    I've never seen a single cotter pin bridge two links before on a chain. It made me scratch my head a little.

      @ThatOliverGuyChris  4 роки тому +4

      It keeps the pins from spinning in their holes, which wears them out quicker. I should have mentionedthat in the video.

      Yes, if you use 4 small cotter pins the chain link pins will rotate and wear the cotter pins out.The chain will exit the tractor at an inappropriate moment (like when it's 100 degrees and you really want to get some hay raked) and more often than not tear off you're brand new ground speed gauge drive. So move the engine forward and use the long cotter pin and don't cut corners. 😀 Dont ask how I know. 🙄

      It's tough on a fwa. The only trick I know there is to take the motor mount bolts out and slide the engine forward an inch or so. Then get the chain on the sprockets. With it forward that little bit there's enough room to get the pins in from the rear with the connecting link on them. I put the small cotter pins in, bend them over, then slide the link on, then I can put all that in the chain. Put the front link on and slide the long cotter pin in and bend the bends on that, slide the engine back and you're done.

    Mr Losey, I am working on my 1800 B model. I had a hyd leak into the rear end. I had tore it apart last spring to replace the hyd pump. I found out that there weren't any new pumps for that vintage. I put a used pump in. That all went well. A few hours of usage and I couldn't keep the hyd reservoir full. I tore it apart now after the first of the year. I am updating the system. I am trying to put the pto drive shaft back in. It seems to go in fine till it gets to the front of the case, then it hits something and won't go any farther. It has a cab on it so I can't work on it from the side. Do you have any ideas for me to try? Thank you.

    • @ThatOliverGuyChris
      @ThatOliverGuyChris  2 роки тому +1

      Are your couplers lined up on the front of the transmission? Sometimes the splines don't line up on either the PTO or the gear that drives the hydraulic unit, and it takes some turning of the shaft and retrying to get it to go. Also, make sure the shaft is straight by rolling in on a flat surface. Beyond that, I don't have much help. For future reference, you don't have to pull that long shaft to take the hydraulic unit off. Maybe there was something else you had to work on at the same time..

    Hey Chris, I've got a big expensive question for you. The other night after finishing up plowing with our TG 210 and I was letting it idle to cool down the engine started to make a ticking/ vibrating noise. The oil pressure was just fine and water temp. We had the NH macanic come look at it. He said it could possibly be a scored piston, but would have to take it to the shop to do a compression test. Also as a side note after the first oil change on it after buying it we did an oil test on it and a high level of silica was found in the oil. This told us that a air intake hose clamp must be loose. Which sure enough we found. It has always used more oil then it should. I am thinking this could have caused some damage to the engine. The last oil tests we have taken have shown nothing abnormal in the oil. Any thoughts about what could be wrong. Also it has a Cummings 505 in it.

    • @ThatOliverGuyChris
      @ThatOliverGuyChris  4 роки тому +1

      Boy, that's a tough one. A compression check is a good place to start. Does that vent the crankcase to atmosphere or back into the intake? Just wondering if the amount of blow by increased. That would be a sign of piston damage. You could run it without the oil fill cap on and see if there's excessive crankcase pressure. Does it act like it is missing at all? A bad injector can make some funky noises too. If you have a infrared thermometer, point it at each port on the exhaust manifold near the head. There can be some variation, but they're typically 10-20 degrees of each other. That can help narrow it down to which cylinder is acting up.

    • @stephenfonder7409
      @stephenfonder7409 4 роки тому

      @@ThatOliverGuyChris The macanic took off the oil fill cover and checked for blow by like you said but didn't think that it was excessive. He also thought about an injector as well, or possibly a valve. Paul and I have been worried that possibly the cross hatch pattern on the cylinder walls got taken off when the dust got in the engine. Maybe this had nothing to do with the noise at all, but could still be the reason for the high oil consumption. The macanic told me earlier this fall that this engine is supposed to burn 4 quarts of oil for every 200 gallons of diesel burnt when working it hard. I know it burns more than that though. Do you know what your 6125 is supposed to burn? It is a smaller engine but I am curious if the Cummins burn more then other engines. Thanks for your insights Chris!

      I never have to add oil to my 5.9 Cummins. My combine has the 505 and it does use some oil, but not that much. I think I put 8 quarts total in it all of harvest, which was over 100 hours. I thought it was odd at the end of harvest last year that it wasn't using any, then it started growing oil. It didn't smell like diesel, so I resealed the hydraulic pump and problem solved, it's back to using oil.

    • @ThatOliverGuyChris
