    O.T. What next?

    Okay, I'll delete my profile and won't visit any more. Before I go, I feel someone should inform you that your grammar and use of punctuation is terrible. If you want to make money quickly, you should sue your school.[/img]

    O.T. What next?

    Responses like that are why I would rather not be a foreman anymore. I was looking for some advice, not this kind of crap. If that was meant to be humorous, it was not.

    O.T. What next?

    I don't mind getting dirty and I certainly still love the first start up of a fresh overhaul. What it mostly boils down to is all of the old pros that I worked with my entire adult life are retired or have passed away. The fresh out of school guys are cheaper to hire than seasoned techs so I...

    O.T. What next?

    I need some help from some experienced men. My wife and I have talked this over for months and still no reasonable answers. I have been a mechanic for just shy of 20 years and served as shop foreman for over a year now. The problem is that I am rapidly growing bored with this career. What does a...

    Case/Ingersoll 644 loader tractor

    I'm looking for a little help on a recent adventure. I'm doing a little work on this 644 that was brought in a week ago. It looks like it belongs in a museum as far as condition. The questions I have are on the hydraulic system. What oil and is there a filter? I've searched and searched and...

    Don't forget to drain the oil before you pull the screen. If the screen has little brass colored ribbons on it, it may be time for brake linings

    Dyno service central WI

    I closed my place up about 2 years ago and went to work there. I like the place as it's a lot easier on my knees working on the smaller stuff vs heavy ag equipment. Thank you for the tip on the classified section. It seems once the spring rush is done, we get kind of slow through the summer...

    Dyno service central WI

    A few years ago I threw in the towel and closed my shop. I still wrench for a living but I don't get my old tractor fix very often anymore. I had a tractor on the dyno the other day and had a thought. We are always looking for extra work in the summer so why not give a good service and have some...

    3020 Diesel help please

    Got to the bottom of it. Intake valve sticking. Just had the head done with all new valves and seats. Turns out they used oversized stems and bored the guides and got one a little tight. Bad news is the piston didn't like the valve being in it's way. Not a pretty sight. The other bad news is...

    3020 Diesel help please

    I wouldn"t be surprised the way things have been going lately. I"ll get the pump #"s today and check it out. I still hope that it is just timing.

    3020 Diesel help please

    I feel like an idiot even asking on this matter but I'm stumped. I have a 66 3020 diesel that we just overhauled and it runs like crap. Before anybody makes jokes or roles their eyes, we've done these for almost 20 years without a problem until now. I had the pump done at Area Diesel in Illinois...

    4020 diesel belt

    Just wondering if anyone knows what the size is for the fan belt on a 4020 diesel. It"s the early one. Kind of having a hard time with what the dealer is charging and the tractor isn"t going to run much. Any help here is greatly appreciated.

    UH OH!!! 3020

    Sorry, i completely forgot. It is an early serial # 3020 diesel.

    UH OH!!! 3020

    At this point the engine kit of choice is the least of our worries. During dis-assembly, several things pointed towards a previous overhaul. When I removed the crankshaft and bearing inserts from the block, I found a very ugly weld on the #2 main journal. It starts right in the journal and goes...
