yeah I am in Cleveland, Tn. and we got a full show, I wish it would have lasted longer ,but with a cold one in hand it was great!
I do not know the #’s of the filters check the sponsors of this site under directory’s listed on the header. But the engines use 15-40 wt. diesel engine oil and usually aw-32 in hydro systems. Sometimes common sump transmissions,differentials can use a heavier weight hydro – trans fluid. Best to ask the dealers what they suggest. Straight gear boxes and axles 80-90 wt. gl-4 is always safe choice. gl-5 can be used but it needs to be formulated with out chlorine so in case there is yellow metals in there they wont be affected.
if you do not have a compression release it is not a big time consuming task. if you do it take some finagling with the extra parts, I read I think on the old forum that the gasket material used is hard and retorquing is highly suggested and a good time to set the lifters too.
I did both of my Chinese tractors and all of the bolts were loose enough to turn some, but of course there is a torque window and a difference in wrench’s soooo. But I have heard on this forum of leaking head gaskets and thus a head removal and new gasket being then needed. and then a oil change and coolant change. Soooo torqueing again is easier and cheaper or roll the dice. have a nice day
If it ends up being a bad pump figure out why it dead headed and blew out the seal. There are many threads on this issue. Plumbing a pressure gauge in even on a temp basis will help.
what does the engine oil look like has it combined with diesel, hydro oil or water? was it running at a normal temp. before it quit? was your oil pressure good enough?Was the head retorqued after 50 hrs. or so?
I do not know exactly where it is but have you checked the flow control valve it should be a round hand wheel near or underneath the seat, it should be open some and closed down depending on how much weight the arms have on them to control downward hydro. flow from the cylinders back in the sump. I believe I got that right.
If you are not familiar with diesel injection systems find a mech. I would not start it as 3000 rpm it could go bang, clank and quiet and possibly hurt you, run away condition not good . but I think you need a injector pump. I do not believe anyone rebuilds them here. And most likely a oil change too. Others will crime in.
