656 Hydro

[Mark's A]

656 Hydro had a relief valve stick, however when I drained the oil it had brass in it, does this mean it"s done for? Should I put the valve back in and try it? I really hate this because it"s a great running Diesel.

Brass is bad, but, the damage is not likely to get any worse if you use it and it will go. Not like a bearing is out. It is either valve plates or parts of hydro pump or motor. Your call.

why do you think it"s not likely to get any worse if it has brass in it?

What I meant was the damage, if any, is already done so the repairs won't get any worse, money wise to fix it.
