    New Holland Haybine Rollers - how bad?

    Very interesting thought. Maybe that’s the way to go. Can you just remove the rollers and still use the haybine if/when the rollers fail?

    New Holland Haybine Rollers - how bad?

    That’s very good to know. Heard that those are quite failure prone and $$$ to fix

    Fair point. It’s all New Holland around here. Haven’t seen a used Hesston around here.

    New Holland Haybine Rollers - how bad?

    $280 is quite a different price, lol. Maybe I should really wait for winter or at least fall to arrive. After all it’s not like that I need it like now.

    New Holland Haybine Rollers - how bad?

    Thank you for the advice. So just because the rubber between those “bars” is in a bit of bad shape/missing in quite a few spots doesn’t mean that the bars will separate soon? I have zero experience with haybines. This one is imo in the right price range for our op, the next one is 80 miles...

    New Holland Haybine Rollers - how bad?

    Hey everyone, I looked at a New Holland 489 haybine today. While overall it looks okay, the rollers definitely show some aging. The actual rubber “bars” or whatever they are called are in decent shape. It’s just the rubber between those “bars” that is peeling off and cracking. How bad is...

    1972 CAT D4D overheating

    Sorry that I didn’t give a final update on this. The dozer had 2 issues: 1. Water pump was shot (oil seal worn) 2. Radiator. Badly clogged, I cleaned it chemically (NOT the stuff you get from a auto parts store) but at some point I will replace it. I now have around 3 hours of working time...

    The small line also goes to the water pump. Yes, I had it off to install the new water pump.

    This hose is now firm no matter if the thermostat is open or closed. I think the old water pump was shot. The new water pump fixed this. It has power shift and yes - a cooler for that. Unfortunately the manual doesn’t say anything about bleeding the cooling system.

    Yes, the bigger one is part of the bypass system. The small one - idk. Picture attached.

    Do you mean with bypass system the pipe? There is a way smaller pipe - Completely agree! It should be the same temperature. I checked the „big“ pipe. I haven’t checked the other smaller pipe yet.

    Took the pipe out and checked it, it is basically as clean as it gets. Nothing was stuck in there…. Oooor it moved, well hopefully not!

    The part 9S3808 was installed previously and has been replaced with the same part (9S3808 but from Napa). The opening temperature of the new thermostat is slightly lower (175°F). Other than that, there is no difference. I haven’t figured when to use part 7N208 and when 9S3808. 7M208 seems to...

    1972 CAT D4D overheating

    Yes to all your questions. Pictures are attached. According to the service manual, there are two different thermostats. I installed a thermostat similar to the one that was installed before. Not sure why there are two different thermostats in the service manual. It definitely only has ONE...

    1972 CAT D4D overheating

    At this point, I also think that something is stuck in there or that something is restricting the flow. The bypass from the water pump to the thermostat housing had some weird temperature readings: 170°F on the side of the thermostat, 140°F on the side of the water pump, and 80°F a quarter way...
