Hello to everyone, i am a new member to this forum, but i have found much help in the past in various posts.
I Just purchased a 955 L. I dont know the date of the machine, there is a small plate welded on the engine side of the "dashboard" that reads 8Y8710. Is that the serial number?
The loader has been sitting for two years due to cylinder head failure, combustion was leaking in the cooland circuit. The previous owner took the head out but never got it fixed.
I Had a look at the head, i can see cracks on the three cylinders between the valves but i dont know if they go all the way to the water chanel.
I took the precombustion Chambers out to check for holes or cracks but they seem o. K.
Could it be that Just the gasket is blown from overheating due to coolant leak from radiator/ hose and it Will work Just fine with a new one?
If the cracks are all the way to the water channels can they be welded, or they Will not hold?
Monday i Will get a semi gasket set so i can mount the engine and transport the loader to my house.
Please share your opinion with me and any info about this machine Will be aprreciated
Forgive me for any grammar or terminology mistakes.
