Interesting article about diagnosing engine noises, with references to effect of temperature, load and speed, probably the most thoughtful I've found: https://cat-engines.blogspot.com/2017/10/basic-engines-evaluating-engine-noise.html If no stethoscope, suggests long thin screwdriver or piece...

I've never seen a fuel injector return line routing diagram. The last part of the return line runs from the #6 injector to a barbed fitting on top of the fuel tank.

Welcome Richard. Hope this helps.

Fleetguard/Cummins is putting on some filtration and coolant webinars this month. I respect the brand (along with only a couple of others) and would attend but for the timezone difference...

I was intrigued by the concept, but Google doesn't show up any answers for me. Possibly a persuasive designer or marketer had a wonderful idea and then Kubota quickly discovered customers didn't like it. If I understand your description correctly, forward gives you lower or dump - depending...

Are the lift cylinders single acting? The loader on my tractor comes down really fast, and it won't lift front tires off the ground. The lift cylinders are single acting.

It will be great to see the picture. I'm curious about why you see the front diff lock as a very important feature. Rear diff lock yes, but front... not so much in my experience. By the time 2 rear and one front wheel have lost traction, a 4th front wheel doesn't make much difference. I...

Here's a pic from the parts manual. If you think the lever would stick out a long way and catch on things, you're right. So if there's just a stub of a shaft sticking out of the rhs of your diff housing, someone probably took the lever off to avoid catching on stuff. On single PTO speed...

Welcome to OTT, I hope you enjoy your tractor :-) In addition to the levers mentioned in wgator's post, some M4500s had a 2-speed PTO. The shift lever for that isn't shown in the ops manual, but it's on the right-hand side of the transmission, behind the operators seat. Can't send you a photo...

Your point about the PTO clutch adjustment could be valid, I haven't come across an adjustment process for the PTO clutch. These tractors have a lever for the PTO clutch, they don't use a 2 stage clutch pedal.

A couple of questions not really related to the subject line, you may be better starting new threads on each. But here's a couple of starters: 1. Ground speed PTO: probably a silly question, but that's me... :-) how to you know that the ground speed PTO isn't working? 2. Clutch: on mine, if...

While it's not your model of tractor it seems others have had similar problem, if you look at these threads you might find a solution or 2 worth trying: https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/l345dt-hydraulic-problem.53168/#post-485248...

No luck, 2 dealers I have tried say they can't retrieve anything that old, one of them spent time rummaging through stuff for about 10 minutes while I waited and couldn't find anything. Not surprising I suppose.

Feral tractor? Full moon at the time?

Motor graders have a long wheelbase for a reason... :-)

Nice one! Will it bale silage also?

Ciao Ricardo, benvenuto nel forum. Hi Ricardo, welcome to the forum. Probabilmente otterrai una risposta migliore se utilizzi Google translate per porre la tua domanda. Sembra funzionare abbastanza bene quando traduco manuali di manutenzione dal francese all'inglese, quindi anche l'italiano...

The M4500 has heel pedal to lock the front diff, beside the pedal to lock the rear, a bit like independent brakes - you can hit one or the other or both at the same time. A feature on a 50 year old tractor, good to know that things have progessed since then!

Probably built on a Monday or a Friday.

Not familiar with your pump, but thinking about my jet pump, does your have a low water level cutout? Or what happens if inlet is restricted and it is starved?
