    Need Help with Electrical problem.

    Wolfman The problem only occurs when pre heating and not every time. I tested the wires individually. As everything is apart I will have to plug things back in to do the ohms testing as you suggest, why didn't I think of that.:confused: With a ghost problem, I learned long ago to check...

    Help Needed for Snow Blower Use

    NEVER NEVER put your hand in the discharge chute or auger with the tractor running. If it jams up, shut the tractor off and use a piece of wood to clean it out, do not put your hand inside it. I have a friend who is missing his left arm just below the elbow who can tell you in great detail why...

    Need Help with Electrical problem.

    I had planned on rewiring the whole tractor this past summer, all wiring, fuse block alternator etc but time and money have conspired against me as well as a new clutch, rear diff and other parts. Now shooting for this coming summer. Thanks for the help.

    Need Help with Electrical problem.

    85hokey "I know this might be a crazy thought" I am open to crazy thoughts as I have exhausted all of the sane ones I could think of. It's the type that burns and you must replace it. I have to replace the plastic connector as it is half melted and brittle. (see attached photo - 4 in line)...

    Need Help with Electrical problem.

    Never thought I would be asking for help with an electrical problem because I am “usually” pretty good at chasing them down. Just to keep it interesting, it is an intermittent problem. Sometimes when I use the glow plugs the connection where the fusible link is connected to gets hot enough to...

    D950 oil pump lifespan? (B7200 HST-D)

    In the early 1980's I had an oil pump fail on me with less than 500 hrs on the machine. They can and do fail. Like others have said, I would not risk all the money and time you have put into the rebuild on the condition of an unknown oil pump. Just my two cents.:)

    Expensive Cheap Parts Lesson

    I wondered why it was raining Smurfs.;) I learned the difference between rebuilt and re-manufactured a long time ago, also with a water pump. Took out the alternator, battery, heater and rad hoses. also put some beauty bumps in the hood. Oh yeah, I got the rebuilt water pump from Napa also.

    resurfacing flywheel mm reference values

    I am working on wiring issues right now so the clutch has not been tested under a load yet but am 99.9% sure that everything is OK. The problem: The release levers were to far down in the center of the clutch assembly and were bottoming out before the second stage could be released and with...
