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

Thanks guys! I was able to get all the parts cleaned and ready for powdercoating today. Even fought with a snapped bolt to round out the work :LOL: NC is still having nice days so trying to take advantage working the dirty stuff outside.

Thank you Russel! I've used EvapoRust for some time and I think it's great. I find that if I put small parts in a container with EvapoRust and then place the container into hot water, the heat makes it work faster. I use that technique with my Ultrasonic heater. I wish I'd known about products...

CONTINUING THE JOURNEY: Back with some info on the project. Unfortunately I was ill for a few days with a nasty stomach-thing. Wow! Here are a few pics of the completion thus far on the L35. The Rear Hub received 2 new studs. The old ones had a lot of thread ground off - I guess from bad...
