    B7100 Pilot Bushing Help - Grinding Gears

    Is power being transmitted from the flywheel to the transmission input shaft while the clutch pedal is fully pushed in? It sure sounds like it. Yes, there are two possible scenarios for this unwanted power transmission, 1 unwanted /un-intended contact of the clutch disc to flywheel or clutch...

    L3130 - suspected crankshaft damage - how to remove engine

    Update... Took the crank to Camrose Engine Rebuilders, the local shop that has been grinding cranks and building engines since the 1960's. Greg quick-looked at the crank, still concerned that the damage to the #1 crankpin journal is deeper than 16 thou. His crank grinding technician looked...

    L3130 - suspected crankshaft damage - how to remove engine

    Weld-and-Grind, a shop in Edmonton ballparks $2500 to build-up one journal then grind down all the journals. All-State Ag Parts shows what I need on their site, but a phone call and conversation with Jeff finds that my crank is not in-stock, no core on-hand to refurbish, so a strike-out there...

    L3130 - suspected crankshaft damage - how to remove engine

    Yes, the tractor is now "split", with a yard-sale of parts occupying shop space that is always at a premium. Around our farm, shop space is at greatest premium for harvest, which starts with preparing combines and headers and balers in July, and carries on with actual harvest. We want harvest...

    L3130 - suspected crankshaft damage - how to remove engine

    The rod bearing caps and shells on #2 and #3 just fell off with a gentle push of a finger after the bolts were out. The rod bearing cap on #1 came off real easy. The rod bearing shell was fused to the crank-pin. A small tap with the hammer - no chisel - cracked the shells free from the...

    L3130 - suspected crankshaft damage - how to remove engine

    Update.... WSM Downloaded, printed out, in binder in shop, now has greasy fingerprints all over it. The engine is so "tight" that the starter barely turns it. Cannot turn by hand using any means; chain wrench around fan-pulley, lever on flywheel teeth, etc. No solid evidence as to what is...

    PTO shaft stuck on tractor

    Is that push-pin release in the held-down position? If thats anything like the push-pins on PTO yokes I'm familiar with, they have to be pushed pretty much flush to release. One sure way to make sure that the push-pin is not locking the yoke on the pto shaft would be to remove the push-pin...

    L3130 - suspected crankshaft damage - how to remove engine

    L3130-HST. Back-story... there's always a back story. I've owned and (ab)used a B6200 hst for 25 years. Great piece of equipment. My brother purchased a half-section of farmland from an estate. Lock-stock-and barrel The late fellow was known to be somewhat odd, in that he never maintained...

    B6200 hydraulic pump removal

    1750 PSI? Yes, my pump is worn. No argument there. It still works, and the somewhat limited max-pressure has the added side benefit of preventing me from over-lifting with the loader. The loader still lifts a bucket full of 3/4-crush gravel. So as long as adequate loader and 3pt lift...

    B2301 Block Heater

    I presume you are intending to use a "frost plug" type. "Frost plug" is a bit of a misnomer, the plugs are actually used in the block-casting process, and if your cooling system was full of water and you freeze-thaw it a few times, the block will still crack. Back in the really old days of...

    B6200 hydraulic pump removal

    How weak is weak? How slow is slow? My B6200 HST guages at only 1750 psi with cool oil, but hydraulics are strong enough that when I put the bucket-edge of the loader under a too-big rock and lift, the rear wheels come off the ground - no rear ballast though. If I mount the Muratori tiller...
