    Branson 4220 head gasket failure

    The head gasket has failed on my Branson 4220. There are just 650 hours on the tractor, so I'm a little disappointed, but now I must deal with it.

    BRANSON 4220 INJECTOR PUMP LUBE

    Attached is a photo of the timing gear box for the fuel injection pump on my Branson 4220 tractor. As you can see, there's an orange filler cap marked "oil". I looked through the owner's manual and the engine manual, but I see no reference to this oil fill hole. I stuck a finger down the hole...

    Branson 4220 PTO shifter grinds

    My Branson 4220 has just developed a problem, or at least I just noticed it. The gearbox grinds hard when I try to shift the PTO into the 1000 rpm position, hard enough that I cannot get it to engage. It shifts normally into the 540 rpm position, though. When I shut the engine off the shifter...
