Heres what the seller has to say about the engine: The motor was used in a Timberjack skidder to run a hydraulic pump that ran a 60 foot altec lift. It is used by Asplundh tree company to trim trees. I am the foreman on the machine. The motor was getting tired ie: losing power and smoking...

Thanks for your help What do you mean by 'its seen too much weather to consider much more than a complete core'? i don't know much about engines. Do you think what i heard that not all engines of the same model are alike, and that it's very important to make sure they have the same OEM...

I'm looking to replace the engine in my GF1800 (small outfront mower) it uses a D722 engine. I found a used engine that i would like to put in it, but it was obviously used for something else other than a tractor before. I've heard that not all engines of the same model are alike, and that it's...

Looking to either repair my current D722 (cracked head.. couple other problems) or replace it! please let me know if you've got something, thank you!

So, still haven't made any progress here.. I've been trying to get ahold of service dept. vic on these forums, but so far no luck. Does anyone have the contact information for the shop he works at so i could call him directly (PM me) I see there are a few people from alberta on here, if i...

Hello again Vic, I don't mean to pester you, but do you think this is something you could take on? i want to make sure its in the right hands.. even if you can't look at it right away, it's not doing me any good here, i can drop it off whenever is convenient for you. If you'd like to email me...

Hello Service Dept Vic, I sent you a PM a few days ago, asking if you'd consider working on this machine if i brought it down to you? This is my first project beyond oil changes, and it's gotten way beyond what i feel i can just learn on the fly. That and i don't have much more that a wrench...

That sounds interesting, whats the purpose? just curious :) Sorry i dont know very much about hydraulics, but i don't see why you couldn't tap into it anywhere.. just figure out which is in and which is out.. thats just a guess though, sorry :)

Damn, was hoping to fix this thing myself. obviously its gotten out of my realm though. Should i bring it to a kubota dealership? or a special diesel engine repair shop? any idea roughly how costly this could get? Thanks.

wups, added now. thanks.

Progress made: found another problem. 1 step forward, 2 back? I took the valve cover off (or whatever its called) the top cover :). It revealed the valves, two sets out of three are quite scorched, and one rod is bent as well as you can see in the attached picture. I guess ill tackle it this...

Ed, I see your another hurtin' albertan haha. Thank you for the manual, i was going to buy one of these on ebay but they were too expensive. It will be very helpful again and again im sure. Attached is a picture from the WSM, showing how to calibrate the gears. However, this is precisely what i...

Yeah, it was a mark for sure. It was even painted yellow lol (the only one painted). I'm probably going to tackle this thing again today.. when i put the newgasket on, i rtv'd (permatex ultra copper) both sides with as thin a layer as possible. That gasket is probably unusable now huh? do...

Eserv, I feel like a real dope now. Its beginning to make sense, what is the purpose of having these marks all over the idler gear then, if not to calibrate the gears to it (this is what ive been doing wrong all along?) or is it that i dont understand how the calibration works? are the dots...

I didn't follow the TDC instructions given to me by birddogger (stupidly), because everything had dots on it, so i thought i could simply line them all up. the idler gear has one dot on it, as does the crank, so i put the cranks dot at 12 o'clock, and the idlers at 6 o'clock so that they were...
