Well, I finally split my tractor tonight…and found at least one pressure plate finger snapped and bound up the flywheel, which locked up the crank. The crank turns now. Whew! Gonna replace the clutch, P plate, TO bearing, pilot bushing, and perhaps have the flywheel turned. Wish me luck!

Jim,, My loader is controlled by the fuel cam. But Northern Idaho Wolfman mentioned there’s a slight possibility it is locked up.

Northern Idaho Wolfman, Thank you for your reply. My son and I just took the head off, and carefully pulled the injector pump along with the front plate at the end of the fuel cam shaft. Like you indicated, it looked great. No metal pieces, no marks on the gears…clean as a whistle. Valves...

Bill, Thanks for the reply. I removed the belt, so nothing (ie water pump) else can influence the crank rotation. I do have the shop service manual. I’m gonna see how the injector pump is activated. Not sure if it has a timing chain or gear to gear connection with the crank. As I am...

I did not depress the clutch while trying to turn the crank, but your edit makes sense. Regardless, I’m gonna try it with clutch depressed. Thanks for your input.

I posted "flywheel seized" last week. Suggestions were made to check the crank, so I strapped the crank pully...it would not budge. As I stated in my first post, I recently purchased a B7100D. I replaced every fluid, it did not burn oil and the radiator stays full. I put about 36 hours on it...

yes and at the correct level too. I am going to try turning the crank this weekend. Thanks for the reply.

Before I try turning the crank, does the diesel motor need to be decompressed? Kinda like removing a spark plug or two on a gas motor/ EDIT: Mark, never mind my question. I found a thread that said if my B7100D doesn't have a decompression lever, just crack the injectors open.

Thank you for the reply. I will give that a try. I think it has a front PTO, can I try to spin it there?

Recently purchased a B7100D. I replaced every fluid, it does not burn oil and the radiator stays full. I put about 36 hours on it. I was back-dragging sand in low, just crawling along. Heard a loud "snap" that appeared to come from the front right side of the engine. But I had hearing...

That's piece of history!

3’ in Troy! Wow! It’s been about 20 years since I’ve been to Troy. The day/night before we moved after graduating from UofI, it snowed about 30” from Moscow to the top of the canyon above Lewiston. The only white stuff on the ground here is sand 😝🤣🤣

About 2800 miles away. It was time for a change. The first “winter” we were here, I had a panic attack because I forgot to winterize the RV! Then it hit me!

Apparently a lot of folks throw that little fitting away, not knowing it's in the box. Customer service gave me the heads up. My son said the same about JIC. If it's any thing like my other project (1954 Chevy 1/2 ton onto an S10 frame and the brakes fittings), I never order fittings...

That is music to my ears. In a week, a few dump loads of shell sand is being delivered to maintain our narrow, 1/4 mile private road. It will get a work out for sure. Thank you for replying.

Jerry, I ordered the manuals tonight. Thanks for the suggestion. Regarding the slobber, I didn't think it was oil. While talking to the owner, I got the feeling he didn't work it at high RPMs much. When I get my fix-it list finished, I will work it at higher RPMs, like my 7.3l F250. I keep...

Correct about the PB. According to the control description, this model has a "high pressure carry over fitting" for the PB port. Thanks for the diagram! I found diagrams for just about everything on that web site. Very helpful.

Dan, No doubt it’s seen better days. But, I think you’re right about nothing major. A tractor with a FEL in better shape was way out of my budget. I’m a DIYer so I think this orange tractor has potential. So far, through Amazon, I ordered a Prince Control valve MB21BB5C1. From Surplus...

Hello, I bought a B7100D with a 1630 FEL, 5’ rake, and finish mower for $4300. Before we paid the seller, everything functioned except the instruments and the 3pt lever was seized. After we got home, I changed every fluid and spin on filters. The tranny/hyd fluid was milky at initial fluid...
