    48,JD-BW, Fuel in crankcase

    I have another question for you. Is it a good idea to run the Brush hog behind the 48 B? the reason I ask is in conversation I was told that if I hit something solid using that implement it will break my transmission/PTO gears. Is there any truth to that?

    48,JD-BW, Fuel in crankcase

    Help me to understand. Because fuel is so thin, thinner than oil and a poor needle valve seat the fuel flows past the rings into the crankcase, correct? Makes sense. I suppose ill need to change the oil filter as well, its probably saturated with gas too. Im glad to hear it a simple solution...

    Diesel fuel in JD-H

    Running with the shutter closed is the only way I can get the temp. to 150*, I guess it just efficient in the cooling department. Maybe this summer in warmer temperatures ill have better luck. Thanks...

I would like to see it around 190* although I don't have any implements or anything "other than the wife's car" to pull around and...

    oil pressure

    I had replaced the oil line supplying oil to the top end when it was torn down.and spun the crank by hand to be sure the lines didn't conflict with anything, all was well then, but I can double check it. I will repair the gauge leak, and install a separate gauge to be sure of the pressure. The...
