Thanks JohnDB, agreed about how good and helpful people are to share information on this forum. Our model of tractor must be so rare they belong in museums, either that or hardly any ever break down:LOL:

JohnDb is a bit of an expert with these tractors. 😁 He won't like me saying that but he has helped me a great deal in the past🙂

Okay, you need to know the battery is a good battery first, charge it or use another battery. Battery needs a load test not voltage tester to see if a cell is gone or it needs charge. What is the voltage across the battery terminals.? A good one should be about 12.6-12.7 volts. You said you...

Wolfman has good advice check all terminals are clean, if you have a meter then check voltage, or better battery load tester. Battery can show full voltage and still be stuffed, it needs load test to eliminate it or use another good battery, does the solenoid get hot or just nothing except the...

Hi did the procedure not work for your linkage?

Yes that is correct. If your linkage worked then I would think it is an airlock. I would assume all the tractors would be the same:) Make sure you are higher with the transmission. It needs to be pretty steep, but as soon as your high enough it should work. I tried putting oil back through the...

Did the 3 point linkage work before you did the overhaul? I know mine was definately working before I changed the transmisson oil so I realised that it would be an airlock. The oil just keeps going back in the transmission so the filter can not fill up. It looks like a weird setup if you ask...

Thanks, when i got it running on 5 then number 1 primed itself.

I thought the same beacuse there seemed to be bubbles come out of number two when I stopped cranking. Its unusual that it does this #1 did pump a tiny bit at one time. Logical thinking would tend to give you the assumption of pressure from the fuel feed pump would prime the lot if 3-6 was...

Will do, I would think it has gummed up from dried diesel rather than something gone wrong. It was working fine but I stored it away in a plastic bag for nearly two years come to think of it. Unless a piece of crap went through it from the new fuel pump. It had cover plugs on it but In hinds...

No worries with not putting sealant on. I was worried it might affect the micron thickness so didnt do it. I can only see it stopping oil leaks, which a bit of doesnt bother me. Is there any point running an additive through it? Usually these miracle cures dont work and are a waste of money.

I thought this also but manual says apply three bond

If its plugged up would it free up when running, or unlikely? You said 100% one or the other. I can see if something is wrong with it then $$$ This tractor maybe not worth spending any more on it, count my losses and run it if it works, if it doesnt, well....... there arent many of these in...

Thanks. Engine is full of oil. When I said the block I meant the whole engine is together without pulley or anything in front of the gear case(front wheels aren't on yet either) just explaining why I cant run it without coolant, although it could run for a very short time. I put asssembly lube...

I have a M4500DT. I have been replacing rings etc in the engine, so I havent put the front on yet. Radiator not on yet or power steering etc. Its just the block on the tractor. I decided to compression test it before complete assembly. Also I have connected the injector pump and lines to the...

Big help, Thanks

Thanks Wolfman is the M4050 the same also?

Before I bought my tractor an M4500DT someone must have run it in to a tree or something, they replaced the radiator and hammered out the front bonnet panel, but there is no front panel radiator grill with the lights etc. There is a wrecker with fair quality parts off a M4500 which says "low...

Thanks Russell after they have been seated in for a while they seem to be firm so I wont need to put anything on them. The recess they are in are a right angle cut circle. I panicked at first because they didnt seem to want to fit in. Because its square cut they wont want to pop out. Now I would...

Thanks for your post. I am convinced these are the correct size O-rings
