    3020 Deere LP poor running

    I don't know about the intake gaskets, the one at the carburetor was solid/good. Air cleaner seems fine... IIRC, this has a cartridge air cleaner on it, not oil bath.

    3020 Deere LP poor running

    So we have a 3020 LP (propane) tractor in the shop that just does not run well... We worked on it last fall, at the time the regulator was shot. Got a new regulator from Century Fuel products (Model H regulator) and put it on. Had to modify the manifold bracket as the new regulator had 3/4" NPT...

    4450 Deere loader control valve plumbing

    Do you know by chance where in the parts book one would find that power beyond block? I'm looking at the parts diagram you show, and looked it up on JDParts myself. It appears they are tapping in to the back side of the priority valve just as I am planning on, and then using some sort of JIC/ORB...

    4450 Deere loader control valve plumbing

    Hi guys, we have a 4450 in our shop that the customer is putting a loader on it. We have the loader control valve (closed center of course) mounted and I'm going to take the supply pressure off of the downstream side of the priority valve. That part is figured out. But what I don't know is where...

    JD 520 Taper Lock flywheel?

    Well, the reason I think they are out of business is that the phone only phone number I have found for them is disconnected. As for the crankshaft splines, I have no idea. I've not actually laid eyes on the thing. It's looking like a good used replacement is his only option from the...

    JD 520 Taper Lock flywheel?

    Does anyone sell a Taperlock setup for a 520? I have a customer that came into my machine shop today and wondered if I could put a Taperlock hub into his flywheel because he can't find one for a 520.. Turns out that Allen Machine is apparently out of business... I'm just wondering if these were...

    Rebuilt Ford 4000 3 cyl gas won't start.. Timing I think....

    Sorry man. I thought you were coming off with a derogatory comment.... Well, the way the book was telling me to install it, at 0 degrees, the rotor was pointed about midway between #3 & #1 terminals, and just coming off the breaker point opening from the #3 ignition event..... I.e> the...

    Rebuilt Ford 4000 3 cyl gas won't start.. Timing I think....

    Uh, man, you didn't read my post....... If you had, I spelled out exactly how I did it and why it made more sense than the way the service manual was (erroneously) telling me to.. Which left the timing 30-45 degrees retarded..... And hence, no start. And before you even go down the road of...

    Rebuilt Ford 4000 3 cyl gas won't start.. Timing I think....

    OK guys, got it! Tossed the service manual in the corner and timed it in the way it made sense to me.... Got the rotor lined up with #1 terminal, got the points set, and away she ran. Got it all timed in. The centrifigal advance works good. The Vacuum advance is not hooked up because the...

    Rebuilt Ford 4000 3 cyl gas won't start.. Timing I think....

    OK, in keeping with that, that's physically impossible..... The vacuum advance mechanism strikes the carburetor long before you're even close to that happening..... Which tells me the book is waaaayyy off in the way they tell you to install the distributor...

    Rebuilt Ford 4000 3 cyl gas won't start.. Timing I think....

    I put enough oil in that when I barred the tractor over, it puked oil out the spark plug holes. LOL> The entire tractor is saturated.. LOL Yep, checked the firing order multiple times. Gas is brand new premium gas with no ethanol.

    Rebuilt Ford 4000 3 cyl gas won't start.. Timing I think....

    Ok.... I'm pulling my hair out on this.... Close to $2k later, this stupid thing wont start. I think my I&T manual is leading me astray. All the tractor will do is pop and backfire, or now at least start, struggle on what sounds like 2 cylinders, and die. Block & head all checked...

    Tie down

    Straps ARE legal. Period. They actually sell strap "nets" that go over the wheels on cars/trucks/suv's to hold them down to trailers. It's just that most truckers you see use chains because in reality, chains are easier. If the paint is not important, I always use chain just because it's faster...

    Tie down

    You have to remember 2 things: 1: Straps may not have been sufficient working strenght for the weight of the bobcat 2: Cop/Trooper/DOT Officer was simply enforcing his version of the rules as he see's fit.... And who are you to argue or what you gonna do about it? My guess, it was the...
