- Thread starter Jon G
- Start date
Thanks Butch
This is my plan
I need to clean up the garage as its packed full right now then i will haul it in and start to tear it apart.
My previous comment about the fan belt being off causing this problem. after thinking about this I am unsure if this is true as the fan belt might of been taken off when the head was removed back at work.
I am itching to dig right into this build
thanks for looking

thanks for lookingJon, I just brought home a BX2200 with the d905 in it (purchase price $1500). Low compression is what I was told by the seller, but it cranks over and shows signs of life. I***8217;m m interested to see how your project was coming along and wanted to stay in touch through the journey of fixing these engines. I took off the loader and engine cowlings today (luckily the loader wasn't insanely heavy). I have everything stripped down and I believe I***8217;m almost ready to pull it out. Coolant looks good on this end, interested to see how everything looks once the heads come off. This will be my first diesel also. I figure there will be questions to be had. Take care, Jagger.

Just to be certain you know of this source for a free WSM for your BX2200.

Dave,
Thank you for that. I had the opportunity to pull the engine out today, and start to tear into it. I wanted to share my findings and get a second opinion on what I'm looking at. The clearances between the rocker arms and valves looks good and tight. I proceeded to take the head off to get a further look at what is going on. Mind the fact that I bought this tractor from an old farmer who said he did a compression test and found that the "cylinders were low, and new motor from Kubota runs 6K, so its just not worth going any further". I now have the head off, and still haven't found anything alarming. Pistons look good as well as the cylinder walls. Now I'm not seeing any beautiful cross hatching in the cylinders but I am seeing a seeing a slight bit. It looks good and tight and I'm just wondering where to go from here. Ive attached the photos of my findings. The pictures are before any cleaning has taken place. Let me know if I need to provide better pictures or test anything that comes to mind.
Warm regards,
Jaggerdtexas

The generator is worth something.. hard to find the older ones made in England.. alot of the new light tower generator ends are made in china....
If it's cheaper to fix then buying one for 1800 or more... what they sell for in south Florida you might reconsider selling it.. easy to find running d905 engines as they made millions of um..
I've fixed worse.. well not a kubota never seen one do that..
