    730 Diesel crankshaft fiber thrust washer

    Well it looks more and more like I will be doing the inner washer and doing it myself, I dont know anyone in my area to work on these. Does anyone have any tips or things I should know first? Also has anyone ever tried using UHMWPE instead of the fiber ones? I think I can get the UHMWPE for...

    730 Diesel crankshaft fiber thrust washer

    Does anyone know what the washers are made of? The outside one costs $50 at the dealer and the inside costs $100. That made me wonder what the diference between the two was. Also do we have better materials now? Is there an aftermarket choice that would be better?

    1952 John Deere B

    If we pull it we somtimes get a puff of smoke. We have fuel because the plugs get damp and smell of gas. If you take the plug out and ground it on the side of the tractor the plug sparks. If I leave the plug in and hold the lead near it it will jump across about a 1/4 inch gap. Put it all...

    730 Diesel cold start

    I was wondering that too. The manual says too high oil pressure setting can cause oil to leak into the first reduction gear housing. Is that what you were refering to?
