about the headgasket. If the the the surfaces involved are true the liners not too "high" and the torquing sequence adherred to then the engine will be good and "tight" using just the gasket alone.In my experiance. If I was in doubt about one of the above I doubt weather gasket goo will help much. I...

Resurfacing is also a possibility although her in denmark that would cost as much or more than a new set. What about going to a breaker? there is a good chance you could find a set of cam+followers in ok condition ,save money and still get a sweet running engine. Alternativley you could just use the...

I think it would be a waste to use worn followers with a new camshaft,they will chew up the the new lobes

Show traktor ok,heavy Duty no-go IMO
How are the cam lobes

thats it Pavel Have you tried it?

JC
About how long for how long before it stops smoking like a bush fire on starting! I hate all that bluish smoke

Good advice Rick

He did it with the head and sump off + pistons out!
-and it wasent "his" thread he was responding on it.

Hello
I remember reading a thread on a DIY sandpaper/el-drill sleeve honing and cant seem to find it again.Anybody know where its at

Sounds right JC

Thats a good question,I had a minimec which had its lockinging wire and seal intact (breafley) and if i remember correct the screw was showing 2-3 threads over the nut.Lets hope one of the heavyweights chip in on this one

Just wait til "ol Smokey" the super gets its fiber-clutch,we wont need music then

THIS CALLS FOR A PINT !!!!

Do the liftarms drop if the engine is off

For if you lowered the controlhandel a little say an inch or so,what Happens then

Thanks JC,il give it a go.

Did a bit of ground levelling with the vac-major yesterday and now it starts instantly from cold WITHOUT the cold start butten.Perhaps the flunging-spring has come un-stuck ,a happy day it is

How do you people post pics,is PHb the only alternative

Make sure the stop leaver device is funktioning before you test it "live" !!

jc that is the max-fuel injection stop screw.(Fuel-Index screw) When the new tractor was delivered that screw was set so the pump would deliver just enough diesel to allow the new engine to make the promised horsepower at max torque-revs (about 1600). It was fitted with a lead seal which if tampered...

its the type with the large black rubber driveblocks,you see on late model supers.

well the main thing is that she otherwise starts and runs fine with the "new" vacume-governor,now where will I find that "old-style" clattering injector-pump clutch for it to complete its rustic image

Henk even full throttle and severel seconds winding on the starter dont produce as much as a fart or a wiff of smoke and we are are talking about a motor which is warmed up and was stoppet just half a minuit ago?? the Rack is in the 75% power position,yet it wont react until i push the button and th...

hello, heres an update on governor-swaping, Now i have the vacume-job built on and fully funktional on one of my 2 supers (the one with loader) ,the other still has its minimec! I am very pleased with the result,working with the loader at the usual 1100 or so revs the engine aktually feels more grun...

Henk
Mine is the 75s so it should be compatible with my super.

hello! Well have just recived 1 pc simms vacume type governer and as soon as i have found a couple of other things such as a manifold with a butterfly valve and some control rod links I should be ready to convert "old smoker" to vacume. As i examined it I looked in vain for a means to ajust maximum ...
