, I would say a minimum of a Z4xx series, it is a robust residential...

Have you tried turning off the battery switch for a few minutes? Then go to your fuses and relays. After that I would check the plugs and wires paying special attention with a good light and magnifying glass looking at the pins and sockets in the plugs.

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...

If you can, depending on the heater, an hour or two is all it should take. In my situation, I plug the tractor in when I am done, unplug when I need to use it. Mostly every day, but sometimes up to 4 days between. The cost is miniscule, but having a warmish tractor at my disposal is priceless...

So here it is, many months later. Life is slowing down for the fall/winter months from the busy-ness of summer. I have stacked over 10,000 bales (60-80lb bales) on a trailer 8 at a time bouncing around the fields, and the 3020 didn't use a drop of oil. Once the residual oil burnt out of the...

I honestly skimmed over 10 pages. I do everything at least once a year. In my opinion, all those additives as well a the oil itself breaks down over time and usage. I did my old Allis 175 which had 4 hours on it this year, 250 hrs being recommended. I also did my Case 75c at 453hrs, recommended...

I replied mag spray, which is Magnesium Chloride. Calcium chloride will have the same result, very effective, but keep the vehicles clean (garden hose) with both for the first week + until it really soaks into the dirt. I don't know anything about Polymer binders to share any knowledge.

Generally speed and traction are factors of creating the washboard. I don't know anything about your driveway, as far as length, grade, etc. Using a blade to "cut the highs and fill the lows" won't get rid of the underlying issue, the loose material you cut off the top will fill the lows, but...

I went back and I did not find anything about 20" or 20'...but the oil spray out of the exhaust pipe was easily 20 feet in diameter in the snow. It would ahve easily covered the seat if the tractor wasn't backed into the shed up to the muffler.

So, here it is again, on my radar as the "next project", although I am sure that something else with more importance will pop up, like my brothers water heater scheduled for tomorrow morning. This tractor fired right up, no hesitation, and I have no oil blowing out of the exhaust...like it was...

DarkBlack; I checked the radiator like you suggested, coolant is bright and green, although I didn't start it, I don't want to until I am ready to lift the loader and pull it into the shop. If it was fuel in the oil from the fuel system, the oil level wouldn't have dropped, it would have gained...

In a regular vehicle with good roads, Laramie the Guernsey was and hour and a half. In Humvees only the trip was closer to two hours. In a See it was another half hour. Kuwait city to what is now Ali airbase was a good ten hours. They are like a Swiss Army knife, can do a lot of things, but none...

I do not miss the SEE trucks. Miserable to convoy down the road in, the seat had a foreword tilt so you have to use your legs the entire time, especially with body armor. The backhoes worked fine as a PTO pump off the transmission ran those hydraulics, but the skid steer size bucket ran off the...

I just saw the second page, oops. I had a Kubota engine in a generator where the crankcase vent was plugged with ice. A rubber plug blew out and sent oil everywhere. That plug is for another location for the dipstick depending on the engine application, such as this engine in the generator is...

It's been a little while fallas, I apologize. A bigger project came up and it'll take some time before I can really get this into the shop. I'll start posting again when I get started. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply Boomer, I will try that this week.

I don't know your area, but if you have a beet or a potato farmaround you, ask for a scrap of their conveyor belt. 1/4" thick and very sturdy, although black, frayed, and maybe unsightly...

Set everything out, look at it, think logically, then just kinda wing it. Who's to tell ya it's wrong? If it don't work, modify and Binford, can't go wrong.

The 3020 Deere is a heck of a lot bigger than a single cyl Honda, but engines are engines. Valve seals are very likely in both cases. I didn't think about what Hay Dude said about crankcase vent... Been There and Big Bubba, my compression tests from 1-4 are: 325, 317, 321, 330, so I am not...

TractorTech, you are absolutely right. I apparently didn't look close enough, I'm too accustomed to tractors older than I am. Replace the o-rings 100%.

I have had all three. The R14 tires were fine most of the time, loading hay out of the field and stacking it in the shed, terrible choice while pulling the disc, let alone the plow or chisel. R4's, for what I do, I would never own another set. For me, plowing snow with tire chains, making and...

RTV silicone, of the Grey or black ultra flavor

Most, and I emphasize most, trailers are rated per axle combination. With 2-7k axles they call it 14k trailer, but that takes out the weight of the trailer itself. So, a "14k" trailer minus the #2500 ish weight of the trailer itself makes it ~11.5k capacity. Some of that is put on the truck...

This is running on all four cylinders just fine, has a hard time revving up but I'm sure that's because of the oil. I haven't let it get hot enough for a runaway. I am also thinking valve stem seals, but I didn't know if there was somewhere else that I should check first. I am a heavy equipment...

I think ketchup is spicey... anything hotter will blow out an o-ring...

I second taking it right back to the dealer.

I'm assuming that you have a electric over hydraulic diverter valve, are you getting power to the solenoids? A lot of those kits use a button to activate the solenoid, then you need to use the dump/curl function or lift/drop function as it diverts the hydraulic flow to the 3rd function.

Have you checked pressures of your functions? I'm wondering about your pressure relief and/or a priority flow divider. Is it possible your P and PB ports are reversed?

I have a '65 Deere 3020 diesel non-turboed that I had plugged in overnight to fire up the next morning to push snow. All of a sudden after 3-4 minutes of running to warm up, tractor hadn't moved yet, it started smoking like an old steam locomotive. I went over to it and oil was blowing out of...

My dad recently was given a Farmall M that had a stuck motor. We poured diesel into the spark plug holes and let it sit a week or so, then used a board and a large hammer to knock out the one stuck piston, all the others were free. We then did an in-frame rebuild without doing the main seals nor...

This may be the shortest thread ever, we'll see... I'm helping restore a '42 9n. I need the grill, dog legs, and fenders with the raised Ford lettering. Where can I find these parts, original, and are they interchangeable with the 8n and 2n?

Currently 44* F this morning, with 60% chance of rain. Maybe it will get rid of the two feet of snow still in my yard, although that means the driveway will be a mess for the next month. Here we have three seasons, snow, mud, and dry.:D

I've got a miller bobcat welder that I bought at auction and it has been great. This last summer it started burning a lot of oil. I've decided to rebuild it, but haven't ever done a small engine before. I have done an old stove bolt chevy, a couple small block Chevys, and a 4 cylinder dry...

Greetings all!! I just got an '84 Agri-power 5000, AKA Zetor 5211. I've spent all week getting it running and changing/cleaning all fluids and filters. Unfortunatly, there are no labels left to tell me what each lever and knob does. There are two levers left of the seat, and three on the...

Here's that pic of a Pump somiliar to mine. Banjodunn is correct about paying attention to where the gorvernor springs are. This pump is on multiple machines, from CAT to Allis and so on. The spring location changes a lot of the function. I hope nobody minds that I took this pic from the net...

I've got a Massey 165 with a Perkins AD4.203 diesel engine. The Injector pump is a C.A.V. pump. The whole problem started while clearing snow with the FEL. The tractor rpm's went through the roof, causing the head gasket to blow out. We got everything fixed, or so i thought, the tractor starts...

Greetings all. I have a 68 ish massey 165 with some sort of problem. I could have the usual suspects such as a cracked head, blown head gasket, leaking sleeve, hole in sleeve (caused by cavitation of the coolant), cracked block, or a loose head bolt. By the way, its a diesel. I dont have the...
