    Oil level rising

    This tractor is sitting on some property quite distance from my house so I go check on this every few days. I dumped the oil today and it does not have any coolant in it. It s just black and very thin- I m assuming is from the fuel mix in. Checked on a few other items and now I m going to order...

    Snake OIl?

    A few years ago I started putting a little more than the label says of MMO in my small engine gas tanks and running them until it get to the carburetor before winter storage. I have had very few problems in spring getting them running again. Seems to keep the carbs from gumming up.

    Engine oil

    Thanks for the responses- I figured it was not an issue but thought it wise to ask the experts!

    Engine oil

    Since I seem to have a fuel leak into my 1520 s oil pan when I get this fixed I will definitely need an oil change. What do YOU all recommend for oil? I know everything says use John Deere tough guard or plus 50- but is that really necessary on a tractor of this vintage? I don t have a problem...

    Oil level rising

    My injection pump was rebuilt a couple years ago by dieseltech- I assume that it is good, that guy sure seems to know his stuff!

    Oil level rising

    After looking around online it appears as there are two different styles of pumps. One does not look rebuildable and the other does. The one I have now definitely does not look like you can rebuild it. Here are pics of the different styles.

    Hydraulic fittings

    A quick online check and I found this picture and it is definitely the style I have. The female fitting was stamped pioneer 4056-4.

    Hydraulic fittings

    I will be back at the property with my tractor on it in a couple days and I will get a picture of those "male tips". Although I can think of quite a few jokes to add to this response in regard to male tip pictures! I will leave that alone!

    Oil level rising

    I m not 100% positive it was a carter. I do recall when i installed it the primer lever responded very strange. If coolant was getting in I would assume that I would have a oil pan milkshake and I definitely do not have that. I looked under the oil filter cap and it did not have any of that...

    Hydraulic fittings

    I just dug out a set of hoses that have the same fitting and they say pioneer 1/2". So just fish out the old o-ring and put a new one in and that s it? That way to earn easy!

    Oil level rising

    This pump is only a few years old. I guess they don t make em like they used to. I think it was made by carter if memory serves me.

    Hydraulic fittings

    I just went out and looked-they both look the same and one says pioneer on it. I did not think I could just change the o-ring, but I like that idea a lot better. Is there only one size of fitting or are there many?

    Hydraulic fittings

    I was getting my John Deere 1520 ready for winter and my 2 loader disconnect fittings are leaking pretty bad. Since I will have to replace the whole fittings I figure I would ask y all what would be the best style to replace them with? I believe it has the pioneer style on it now but is there a...

    Oil level rising

    John Deere 1520- starts easy and runs well. the oil level has risen quite a bit and I haven t had to add oil in quite some time. From looking around on the engine it seems as there can only be 2 culprits- coolant or fuel is making its way to the crankcase. It s not milky or strange looking and...
