2320 question

[mcgill72143]

went to the dealer to drive my 2320 (waiting on loader and 62D to come in) and I notice when I kill the motor the whole front end shakes when it dies...is this just the nature of a diesel tractor or should I be worried.....remember guys this is my first tractor so don't laugh.....

Mine shakes about an inch lasting a quarter second with the fel up or down.

Diesels have a lot of compression and that may be the shake you experience.

It's a three cylinder diesel in a relatively light frame, expect it.

thanks guys...I noticed when I killed it that it would shake the whole hood and front end and didn't know if it was just the nature of the beast or not....starting it shaked the front hood a little but killing it was worse...

Find another tractor and try it out. The other thing is that it might not be as pronounced when the engine breaks in. Those little Yanmar's are great engines and just about bullet proof.

maybe when starting one cylinder doesn't catch. And when stopping, one cylinder begins to diesel (continues to run).
I would have that looked into by a mechanic.

don't think its continuing to run...I think it maybe normal for a diesel and im just not use to it since this is my first one.... .....

It's normal...diesels are so heavy, with such high compression, making so much torque, that they've shook or shifted everything that I've ever seen a diesel started in. The only thing I would do would be what Rob suggested, check another tractor of the same model and see how it reacts.

...the only thing this dealer has close is the 3005 model...I may start it and see if its close to the same...:thumbsup:
