Lots of suspects: low coolant level, stuck thermostat, loose fan belt, dirty radiator-air side, scale build up on core-coolant side, eroded impeller on water pump, bad rad cap, lower hose collapsing at high rpm operation, dirty airfilter,.....

Mike, I was just trying to explain some thing technical that the other poster took issue with. I hope it came across as rational and informative and not as any type of put down. I certainly didn't mean it to be. Since I'm neither a chick nor a redhead, your bar money is safe!(grin).

This is clearly a fluid dynamic issue not a gas law issue. When someone says "gas law" to me I think of the equation of state, Boyles Law, etc which deal with gases that are not in motion at the macro level. Bernoulli's Equation is a relationship based on fluid in motion and not a "gas law", per...

Going down the road without the engine running is the case of trailering a tractor. New Holland's owners manual on my TD95D recommends taping or otherwise closing the exhaust pipe when trailering this tractor. When the engine stops invariably valves stay open allowing the pressure differential...

My NH TD95D has a turbo and the recommendation in the owners manual is to let it idle at 1200 rpm for one minute after full power operation to prevent turbine rubs since the outer case cools more quickly than the turbine wheel. I very seldom operate at full power but I let any engine idle, NA...

I accidently did that on our M4500 last year and blew a fuse. I replaced the fuse and all was well. Of course this is a less sophisticated machine than an L4310.

When you get it done, get a heavy roller and roll the small stuff in.

It sounds like you are using starting fluid to start the engine. That's a good way to break piston rings and damage the piston lands. If your engine is hard starting, make sure you have good fuel delivery to the pump and that your glow plugs are working. If you have good fuel delivery and the...

Thanks for posting this. I replaced the front and rear tires on our M4500 in December. While plowing snow I kept slipping-poor traction. I measured the tire pressure on the loaded rears and it was 27 psig. These are radials and they didn't have the characteristic bulge. I found the chart at the...

Most likely the water is from condensation and there is little you can do to prevent that unless you store it in a heated building. Look carefully on the gear box for a drain plug. It may be an NPT pipe plug or a bolt. Check the owners manual. Otherwise you'll have to use a suction gun ( looks...

You can't tell journal clearance by looking. Use some Plastigauge to see if the mains are within spec.

You said you replaced the rod bearings. Did you replace the main bearings also? The mains usually have pretty large journals so wear at that location can have a big effect on oil pressure. What about the oil pump,? They wear also. Could the relief valve be partially stuck open?

The usual culprits are: loose fan/water pump drive belt, bad radiator cap or wrong pressure rating, stuck thermostat, clogged rad air side passages, clogged rad coolant passages, lower hose collapsing at higher rpms, corroded impeller in water pump, clogged air filter, leaking head gasket.

+1 This is how I run our PHD on my Ford 4610 remotes. The PHD has a return line andis basically a single acting cylinder that raises the driver with the PHD control valve. I hook my PHD supply line to the remote port for my loader bucket curl and bungee it into that position.When you reverse...

The cause is fluid expansion due to temperature change. Loosen a fitting and relieve the pressure or build an expansion chamber- a piece of pipe with a quick disconnect female fitting to take the male ends of the grapple hoses.

You're right. I need to check the calibration for the TeeJet nozzles but my immediate problem is getting the speed set correctly and for that I need the engine rpm which was used to derive the chart. Thanks for the reminder.

When it blows black smoke and has no power and the air filter is clean. (grin)

You do nice work! looks good.

My rock bucket worked well. I disked the ground and there was dry soil and rocks so I was able to get into the dry soil/rocks and bring up the rocks but only rocks greater than ~3 inches stayed in the bucket. No special technique. It's just like using a loader bucket. I think the point the other...

I did a weigh calibration on my sprayer before I put it into service 12 tears ago so I know the flow from the boom. I just needed to get the speed correct and knowing the engine rpm that goes with the speed table I can scale the ground speed as a function of engine rpm.
