Hey Gruts - I am assuming that you shut down pretty quick and thus didn't see where the oil was being sprayed from. If that's true, I'd get a helper, fire up the machine (ready to shut down quickly) and see what you can see. Caution is advised because the fluid can come out under a lot of...

I'd like to add that hot water works well too for stubborn areas. I added a hot water outlet specifically for this purpose. Goodluck

Be very careful taking out the glow plugs. If corroded, they easily snap right off. Yep - it happened to me. I hope that is the starting problem - a relatively easy fix, @Russell King mentioned in the startup video you did, that it looks like maybe a cylinder is late to the party. It appears...

Have you checked the injectors? The injectors are very easy to take apart and clean. A problem with something downstream such as fuel filter, water in diesel could also be the issue. Is the battery able to spin the engine over quickly...

Thanks @Stacy73 ! I'm glad you're back to work with the L35.

Wow! Goodluck to you.

I wonder if there is water in the tank that has made its way into the injectors (from either or both contamination or condensation). Maybe check the fuel filter for signs of water. I'm not familiar with Delta diesel - is that a brand name?

The break is remarkably straight! Welding will repair that however I would carefully inspect the interior. The metal reinforcements should be cut to ensure proper overlap and yet look good once painted. Goodluck with it.

Hi all Neil Messick has a new video about a 2-piece cooling fan that makes replacement much simpler. For those operating BX machines this seems like a great idea. Y'all might want to check your fan to see it's operating properly and undamaged.

Needle Scaler. Wen's tiny sander Next project is the restoration and derusting of the front of the tractor, where the steering cylinder and hydraulic pump are.

COMPLETING Work on the Backhoe... Finally at the "end" of the journey. I say "end" only for the title of the thread since I still have some further tractor work to do. Yesterday, the front of the BH received it's paint and is ready for the release levers and such. But I'll end this thread...

Hi Dan! It's kinda crowded in the living room...

MEANTIME...moving along with the project... I've got the BH parts powdercoated and ready for install, but that darn "life thing" happened again. Fall brings leaves and dead batteries in cars and Dr. appointments! I've been delayed a bit while replacing the battery in my wife's car and blowing...

As I am working thru rust repair on my L35 TLB, I found this article from Eastwood and I thought I'd pass it on. For those that might be new to the forum, my current project is https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/l35-bt900-separation-and-derusting.77280/ I have used this...

I missed this!! Great job! @PoTreeBoy
