I figured I'd update this so it has an ending.
One correction to what i said in an earlier post: "For clarification, the Camshaft Position Sensory / Crankshaft Position Sensor / Engine Speed Sensor are all synonymous on this tractor. There is a single sensory on the front of the engine, between the alternator and crank pulley." THAT IS NOT FULLY ACCURATE
There is a separate Crankshaft Position Sensor located on the right hand side of the bell housing, just under the cab (essentially under the brake pedal). The tractor had no input from the Camshaft Position Sensor / Segment Speed Sensor (as per the harness tag), so it could only go off of the crankshaft speed sensor to communicate to the ECU about engine position. The ECU automatically limits engine speed to around 1900-2000 RPMs and the CHK ENG light comes up on the dash, showing code P0340 on the Garuda software.
So anyway, I finally had time to arrange for them to come up. Again, the dealer is just great, and sent the tech up to my house this morning when I was free.
I already had the sensor ready for replacement.
I raised the loader to max height. Locked the hydraulic joystick. Opened the hood. Removed the two 12mm bolts to hold the exhaust pipe on. And then had semi ok access (for my relatively small hands) to the sensor. I removed the harness clip. Then used a 5mm allen wrench to remove the single sensor bolt (note, the screw head had some paint or rust in it at first and I could only get a 3/16" allen in it but it was loose. A little wobbling around and I got the proper 5mm allen in there and removed the bolt).
Theres a rubber oring around the sensor. If it's not on there, be sure to fetch it from the hole in the block were you removed the sensor.
New Bosch Sensor P/N 0 281 002 667 was installed.
Clip placed back on.
Exhaust pipe reinstalled.
Turned on the key, let the grid heater run.
And she fired immediately upon cranking.
CHK ENG light gone.
Hooked up the Garuda software, P0340 code showed as healed, and we cleared it out afterward so the ECU is clean.
I'll also say that the temp gauge now responds appropriately after the reflash they performed on the initial visit also. Atleast it seems that way. it's also been 20-30 degrees warmer now though too.
Anyway, that's a wrap.
If you're located anywhere near Lebanon, PA; I highly recommend Power Pro Equipment in Lebanon for any of your needs. They're great people. Mel the sales manager, Matt the technician, and Lucas the parts guy were all great since I started dealing with them.
And the statement holds true, your warranty is only as good as the dealer who fulfills it. (Power Pro Equipment in New Holland was also very helpful when I first started looking).
I put this beast to work yesterday anyway even with only 1900 RPM limit. It digs like I hoped a 10,000 lbs tractor would. So happy with this purchase so far.
