And I completely agree with Bob. A flywheel will have blind hole drillings into it which are strictly for balance. This is done to remove even a fragment of weight. A one OZ weld bead or anything else weighs a whole bunch at even 2000 RPM. Simply stated the engine balance will be totally hosed now.
I have changed many starter rings in my life. No I have never seen one that was properly installed spin. I was a new starter ring correct?
The company that hosts this site open states that they host about 6000 sites per server. That's in insane number. It's cheap but you get what you pay for. It's the main reason I seldom post here anymore. Got other things to do and waiting on a slow website is not on my priority list.
Roger,
Glad this worked out as it did. And again it was my pleasure to provide advice as needed. Pat yourself on the back you did the work.
Idahobob…RonJ has the best reply because you forgot to say if there was a loader on the tractor and if there was anything heavy on the rear. Tire pressure should change accordingly with load.
I am not sure exactly when those engines changed to common rail but it is around when your truck was built. Also around that same time the lift pump furnished by Cummins was a real hunk of junk. It was an electric pump mounted near the left rear of the engine. The dealers had a conversion kit to fit them with an in-tank pump. The fuel tank was actually designed for an in-tank pump as it was. The first year they came from the factory with an in-tank pump was 2005. If you have an in-tank pump it has been converted. I have seen the conversion cause problems. There is a bulkhead electrical connection to the rear of the front tire on the drivers side. Since it is a plastic pump inside a plastic tank it needs both power and ground via the electrical connector. I have seen this connector cause problems on a few of those pickups and it actually fails to ground. The pump may run some but not to capacity starving the engine for fuel. Good luck
There is a pin where the PTO lever connects to the shaft. If that pin is ok then you might have a broken what the Chinese call a “shift lump”. Look in your parts book. I have seen several of them break. You have to pull the lift box top off to get at it. But really not too hard to change. Good luck.
The confusion is partially my fault. I don't get on here that often anymore. And when I do I only click on threads that sound interesting. When I saw “Engine Knocking” I thought another bad injector for someone because 99% of the time that's what it is. But when it kept showing up I thought… dang it's taking a long time to fix that and perhaps I should take a look. Only then was I up to speed on what's going on. I was completely out of the loop on that one 🙁
Hi Roger,
I am not sure I have your email address anymore. You can email me at larry@cooljohnsons.com
The cam looks good from the pictures and I have no idea what that bread wrapper tie looking thing is ???

I sold that tractor to Roger. It was my own personal tractor. The oil was changed when we got it new and again right before he bought it. The tractor was sold for two reasons. First: at that time my father in law lived with us (now diseased) and he had a heck of a time operating it. Also I wanted a bigger tractor as that 25HP machine would not cut the mustard on some things we needed to do. That's why I went to a 40HP machine. Other than that the machine was never touched.
When a person has been inside a large number of these machines that's when you really get a sense of the lack of quality control. We found a plastic screw on lid inside the transmission of one machine shipped directly to me from the factory. The worst was a brand new tractor that came in. They put just enough HYD oil in them to get it out the door. We drained that and filled it with new oil just to watch it run down the outside of the 3 point lift housing. The casting core had shifted so badly that the side of the case was less than paper thin. It actually had a pin hole in it. That should have never left the factory. The casting should have went to remelt.
Some casting sand still in the engine would not surprise me. I have seen worse.
Of course I am sorry that Roger is having these issues. Besides the pain in the ass of fixing it he is a very nice guy. There is more than one reason why I don't sell this stuff anymore. I got to the point where I could not put my name in it and be happy about it.
