    Flywheel bolts 1850, Can I used Loctitie?

    i did not state my justification for using safety wire, and you did not ask. how can you dislike something you don't know? lol my prior remark on SM was *in general,* not specific to the tractor in topic. the reason i have exceptions for that circumstance is it is easier to establish fault of...

    Flywheel bolts 1850, Can I used Loctitie?

    "... a thing worked for somebody, so it will work for you." i highly dislike that justification. the big probs i see with loctite are: 1. no visual confirmation, 2. it's a chemical solution that separates with age and improper storage, 3. very tight liability and extremely difficult to prove...

    Flywheel bolts 1850, Can I used Loctitie?

    yep. forget the loctite, unless it's called for in the SM. the safety wire tip is worth more than 2c; i use that a lot for hi-vibration apps & bolts/plugs w fluid behind them.

    Oliver 1850 Steering Motor Hydraulic Lines

    just an afterthought for this episode... but i believe agco still stocks the 2 hoses that attach to lines that feed the steering cylinder. looks like that was one of them. a bit more than $40, but reasonable with none of the hassle of finding a guy who might charge just as much.

    1650 Hydra-Power Leak Repair

    & split hose works perfectly as long as you put the split opposite the leak & clamps at or right next to the spot leaking. i've done it with duct tape in a pinch in the field. ;)

    the line is very low pressure. it's just return from the oil cooler to res.

    you can also just cut that line under the plate, & splice with the 1/2 ID hose & clamps.

    1650 Hydra-Power Leak Repair

    nah, that's a walk in the park. get that center plate up--4 9/16 head bolts, clean it out well, & find the spot that is leaking. i've only seen bottom side leaks on that line & usually in the exact same spot. you may need to carefully pry the line up off the cover a bit for enough clearance to...

    1650 Hydra-Power Leak Repair

    your cab has a full steel floor over the platform? which one is that? if you can get the small center plate up, all you need is a short half inch ID rubber hose split along length with a couple of 3/4 spring clamps.

    Oliver 770 clutch

    agree! esp in a case like this. but if u don't have any lift, try what u can i guess; just keep in mind--hand joints & skin, your mind, & time have a price!

    the hydraulic oil could be brown too. photo kinda looks like it might coming off the final top cover, from that oil cooler return line--looks wet above the filter.

    1755 Fresh Overhaul Over Fuel ?

    gray wld be unburnt fuel, white wld b coolant, but i'm sure some do describe gray as white. diesels don't seem to run for long if you see a lot of white exhaust! haha. shld be able to hear a miss, but an injector could b stuck open, or opening at slightly wrong time.
