Got it apart this morning, last night before I left the shop I soaked down the gasket area with penetrating fluid. Not sure if that made the difference or not but I figure it didn't hurt. Expected carnage was found, thankfully damage appears to be isolated to the front drive shift fork and...

Bottom center nut is indeed removed. It's just stuck tight.

True! Generally everything gets a hotsy bath before coming in the shop, this one missed the bath as it was well below freezing and the front axle was locked up.

Hi, I have a B1550 with gear transmission. I need to remove the transmission to replace the 2wd/4wd shift fork and am having trouble separating the transmission from the differential housing. Transmission has been disconnected/separated on the front already. Per the workshop manual I...

Thanks for all the help everyone! I feel like I have a pretty good handle on the injection pump removal process. I'm ordering a new lift pump and gaskets this afternoon in the off chance that it's my problem. If I still have the fuel in oil problem after I replace it I'll likely be back with...

Well right now I have a new lift pump on order (only $4 more for the entire pump vs. the diaphragm alone!). Once the new pump is installed I'll run it and keep a close eye on the oil level. If I see it rising I'll pull the injection pump. I have a few shops I've worked with before that I'll be...

The fuel lift pump is disassembled. I don't see any areas where the diaphragm would be obviously leaking but it is cracked on the edge so I'll replace it for peace of mind. On the injection pump, looking it my parts book it appears the pump is driven by the fuel camshaft and is bolted to the...

The lift pump is off. I opened in up and see some minor cracking on the outer edge of the rubber diaphragm. It doesn't appear that any of the cracks extend to the area where it is driven but I'm inclined to replace the pump anyway, change the oil and see if my situation improves. If I see fuel...

Well I did a little looking online and it appears the tractor has a cam driven lift pump. I'll run down to the shop in a few to confirm but assuming the internet is correct I'll start by pulling the lift pump. -Cheers

Thanks for the reply. Not what I wanted to hear but about what I expected unfortunately! I had an issue on another tractor dumping fuel in the oil through a blown out cam driven lift pump. How is the lift pump on the 7200 driven? If the lift pump is a possibility I'd like to start there as it...

Hello Everyone, I believe I have an issue with fuel getting into the oil on my B7200. I say believe only because I'm sick with a cold and can't smell anything, the oil level on the dipstick is very high and when I passed the dipstick around other people were able to confirm it smelled like...

Well from the latest test it's looking like the pump is the culprit. I don't have the book handy to check system pressure but I have ~1500PSI on first start when the system is cold, ~1,000PSI for the next few minutes, and then it drops to ~650PSI at wide open throttle after it has been running...

The lift piston rings were replaced less than two years ago when I had this part of the tractor apart for the first time. Hopefully they're not the problem but if everything else checks out I'll check them. Re: the bypass valve under the seat. Is this the load descent speed valve? If not then...

Okay, just to ensure I'm barking up the right tree I completely disconnected the hydraulics to the loader and switched the valve so all flow is going directly from the pressure side of the pump to the three point valve. I did not notice any change in behavior when I did this. The tractor had...
