That's what I think, too. Suction air leak just as and where RJ says. Bubble is pulled in and then rises to the fuel filter where the bubble eventually displaces all the incoming fuel. Often no fuel leak shows in a suction leak. Good culprits are bad connection or old hose - especially if a hose...

I think they are designed to go quite a bitn farther than that many hours, but have to say that I cannot think of a single homeowner/small acreage tractor that I have seen with over 2500 hours. Lots with 1500, so maybe it just takes time. Now for Ag and construction equipment, 2000 hrs is...

I'd look at the suction line from the sump to the pump. Hoses and connection, including the line to and from the screw on filter. Sounds like that is where it is. Even if a suction hose looks good, old ones will leak air and cavitate the pump. The "loader valve" usually means the Front End...

That's funny twice. Thanks for posting it.

Let us know what worked. Here is a synopsis that may help. Whether you call them generators, dynamos, or alternators is purely regional preference. They all do the same thing; they rotate and put out AC at a higher AC voltage than the battery needs for charging. After the AC voltage is...

Is it in nice shape? If so, then that is a "no brainer"- but only IF you are comfortable with a foot-clutched tractor. I think you will find that you do no do much shifting. A lot of tractor work is done in one speed range. A simple pre-emissions controlled tractor with that proven engine and...

What? Why? That doesn't make any sense. I think it makes more sense to leave the Yanmar thread where it is. Is it possible that your search has some references crossed with Int. Harvesters?

I think I agree with Winston here. At any rate, it would be simple to test and find out. Simply install the headless plug, and then install a hose loop from the primary A to B ports as shown. Then see if the 3pt will work. If it does, then all that is required is that your backhoe also have a...

BTW, Winston...didn't you and I work on accessory hydraulics on a 276 at least once before? I've got an old file with this jpg in it - and also some other shots plus a portion of a workshop manual. rScotty

Like Winston says, you need to re-write your "hear me out" message. I also am mystified why you keep saying "PTO" (power take off - typically 540 rpm) instead of 3pt lift and wonder if we are missing someting. Your backhoe control valve rack will have one outlet for return flow from cylinders...

I don't understand that comment. JD commercial equipment (yellow paint) uses motor oil in their hydraulic system. And 0W-20 is a common engine oil spec these days. What's the point?

Yes. The transmission case is also the sump. The same fluid is used for all the hydraulic functions.

Look at the photo you posted. It looks like only one end of the sway controls is threaded out. The threaded parts should be equal. You have more adjustment not being used.

True, but the problem becomes how a charge takes to dissipate. If you present a better path - like a metal nozzle - you can get a static spark immediately. Although I grant that if you took the time to wait long enough that same charge will will dissipate along the surface of a tire or into the...

What did you decide? You know it has to have new rims and tires all around & can get those costs easily at the tire shop. Rust on exterior cast iron surfaces won't hurt anything, though it sure is a pain to clean off and paint. I think you are right to focus on the sealing surfaces - at...
