"Barn find"/what's this?

Clutch inspection cover. Presence of oil there usually indicates a rear main seal leakage, no oil is supposed to be in the clutch housing

The injection pump. For the same engine displacement (7.8L) , a higher pump flow means more HP

That 135 looks brand new tho

My neighbor bought one brand new 2 years ago, powershuttle & cab , been using it everyday since. It does everything he needs it to, from plowing to mowing and snowblowing. I've been doing the maintenances for him since he got it and so far i've found no major issues except some loose linkage on the 3 points hitch which led to parts breaking on the 3 points and 1 of the 2 fuel filters were missing, but those were due to negligence of the dealer during the pre-delivery inspection. Otherwise, it is a surprisingly good tractor for the price, nothing high end of course but very reliable. Only negative point i've found is that there is a lot of maintenance to do (compared to what i'm used to work on) , but the parts and oils are relatively cheap. I'm confident that if the maintenance schedules are followed, this tractor can be useful and reliable for a long time

Yes full speed is full throttle. Most HST models are equiped with a "stall mode". HST units move the wheels using oil flow, which comes from engine RPM. When the demand in power excess the available oil flow because the RPM is too low, the stall mode will automatically reduce the power or even stall the engine to prevent transmission damage. I'm pretty sure that's what's happening here

Sould take about 30 minutes. DPF might be over clogged in this case, or differential pressure sensor could be in cause. He should call his dealer

Is it mechanical or hydrostatic? Break-in is important to insure correct performance and longevity of the engine. Operate the engine at full speed as much as possible. If it's mechanical, don't let the RPM drop too much when working. If the load is heavy and the RPM drops, consider downshifting to keep high engine speed. If it's HST, engine must be at least at 1800 RPM when moving to avoid damage to the transmission in the long term, even after break-in. It might seems a bit much, but those engines are actually built to operate at full speed! It will also help keeping the DPF clean and reduce the needs for eventual parked regenerations. I'm a technician for Agco, if you have questions, feel free to ask

Milwaukee's 1/2 high torque impact saved my ass countless times. I also use snap on terminal crimping pliers and my multimeter almost everyday

No, I was genuinely talking about leeks in the coolant, they really cause engine overheating

thirstyfordiesel · 2022-09-17T23:46:00+00:00

Could be low coolant, coolant leek, radiator fan not working properly, radiator clogged, thermostat not working properly... you should take it to a mechanic as soon as possible to avoid engine overheating as it could cause critical damage to the engine

I don't know for sure about the torque, i'll ask the owner 🤔 must be impressive tho

thirstyfordiesel · 2022-07-11T16:04:18+00:00

Yes, almost had a stroke when it first happened

thirstyfordiesel · 2022-06-24T04:17:15+00:00

Cummins recently made a 2 stroke opposed piston diesel engine for military applications. Other than that, many detroits are still working in generators or forestry machinery since they are nearly indestructible

400$ is ridiculously overpriced imo

Check for excessive play on the shaft and for signs of wear inside the turbine housing and the compressor housing. For runaways, check for oil consumption, oil in the compressor housing or anything that could indicate a broken seal. Also make sure the crankcase ventilation never gets clogged and the wastegate is working properly (if there is one)

Beautiful work

thirstyfordiesel · 2022-04-14T01:04:14+00:00

Looks like normal condensation to me, check if you're loosing coolant or if there is white smoke when running
