    Cooling System Capacity

    I did have the heat control valve open when I drained it. Does anyone know how full the radiator should be over the baffle when cold? I only have a service manual for a 4230. It states coolant should be about 1 1/2 inches above the baffle, which is about where I am. Also, when it was purging the...

    Cooling System Capacity

    I should clarify that I only lost a quart??? through the overflow. I was meaning that I'm 6-8 quarts low, cause I never got the system filled to the spec to begin with.

    Cooling System Capacity

    The motor was just overhauled in frame less than 200 hours ago by the local shop here, with a reman cylinder head put on it. No coolant in oil is apparent. I used it this spring to plant 250 acres of beans with no problems! Any other tests I can do to troubleshoot? It sounds odd because I think...

    Cooling System Capacity

    Did some cooling system repairs on my 4630. Had the radiator re-cored, rebuilt the water pump, changed thermostats and hoses, etc. Completely drained block. Filled system with new coolant. The book says coolant capacity with heater is 38 quarts. I can only get 32 quarts in it. This sounds crazy...

    4630 Fuel Injector Replacement

    I'm swapping out the injectors in my early model 4630 (KDL "Y" style injectors) for some rebuilds. I have the wrench to remove the injectors, but I can't track down the reamer tool (JDE-99) to clean the nozzle seats. Does anyone have any tricks up their sleeves for accomplishing this without the...

    Metal Pieces Found In Transmission!!!

    Update: I put it all back together, filled it with Hy-Gard, and everything INCLUDING the PTO works fine! I haven't tried it with any load on the PTO, but when engaging it, it works the way it should, and doesn't make any noises! Thinking about taking it to my local shop and having it dynoed...

    JD SCV QQuestion

    The quad ring and one piece backup rings fixed all the leaks! Worked really well. Next issue is the the rest of SCV needs to be gone through. There is pressure on the couplers with the lever in the "neutral" position, and they are creeping up and down with pressure tests. I've never rebuilt one...

    Stuck pipe plug in cylinder head

    I was thinking about putting an actual water temperature gauge in addition to the stock cold/hot gauge on my 4630. There is a 1/2" pipe plug right in front of the electric sending unit on the head. Problem is, it won't come out. Should I dare heat it up with a torch??? Or not risk it since it is...

    JD SCV QQuestion

    Thanks again, Tim! I went to a local hydraulic shop and got quad rings, and one piece backup rings for everything in there BUT #16-17 inside the barrel. Forgot to take them with me for sizing! Should I even worry about replacing them, or the steel ball #18 if they aren't leaking? Seems like a...

    JD SCV QQuestion

    Thanks, Tim. I thought they would work better. Do you know what size the quad rings are that replace the seals? Does JD parts carry them as well? Also, do you use a backup ring with the smaller quad rings on the lever (13-14)?

    JD SCV QQuestion

    Hello. I'm replacing the o-rings in my breakaway couplers due to some leaks. Mine had back-up rings and o-rings in the housing where they are leaking from (parts 27-29 in drawing). My rebuild kit has those, and some one piece seals in it. I would think the seals would be better to use? Has...

    Metal Pieces Found In Transmission!!!

    Thanks for all the help, guys! Sorry I haven't responded sooner. Was out of town for a long, holiday weekend. I guess what I'm going to do is put the PTO seal back in, new filter, and a fresh fill up of JD Hy Gard. Once all back together, I will test out the PTO, and see if there are any...

    Metal Pieces Found In Transmission!!!

    Thanks for the help, Tim! My tractor is BEFORE the serial # break, so I have the earlier clutch housing without a drain plug. Also, I have never used the PTO on this tractor, and I'd be willing to bet the previous owner didn't either. Is it safe to keep running the tractor, as long as I don't...

    Metal Pieces Found In Transmission!!!

    Hey Tim S. Yes, the tractor is an early model (1973) with Synchro Range transmission. Bob seemed to think the same thing about it being the clutch thrust bearing. Is it possible these parts could have made it all the way to the back of the tractor? Would the tractor still be functioning...

    4630 Sump Screen Debris

    I started a new topic on this titled "Metal Pieces In Transmission!!!" Since it's a new problem, I figured a new topic would be a better way to approach this?? I'm new on the forums, so not exactly sure what is the best way. Sorry for any confusion!
