    Are there Liners in Ford BSD444T Engine??

    Hi I haven't posted in a while but I'm back now on my diesel grind. I'm rebuilding a BSD444T / 268 diesel from a FORD 575D. (The engine is New Holland, has the logos all over it).

    Junkyard's work thread.....maybe haha

    I haven't posted in a while, but damn...nice work!!! I've had really great experiences renting equipment but I couldn't imagine relying on the dealership for diagnosis or repairs. Last dealer diag. was my friend had his Cummins boxtruck checked for an intermittent crank but no start issue...

    Starting Detroit 3-53 w/Hydraulic Starter!??

    Ok, this makes sense to me, thanks. There is this large hand pump next to the accumulator. I will probably try to get it going with the hydraulic system, but like you said I will probably take it off and go electric.

    Starting Detroit 3-53 w/Hydraulic Starter!??

    Just picked up this power unit, thought it was air start, I realized it's hydraulic start and am a little confused. I'm not sure where it gets its initial hydraulic power to start. It's got a hydo reservoir, an accumulator, and valve that control flow to the starter but I'm just not sure where...

    Can't find Upper Track Idlers for JD350-C John Deere Crawler.

    Its just one upper idler/roller, no other rollers up top. John Deere its obsolete, but yeah now that you mention it I found a company that might sell one it just has a new part number.

    Can't find Upper Track Idlers for JD350-C John Deere Crawler.

    I need help finding these, upper track idlers for a JD350-C. Anyone have some ideas? They are obsolete, the rest of the assembly and wear items are available, just not the idler.
