On my Nortrac 254 the previous owner put an inline filter between the sediment bowl and the spin on filter. It is one of the inexpensive clear plastic ones. I replace it once a year with a Wix replacement. I know it works be cause I have had problems with the tractor losing power and seeing low...

Just an update. I got it all back together and everything seems to work fine. Attached are a few more photos. It wasn’t too bad but I hope I don’t have to do it again. I appreciate everyone’s assistance!

This is great! What does the UNC and NL and L mean?

All likely causes..... does anyone know the general torque specs of an M8 x 25MM 10.9 bolt? After looking at the diagrams I also realized there are only four bolts holding the ring gear on. The other two are actually pins. One pin is longer than the other. I assume I can figure out which one...

Yeah. I guess there is a little bit. I figured it would be fine for a 14 year old low use, low speed tractor. I would definitely welcome any insight on on resetting the ring gear and pinion. I marked the the big collars on the sides before I “unscrewed” them but I am not sure that will be...

Here is a few more photos

No. Luckily nothing else got chewed up;). I think what you are seeing in the photo is the lock retainers that go around the 4 of the 6 bolts that got sheared off. They are just thin metal but are mangled pretty good. In searching all the posts this I didn't see any other references to the...

So I had time today to dig into the tractor It was pretty easy to remove the front axle. Four big bolts. Two in front of the differential and two behind. Disconnect the steering knuckle on the left side and two people can roll the axle out. I popped the cover on top of the axle and quickly saw...

Appreciate the advice piper184. I don’t think it is in the drive shaft but I guess it is possible. The popular break, behind the drive shaft engagement balls, seems to be an axle shaft. With a broken shaft wouldn’t you still have power being sent to the unbroken side?

Thanks. To answer your questions… either front wheel raised in 4wd and in gear either front wheel will turn. The drive shaft will “jump” but does not turn. The front drive shaft will not turn with all 4 wheels on the ground.

Thanks. With all 4 wheels on the ground, the fronts are not spinning in 4WD. I was stuck in dirt at the time of the original clunk and the 4wd was not working. Yes, in the air I can stop both tires from spinning with my hands. If I release them they start turning again. I don't think there is...

2008 Nortrac 254. I was admittedly overtasking my tractor digging with the FEL in 4wd when I heard a "clunk" and lost my 4WD. It was my own fault but now I need to figure what is wrong. I need some help. Here is what I have done. I was hoping it was the drive shaft or a universal slipping. But...

I got the courage to pry a little harder and was able to walk the cylinder out, just like the photos above show. The o-ring came out with a tear in it so I hope a new one will fix the leak. To answer your question, mine is leaking between the cap and tank. The adjustment screw is not leaking...

Appreciate it piper184! I did find the below direction on this thread 3-Point Hitch - Farm Pro (Jinma) 2425 hitch will not stay up .It seems like the piston should just pull out but it doesn't seem to want to. Hopefully someone who has done it before will chime in and give me the courage to pry...

I have a leak between the flow control valve (the valve with the big adjustment knob on it underneath the seat) and the housing it mounts to. In looking at the parts diagram it looks like there is an oil seal there. I removed the four bolts from the flow control valve and it only slid forward...

Nortrac 254. Probably a silly question but how are the screw-in dipsticks for the front axle, transmission...etc meant to be read? Do you screw them all them all the way in to read or just stick them in to the top of the first thread?

I pulled my dipstick out today and oil ran out of the filler tube. It wasn稚 like this a few months ago the last time I checked it. Any idea where the problem would be? Thanks in advance!

I just purchased a 2008. What does the B mean?
