I was truly amazed at the photo of the turnings. They appear to be uniform, such as in the case of a CNC drill or lathe, not erratic, such as in the case of an internal failure of a pump or other internal rotating part, where the debris would be more like flakes. By my humble opinion, these were...

Excellent report!! I wonder why it pops out, is it that oil pressure can build up behind it, pushing it out? Yet the internal oil leak isn't the same as the oil gallery having a hole in it....still it can build some pressure. Just wondering aloud....I'll be on the lookout for this on my next...

Vincent, I'm in West Nashville, and I have no idea how your machine is designed. But with more info, I may be able to help. I'd like to know how the shifting strategy is arranged. I'll look into it....Is this machine a powershift? Regards, Dan

Thank you, OSUOrange. I like JI Case tractors, too, All American. The 1370 has an 8.3 liter turbo diesel. Downshifting too quick is what killed most of them. I know of an 830 Case non turbo that ran away, due to a governor problem, ran that way for four minutes, and survived just fine.

14.6 volts is good, but it is considered right around the maximum that you want. Higher voltage than 14.6 can cause the battery to gurgle and spew. Nice job on the DIY alternator service.

I admit I'm guessing here, but I'd figure that a blown cam plug on the back of the engine would cause a bunch of oil in the bellhousing/transmission case as applicable. If that were the case, it might color the transmission oil black.

Bulldog- PM sent. D

As I go through the disassembly of my burned out M125X, i noticed that the hydraulic oil cooler seems a bit small, given the GPM. I don't propose any solutions, just an observation. I may retrofit a larger cooler from a much larger tractor being that I will no longer have an A/C...the cooler is...

Got the tractor stripped, head's off, for the most part it all looks fantastic. I will, however pull the pan and pistons, for a re-ring, as there was some water in two cylinders. There was so much oily crud on top of the engine, that it acted like an insulating blanket. The paint was not peeled...

I got the photobucket album created, but can't seem to figure out how to link it to the post. Here's the web address to the album. Sorry for the inconvenience. S1282.photobucket.com/albums/a532/Countrymech Thanks all. Cheers, Dan

Daniel- 113 years is quite a track record! I bet your ranch has worn out all kinds of agricultural equipment in its day. I'm getting closer to making the link to the photobucket album, I don't know about copy and paste, I'm running a Mac 17 desktop. If the link won't activate, I'll have...

Daniel- Thanks again! January 1900 to this date is quite a track record. I bet you have worn out all kinds of tractors and equipment. I look forward to hearing about your machines. I have formed a photo album of the 13 photos on photobucket, but the next step is to make the connection to...

Gurn- Thank you for the welcome!! Great to hear from you. I'm on the West Side, and have been here since 1996, working on anything I can get my hands on, but have been into tractors for some time. Have been doing a lot of motorpool work these days, mostly 90's vintage Ford diesels, late 90's GM...

Thank you Dan and Gpruess- I appreciate everyone's welcomes. I took my Navy Seabees Construction Equipment Mechanic training in Oxnard at the Navy base, Ventura County. I thought it was a real nice place, went there from boot camp. It seems that anywhere at all is a nice place right out of...

Thank you for the replies. I will send photos of the disaster. I am hesitant to send them because so many people have told me...."what have you done..".. this should be good material for a laugh! Cheers, Dan

Hello Kubota Forum, I am new to this forum, and new to ownership of Kubota equipment. As a tractor mechanic, I have appreciated the advanced design of Kubota machinery as I worked on them. I remember the first Kubota 4X4 I did a clutch on, and how it was designed to help me keep the front and...
