    John Deere 555a - Froze Tracks or something else?

    That s weird. My TM1292 manual looks identical but doesn t have that critical note in it. I looked at the exact page and it has the exact same images. Well this really might be the issue. I m going to take the oil cooler back off and take a look because I know I didn t pay attention to the...

    John Deere 555a - Froze Tracks or something else?

    I actually didn t see that. I took the valve out of the block and the only hole I seen in it was at the tip, not on the sides. I went out and checked my manual and didn t see any critical notes for the installation of the oil pressure relief valve either. Which manual do you have? I m curious if...

    John Deere 555a - Froze Tracks or something else?

    Oh ok, yeah I m not familiar with these engines at all. I do have the technical manual. I ll have a look through it when I go back out there in the morning and see what I can find.

    John Deere 555a - Froze Tracks or something else?

    For cam bearings I don t see anything in the parts catalogue. Am I over looking something or do they not exist? Maybe only the ends?

    John Deere 555a - Froze Tracks or something else?

    Yes I did take a look at both springs and valves when I was in there and they seemed to move freely and they tested good. I looked at the diagram for the turbo and it looks like there are only fittings and oil lines leading to and from it with no restrictors. My thoughts are going to that maybe...

    John Deere 555a - Froze Tracks or something else?

    Yes the gauge I am using is a fairly reliable mechanical gauge. I did not end up replacing the spring because it tested good. If it was relieving pressure, shouldn t the pressure remain constant because the pressure would be being relieved at a certain pressure regardless of how thick the oil is...

    John Deere 555a - Froze Tracks or something else?

    Well it looks like I ll be leaving it sit for a while until I can fix the oil pressure.. it s at 8-10 psi at low idle when warmed up and I won t dare rev it to see the high idle oil pressure.. if the relief valves were sticking or the springs were weak I would think that regardless of high or...

    John Deere 555a - Froze Tracks or something else?

    I finally got to work on it. Had a few issues putting the oil cooler back in, shot out about 3 gallons of oil and fast because it wasn t flushly mounted and gaskets were sealing it. Bolt broke off in alternator.. etc. anyways, I got it all back together and fired it up with a gauge checking the...

    John Deere 555a - Froze Tracks or something else?

    I think it moves pretty freely. It has quite a bit of tension too. There were a few rust flakes in that passage way. I ll bet it was allowing pressure to bypass. I hit a snag and have to wait on new gaskets to arrive for the oil cooler. They should be in tomorrow before noon.

    John Deere 555a - Froze Tracks or something else?

    I ve got the oil cooler assembly off now and yes this may have been the problem. There were rust pieces plugging most of the holes on the oil cooler. I can t find a spring tester so I may just buy a new one ($11.00 at dealer) and put it in while I have it apart. The relief valve area looks clean...

    John Deere 555a - Froze Tracks or something else?

    Thanks for the great information. Yes you are right it s in with the oil cooler. I will post back when I ve done all testing.

    John Deere 555a - Froze Tracks or something else?

    I can t find anything on a relief valve. Where is the relief valve normal at so maybe I can find it on the parts diagrams? Is it usually from the oil pump assembly I assume?

    John Deere 555a - Froze Tracks or something else?

    There wasn t much sludge in the engine really I just wondered if maybe it was plugged up. I pulled it all off and apart and it is clear. There s was a small piece of rust or something in it but that s it. I ve got the fuel line back on now. Should I be priming that injector line somehow or just...

    John Deere 555a - Froze Tracks or something else?

    Yes it appears to be coming from inside the nut and out the top of the fitting. I will try tightening it up and see if it seals up. Yes the gauge does move. It almost makes it to the green at cold start 1500 rpm s but then slowly creeps into the red and stays there. That s what has me...

    John Deere 555a - Froze Tracks or something else?

    Yes you are right, it s one of the injection lines which explains the complication to them. Thank you for the advice. The taper cone end is what s leaking. I tried to tighten it some but it still leaked.
