5415N appears to be incorrect model #

If you're getting oil in your radiator could be a head gasket.

You are referring to a JD? I was thinking engine oil in radiator caused by leaking engine oil cooler. PS: I knew your profile stated S Africa as your location & JD parts site is world wide.

Green paint with JD stickers on sold by JD agents.....looks to me with a Carraro gearbox.....all green.

Will test the oilcooler for leaks tomorrow.

 

[Tx Jim]

I wonder if it's a model 5415""H""?

 

[DLTTrekkers]

It is a N.....for narrow . The configeration is not in q.....problem with the engine . Please help me with that ?

Oilcooler test OK at 5bar pressure.

 

[Tx Jim]

Oilcooler test OK at 5bar pressure.

Then I'll 2nd what Shaneard stated about possible head gasket failure.

 

[DLTTrekkers]

Then there should be water in oil ?

Depends on where it blows and where the pressures are. Could possibly be a crack in the head or block as well, if it's near where oil pressure is, that is under more pressure than the coolant system and that's why it's not getting coolant in the oil.

Ditto leak could be leading to combustion chamber & coolant going out muffler

Now my big q ....anyone have expierence this in their life ?

 

[Bavarian]

Is it a wet sleeve engine? Could be a liner failure and leak oil into coolant. But that fast, quite unlikely.

 

[DLTTrekkers]

I ordered some parts and 1 off them came with a short bolt with lock-tite on it. Mybe that s my problem ?

 

[DLTTrekkers]

I went and tested this tractor this morning and no oilleak to the radiator.
I do beliefe that the locktite on that 2 short bolts did the trick.

Thanks for update. I'm glad you got it repaired.
