oil pan removal

[Duramax88]

Ok I have been off for awhile so I will update you folks on What I am going to do. No luck with anything I've tried so I am throwing in the towel before I invest any more time. I am going to find a service center that deals in Jinma tractors to get them to fix the tractor before any more harm is done to the engine. I will keep you posted on what is found out to be the trouble.

Looked at the engine and found the JD stamp behind the injection pump. Under the manifold I found numbers stamped into the block but no tag (engine has been rebuilt with new block installed). Numbers look to read - 20111008.

A-HA! Who rebuilt the engine?

If you know who it is you should ask him about it. Methinks there's the rub.

What do you mean there's a rub? My mechanical terminology and knowledge is limited. Thanks

i think he just means that could be the issue. Maybe the rebuilder missed something.

Yep. A quote from Hamlet. Literal translation - "That's where the problem could lie". Really has nothing to do with mechanics or engineering. Didn't mean to confuse.

Forgive me if this has been brought up already, but has the engine had oil pressure at any time since the rebuild?

Based on your description, it sounds like the oil pump itself is fine, but that an oil passage is open somewhere which is keeping any oil pressure from building. That's not good because it means oil isn't getting everywhere in the engine.

Hello everyone, back again. Thought I would give an update about my tractor. Last week I took my tractor from where I live in Northeast Ohio down to Chesapeake , Va and dropped it off at Ranch Hand Supply for Ronald to find out why I am not getting oil pressure. Talked with Ronald for about a hour and a half explaining what had been done to the tractor to date. I am waiting for him to get back to me after he investigates the issue. When I get an answer I will give another update. Thanks to everyone who has tried to help me with this issue. I am pretty anxious to find out what is wrong.
