I ended up buying a brand new water pump. Installed it yesterday, filled up all the fluids and she started right up. Sounded Great as it was idling and then the radiator starts spewing. There is a crack up by the base of the cap. Does anyone know of an aftermarket or generic radiator that...
Well the saga continues. Took it out this weekend to do some work. It ran great but noticed I had a coolant leak. Turns out that this part is cracked. Does anyone know what part # this is? Is it specific to this engine or would I be able to go to any tractor dealer and get one?
Finally got it back together. After a few tweaks it started up and is running. I didn’t get the chance to do anything with it today but it sounds great.
It did. 4 cracks total. I was tilling my track and it just started boiling over. It looked like a steam engine. It had never run hot before that which was odd. I will post pictures when I get back from picking it up tomorrow.
Dropped the head off to a guy who was recommended by the dealer I bought it from. He is confident he can repair the cracks. Now I have to hunt down gaskets and a Thermostat. fingers still crossed but I am a more optimistic that the tractor will be useable again.
Aestral now you have me wondering. If I can somehow get someone to fix the cracks in the head or find a used one are there the parts available to put it back together? Gaskets, valves, etc?
Asteral thank you but I just got off the phone with Branson USA. The part # you list is for the Cummins A1700 and will not fit the 3T90L according to the gentleman I spoke to.
