If it's easy to get at, you could just unhook the cable and manually open the valve. Give it a test and see what difference it makes.

Possibly air lock in the heater core. But perhaps a plugged up heater core. Suggest flushing the heater core if possible by unhooking the inlet and outlet hoses and forcing water through the heater making sure you are getting a good flow. Drain your coolant out of the whole system and replace...

A nice way to hold the valve while doing this work is to first drill a hole in a piece of wood the size of the valve. Then cut it in half or cut one side and then put this in the vise with the valve in the hole. Squeeze gently until it holds will being worked on. Don't over squeeze. No damage...

Definitely a new seal situation because that one is loose now and will never stay in. The new one might not stay in either but hopefully it will fit tighter. Just in case it is loose, when you install the new one, use some silicone sealant, the type used by car guys where oil is involved, not...

Looks great, but now I'll ask the stupid question. How do you keep the shackles from falling off when the bolt comes loose?

Always enjoyable to look at your latest creations. Great work. Had you ever thought of this stuff for heat protection. http://www.jegs.com/p/JEGS-Performance-Products/JEGS-Premium-Exhaust-Header-Wrap/1202563/10002/-1

LRP, I've always enjoyed reading your posts. Please don't stop. Your a Canadian, we are tougher than them Americans. I'm sure I'll get burned, by who cares! Some call me PotatoDriver.

You may want your dealer to check the 'high pressure relief valve pressure' for the forward and reverse side. It is supposed to be 3280 to 3840 psi. Low pressure will cause it to sit there and just moan and do nothing when pulling heavy or trying to climb steep slopes. Make sure it is set to...

Your addicted to ORANGE! :D

Great job. Must have been a few tries before getting all those hose connections on in the right order and in the right place. Not much room for some of those 90's to turn on the control valve. Looks ready for work.

Nice work Wildfire! But come on Guys, we have to convince him to paint it ORANGE!:D

This one is supposed to weigh 4200 lbs according to some government scales. And that is empty by the way. Came from the front end of a pavement roller. The attachment is actual the steering yoke off the roller, thus the extra weight. And with split drum, not too difficult to haul, on the flats!:D

Grab rail for the end of your bed.

Black is ground. Red should be 12v. White should be 12v from timer. Check with a test light if the red and white have power with key turned in run mode and again with key in start mode. You may need an extra set of hands to help you. Power to the fuel shut off keeps your tractor running. No...

MVWOOD, Just thought of a test. Try running 12 volt test wire direct from battery to fuel cut-off solenoid. Then try starting tractor. If it runs it is a power to the shut off problem. You will have to disconnect the 12 volt wire to get it to stop.
