7265 Questions

farmer_74 · Sep 21, 2004

Hello all,
I just purchased a used 7265 with no manuals, so I have a few questions that I hope some of you can answer.

1) The glow plugs do not seem to be working. Does outside temperature effect the glow plugs( ie, do they only work at below a certain temp?) If not, can you give me some advice on what the problem may be.

2)Does anyone know what the Napa crossover #s for the filters are? If not, then what are the oem #s for the filters.

3)What weight motor oil does it take. I think 15W40 but not sure.

4) what is the motor oil capacity?

I will stop there. I think I could keep going for awhile but these are the most important questions for now. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Thanks,

Kevin

Congrts on your new best friend. I hope these answers help you get started. I have spent many hours looking for crossref numbers on these filters and no luck. These are the oem #'s 10310511200 air $75.00, MM409892 fuel $11.00, 31A40-02100 oil $16.00, 19642509000 hydr $42.95, 19632558000 hydrostatic $35.95. You can find a oil filter and save 6 dollars but the rest are a well kept secret. 5 quarts of oil for engine. If it is starting glow plugs should be working (indirect injection). Check bulb. Your local dealer can order you a owners manuel. Enjoy your purchase.

Thanks for the filter #'s.
I have checked the bulb and it is fine. Should the glow plug light come on when I turn the key on? I assume that the light should come on and go off to signal that it is ready to crank. Is this correct?
Thanks,
Kevin

I have the 7260, which is the gear version of yours. Turn the key to the right one notch. (right before the starter engages). There should be a yellow light on the right side of the dash that comes on for about 3-4 seconds. Once that light goes out, you can crank the starter. Do your gauges work? There is a fuse box under the hood. You can also put a voltmeter on the switched lead and see if there is juice there with the key on.

On both my 7265 and 7360ss the glow plug lights go and off a little crazy. Sometimes the bulb doesn't light cold, sometimes it comes on when I have been using it 4 hrs. Contacted the dealer and read owners manuel and best think to do is "every time you go to start the tractor turn the key to on wait 3-4 seconds and start the tractor". Sometimes the light is off, sometimes it goes off, and sometimes it stays on for a while. The 7265 & 7360SS only have the one orange light ref. to glow plugs. If it is starting ok, "let a sleeping dog lay."

" let a sleeping dog lay" Ha!! Yeah right! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif My moto is "If it ain't broke, fix it until it is broke" /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Seriously though, the reason I am concerned is because the light has never came on and this thing pours out the white smoke( unburned fuel) when I start it up. I checked the voltage at the switch and it is fine. On the other hand when I checked the voltage at the fuse box I didn't get anything. I was thinking maybe the outside temp might have something to do with it. I guess I'll find out this winter, huh?

I have a 7360ss, and my glow plug light seems to be sensitive to outside temp. During the summer, I don't see the light. I just wait the 5 seconds and start it. During the winter, I wait till the light goes out. So, just wait for a cold night and try it.

Temperature effects glow plugs. I didn't think an indirect injection diesel would start without preheaters. 7265's are indirect injection. I asked the dealer about the glow plugs coming on and off and I was told what I stated earlier. I will check the manuel and see what it says about power to the glow plugs and dash bulb.

You don't need glow plugs when it is this warm.

I was just at my local napa. They had the oil and hydraulic filters for the 7265 listed in their book. No listing for my 7305 though...

farmer_74 · Sep 25, 2004

Did you by chance write down those numbers? My local Napa wasn't able to cross them over in their books.

sreeb · Sep 26, 2004

I didn't write them down. From your mention of "cross reference", I wonder if you are trying to match filter numbers? My NAPA had a book, this wasn't on their computer, that had applications for tractors. I'm not sure if the whole book or just the section we were looking in was tractor filters. Look under Cub Cadet. I think there were around 70 models listed but only a couple in the 7000 series.

It sounds like some NAPA dealers are more effective than others. Next time I am there, I will try to get a copy of the page. It will be at least a few weeks though since I am about to head out on vacation.

Thanks Ed,
The books that the Napa stores around here have only list a few 7000 series also, but none of them are the 7265. I think it listed the 7275 but I'm not sure if the filters are the same. Maybe the Napa stores in CA. have access to more OEM crossovers than we do here in TN. Have a nice vacation.

Framer 74, I was thinking about if you have had any starting problems when I went out last night to bring in some wood for the stove. It was not frost but in the 30's. Have you solved the "glow plug light" yet?

farmer_74 · Oct 13, 2004

Hey Chubby,
I haven't had time to solve it yet. I ordered a service manual for it but it is useless for glowplug issues. My light never comes on and the tractor smokes like crazy for the first minute or two until it warms up. The temps here are still in the 70s so I am waiting to see if the glowplug light comes on when it gets colder. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Ledgemere Farm · Oct 13, 2004

That's odd. The glowplug light on my 7260 comes on whether it's 70 or -10. I haven't noticed any smoke either, but a smoking diesel in startup is not too uncommon I don't think. what color is the smoke by the way?

farmer_74 · Oct 13, 2004

It's pretty much a grayish black smoke ( I think). I have a feeling that the glowplugs aren't working. Does anyone know what the voltage reading at the glow plugs should be when the key is turned on?

Ledgemere Farm · Oct 13, 2004

That color should be OK. You can call your CC dealer about the voltage. I have called mine before and spoken with a tech free of charge.
Good luck!

rims421 · Oct 25, 2004

The voltage at the glow plugs on my 7275 is around 10-11 volts.
The sure way to test the glow plugs. Remove them, put 12 volts to the top, ground the body of the plug, and see if they get hot. They should get hot very quickly. Be sure to hold them with pliers so you dont get burned.
Somtime the indicator light will not work if all the glow plugs are not working.
Good luck

farmer_74 · Oct 26, 2004

Thanks Rims,
I will try that as soon as I get the chance. I haven't had time to try to diagnose the problem yet. I'm pretty sure that the amount of smoke that I get on cold starts is a good indication that 1 or more of the glow plugs aren't working.
