    Precombustion chamber temperature???

    Got the flu, so haven't left yet. Cleaning up all the parts I removed to see if anything is worth saving, didn't really look at this when I pulled it off other than it was broken. I'm guessing even though the last readable number is white, that because there is another "dial" to the left of it...

    My D6D

    Yeah I've only got a tiny bit of softwood scrub country, so no real dramas with dieback. Probably the one good thing with having breeder forest country is its mostly native grasses. Although I did rip a bit of heavier red soil in paddock on a new block that was a bit degraded by a previous owner...

    Giving warranty on used equipment

    Yeah I don't know about overall quality, but here's my 2c. Had a 180amp Chinese inverter mig, used mostly for welding gal cattle rail, building cattle yards. Had it 10yrs, never failed to work, had a few wire feed issues, but probably more wire than welder. Got sick of carting it between...

    Selling equipment

    Yeah I've done it a few times, only with smaller things though. Though they were a bit dear and didn't want to drive all that way and they wouldn't move on price. I still look the item over and make sure they represented it fairly and then stood by my offer. It hasn't happened yet, but if I...

    They are forecasting another La Nina in the next few months, so give you something to do while it's raining.

    Precombustion chamber temperature???

    Sorry to say I don't have any, I thought I did but nothing on phone. It's now totally together and I degreased the side of the block where it was dribbling down with the exhaust manifold was removed. I'll be trucking it up to my properties in a few days, I have a bit of slashing that needs...

    Precombustion chamber temperature???

    Ended up just swapping the injectors, slobber stayed in the front exhaust port. So best guess it's just normal slobbering from cold cylinder temps on #1. I'll give it some more work, try and find something productive for it to do where I can load it up for an extended period and see if that does...

    Precombustion chamber temperature???

    I've been getting my parts from a tractor joint in Logan Village and he's giving me trade pricing so I've been giving him all my business so far. However his pop-off tester was broken when I fitted my nozzles and he was in the process of importing a flash one from abroad. So I ended up going to...

    Precombustion chamber temperature???

    Rightoh update time. Brought the slasher back down with me, hooked it up and gave it about 45 minutes under a decent load, in high/heavy grass. 2nd low gear 1400rpm, not lugging, but definitely working. It appears as if everything to do with the cooling system is good, precomp cover temps are...

    Precombustion chamber temperature???

    Sorry been flat out. Yes wire brush was what we call over here, crimped wire. The aggressive ones are twisted wire. Also yes injectors we're supposed to be pattern tested when they set the pop-off pressures, but I'm not sure on whether the apprentice got my job and it may have been done or...

    Memories for us old truckers

    The legs weren't the first things that jumped out to me.

    Precombustion chamber temperature???

    Re wire brushing the block,. I guess it comes back to me not knowing any better. The shop I'm buying parts from specialises in fixing these old tractors. I've bought enough parts now, they know me a bit and have been giving me a bit of advice. Wire brushing the deck come from them, I figured...

    To be fair to OzDozer, RC, we all think that, he's just the only one saying it. ,;-)

    Precombustion chamber temperature???

    Hey mate, I was hoping you'd chime in. I installed new nozzles and then had a shop set the pop-off pressure. I didn't notice a damaged tip, but I didn't really look, the point of the photo was to show what I thought was excessive carbon build up after 2 hrs running. I will have a better look...

    Precombustion chamber temperature???

    Thanks Cliffy. Unfortunately you only know half the story, as with the motor, the rest of the tractor is the same. At first inspection you find some issues, but it doesn't seem to bad, but as you fix those issues more and more keep being exposed. Maybe I'm being cheap, but I have really been...

    Precombustion chamber temperature???

    Oops, noticed a typo and thought I'd better correct it. Head studs are 7/16 UNF not UNC as incorrectly said above. I also installed new nuts, and replaced a few of the studs that looked a bit second-hand. Also chased a tap into the threads into the block. I think now I've established the...

    Precombustion chamber temperature???

    Just to be thorough, also removed injector lines from pump and run carby cleaner and compressed air through them, all seem to flow OK. No kinks or other abnormalities noticed.
