    Cracked block - fixable?

    I would not cut a groove. The rough crack has best adhesion for the glue against pressure from inside. Clean everything meticulously, brake cleaner may work well here. And then heat everything if you can. Epoxy glue get very soft then and creeps into the gap.

    If the ECUs and sensors are ok a CAN communication fault is due to cabling and connectors.

    Cracked block - fixable?

    Well, we had that subject a while ago: Link fixing hole in side of the block , not to be taken too seriously. If it was frost damage there could be more than just this crack in the block. But if you want to risk the rest of the engine you can try JB weld, as Joe Smith used in the thread above.

    B2250 Trans. site glass.

    You are not the first person having this problem. You can try to jack up the tractor a bit to see the surface level. A good few members added colouring to the almost clear oil. Use the search function to find recommendations.

    Aftermarket filters

    Check service kits. I got one for my Kubota and it was way cheaper than buying individual filters. All filters required are in those service kits.

    Loud whistling sound when firing up new MX4900

    HST pump so. With my extremely limited knowledge of the drive system I would say nothing to worry about. And you wrote already, once the oil is warm, the noise disappears.

    Hydraulic fun

    You probably done that already, but every implement you used would have water in the oil too, so you have to remove that too. Otherwise as soon as you connect it to the tractor hydraulics some water is back in the hydraulic oil. And where is the water coming in the first place?

    How not to kill a high pressure / common rail / modern ECU controlled diesel engine

    Thank you very much for sharing this ! There is a lot to be said for modern Diesel engines in terms of effiency and emissions but considering all the points above I will stay with old style mechanical injection pump pre-chamber engines, also in my cars. And no electronics rubbish to be...

    Clock spring on a Bx23s

    The power levels of inductive hobs are another order of magnitude compared to mobile phones. Also a different frequency range. And microwave ovens are on 2.4GHz which is the best absorbtion of water or human tissue. I would not stand in front of a microwave oven. A simple test for the...

    You can’t spell “idiot” with out “I"

    You put the verniers over a bolt diameter and set them to 0. Then you put them across two neighbouring bolts and you get the bolt centre distance a. n equals 5 in your case and with equation 4 you can get the hole circle radius R.

    Clock spring on a Bx23s

    I agree that this means of energy transmission would work. But personally I would not like to have high frequency, high power electromagnetic fields near my body. There is not much solid scientific research in that direction available and I would rather stay on the safe side and avoid that.

    I think I saw CAN communication errors when parts of the CAN system were not powered. Check all fuses.

    Clock spring on a Bx23s

    I would not see that as so pessimistic. Two copper rings attached over the hub of the wheel and a brush holder from an alternator would do the trick with very little effort.
