Hey coy . I wanted to ask you if I put 6 quarts of diesel in the engine and started it just for 1 minute to flush it , would that hurt it ? Then I would let it drain all day , blow some air in there and fill it with 15/40 .
Ok ! Thank you sir !
Coy and tinkerer ! I dropped my oil pan today , it had about an inch of mud in the bottom of the pan . It looked all clean up in the engine and the pump looked clean to . How that mud got on in there is beyond my thoughts . I think I got everything clean now , just waiting on the new pump under warranty . Probably be a week before I get it . Then I’ll start over again . I had a thought . I’m surprised the suction line that runs down to the tranny doesn’t have a check valve in it just before it goes into the tranny . That way you would be less likely to lose prime . Just a thought .
It’s funny you say that . Not sure if you have followed my post from the beginning but all the problems started when I got stuck in the mud up to the frame . When I pulled the pressure regulator off I didn’t notice anything because it comes off so quick with spring pressure and I let it fall into a pan I had under it . Well when I reached in to grab the springs and washer I felt something hard , it was a small stone . I know the pan was wiped perfectly clean when I put it under the plug so that stone must have came out of there . No clue how it got in there but then I don’t even know how the mud got into the system , the only thing I can think of is there is a tear drop inspection slider on the flywheel housing . Wonder if everything got in the from it . But I would think that’s the torque converter is sealed of from the flywheel . You got me . I’m just so happy I finally figured out the problem . The contaminated oil was a big part of the problem also .
well today i went out to put the springs back in the pressure regulator . when i do the piston gets stuck at the top and doesn't allow tranny fluid to enter toque convertor and doesn'tThat is great news ! Problems like yours can keep a person awake at night because they are so aggravating.
If keep that new pump you likely will never need it. But if you have my luck you might be buying another one sometime in the future.
Not relief valve . pressure regulator valve . no i have not done any pressure checks because i am not capable of doing so without a flow meter . but maybe your right , maybe theirs not enough pressure to push the springs down . but it seems to drive and steer ok . ya know what ? im just going to have to bring it to case . this is way over my head . ill spend more keep trying to figure this out then its worth . this is crazy .
I did , doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with them at all . The only thing I can say is when I remove them , the piston is always stuck at the top and the only way I can get it out is to remove the springs and put the plug back on , then start the machine for a second and turn it off , then when I take the plug off the piston has been pushed down so I can remove it but I think the problem is that there is Not enough fluid pressure to push the piston down when the springs are in and the gauge shows that . Only about 100 psi . I just don’t know why everything operates ok when theirs isn't enough pressure . So maybe it’s the weak old pump that I put back on . Still waiting to hear from broken tractor about the new pump they sent me . Whether or not it’s any good . Maybe I’m losing pressure internally. That’s why I’m going to have to bring it to case .
It’s always ran beautiful and I haven’t done anything to change it .
I think the pistons are identical , the one only difference between the pressure regulator and the pressure relief is there is two springs in the pressure regulator but I haven’t changed anything . I don’t know exactly how the pressure regulator works . From what I’ve learned by my experience the pressure pushes down on the piston and allows flow to the radiator because when I put the springs in , I get no flow to the radiator . Maybe my old pump is pushing but is weak . No clue !
And the hose that goes to the gauge is just below the highest point that the piston can reach so when the piston is pushed down far enough the gauge can be read . I’m just guessing at this because to be honest , I don’t have a clue . I wish someone could explain how the two valves work because it would make it easier to understand the system .
