URGENT help needed....

[teg]

That row of buttons is what I'm used to seeing on other forums, but I'm not seeing it either on Quick Reply or Go Advanced. I'm using Chrome.

Click on "Home" at the top... then on the Left side of that link, look for "General Settings".

Hope that works because I don't know what to do afterwards!!!

Thanks for all the input. I do have a come-along with me as well as a smaller B7100 Kubota to pull the bigger one around if needed. I'll see what I can do without starting it, but I tend to agree that running it from cold, as in tomorrow morning, for minute or two probably wouldn't hurt it. It's just that it's so new, I don't want to chance anything and wanted to post here in case there's something drastically different about diesels since my experience is mostly with gas engines.

The belt is still on but did spin on the fan pulley for a few seconds before I could get it shut down. I'll definitely replace it and it sounds like I just go ahead and cut it off.

I will check out the other thread on the 3800. Can't believe there's no protection plates under there.

I don't think it ran long enough to overheat and trigger any shutdown mechanisms if there is one. I had it shut down literally 3 or 4 seconds after it happened.

I was also wondering if a radiator shop could fix it but not sure they would be able to get the right end cap with the hose fitting. Worth asking around.

Guess I get to learn about loader removal for the repair. Should be fun.

This mishap was a real let down from the high of finding a 15 hour used tractor with loader, extended warranty, 5' brushhog, fancy $1000 dual blade road grader(never used), and hay forks(never used) for 15,750! Nothing like breaking it on the first day.

I do hope that you learned not to reverse when you drive over saplings or any other stuff when bush hogging. Not many tractors will have under body armor and even those that do, still seem to have some chinks in the armor. I have seen Caterpillars with brush stuck thru the radiator and those have about as good armor as can be made for a vehicle.
I do think that you could add some plating underneath to protect most of the tractor if you are willing to spend the money.

I do not think briefly running your tractor without radiator coolant will hurt it at all. As long as the water pump isn't turning, it wont pump out any remaining coolant in the engine so it wont get hot at all. It shouldn't take more than 2 minutes to drive the tractor onto the trailer and in that time, the block wont even get warm especially in the winter time.

I use Internet Explorer. Here's how I do it.

Click on "Go Advanced" below.
Top row of icons above, far left, box with "blue A", click on that turning off the blue.
Place cursor where you want the pic to appear.
Second row above, fourth from right, square picture box with black dots in corners, click on that. Insert image window will appear on screen.
I use "From Computer", click on "browse". Another window will open allowing you to retrieve a pic from your computer. Click on the pic and then click "open" at the bottom.
Now that pic address appears in the Insert Image window next to browse. Click "upload".
Now your pic will appear in your message wherever you placed your cursor. It will be thumbnail size.
If you want to change the appearance size, double click on the pic.
A window will appear that allows you to choose pic size. I use "full size".
Now your pic will appear where you chose at whatever size you chose. Kinda like this.

That was it, thanks. I'm surprised the default is just a text box editor. Anyway, I'll post some pics when I get a chance. I also turned on email notifications so that should work now.

Good job (on both!) Only thing, since I spend time on slow connections - here's your photo at 800kb vs. 2.955 megs.

Actually, that JPG was already downsized from 6MB but I agree it could be even smaller and still look good online. I'm not used to thinking about that much because most forums automatically downsize uploaded images. I guess that's another difference in this forum and others.
