No cross hatching in the cylinder. 300# seems about right.

I guess I'll never understand why someone would "chisel out" the liners, when they are taking the block into the machine shop to have new liners pressed in. The shop has to set up on each cylinder, and would be little effort to press out the old ones at that time.

Greg owns property next to my hunting property, and has a nice shop with 2 of the lifts in it. His caretaker allows me use of it at any time, so so far, I haven't seen fit to install my own. If he wasn't such a good close neighbor, I certainly would be installing my own.

Boy, talk about off topic.

That post was 3 1/2 years ago, and he hasn't been on the forum since. Probably not going to get an answer from him.

It seems to me, many of you didn't read the op. It is a marine application engine that he was rebuilding. Unless I'm missing something, he was already rebuilding it, and secondly, no getting the tractor back in service before spring. If it was me, and I am understanding op's situation, I would...

bentbucket, this thread is over 11 years old.

My L2850 has a V1702 DI engine. Some skid steers used that engine with the idi system.

Heat, cherry red if necessary. The case around the plug/vent, as you want expansion there, not the plug itself.

No sealant needed on intake gasket. I ran a compression check on my v1702 di this spring, and replacement intake gasket is quite thick, and seals easy.

Not sure why anyone would think his posts are spam. Well thought out approach to fixing a problem, with a promise to follow up with results.

At all the many forums I am a member of, and the ones I modded on, OP's responses towards a respected mod here, would quickly get either a time out or a ban. As has been mentioned, one can only imagine how the interaction with the dealer has evolved. I'm not up on the new tractor emission laws...

I would wager more are having problems. Small percent of owners who go to websites to post.

Don't know about other models, but removing line at injector, loosening at injector pump and turning it 180°. Retighten at pump. Of course I had to remove intake manifold but that was simple enough.

Wow, I'm sure glad I have "better" friends than those on here. We, all do for each other. I may have better and more equipment, but they bring skill sets that can make up for it. And most are respectfully and competent with equipment. Then again, in my 70 years, these are the type of people I...

My tractors were made to work, and get dirty. I suppose the first scratch might be bothersome, but I use them and expect if I let someone else borrow them, they will use them. Shiny paint doesn't make them perform better. If they come back broke, then I would expect the user to fix, or at least pay.

Nice work up NIW. Above and beyond to help.

If it is a gear transmission,it may be stuck in 2 gears at once. I'm not sure Kubota's can have this happen. MF, and Fords certainly can, when the linkage gets worn, and the shift forks jump out of their slots.

It takes 4 times the oxygen to use with propane than it does acetylene. I've had the same tank of acetylene for 10 years, so not sure about the cost, as it lasts a long time for my hobbyist work.
