Hi All,
I'm new to orange tractors, and diesels in general. Most of my wrenching experience is on race cars and old red iron.
I've just picked up a late model B7100, and the D750 in it has a nasty rod knock. Since it's racecar season I figured I'd never get any machine shop to squeeze me in until the fall, so I sourced a used D850 and it's being delivered to me here on Monday.
I've ordered a full gasket kit for it, but my question is this: Besides replacing any obviously bad gaskets, replacing fluids, greasing fittings, etc, are there any other common problem areas or things I should check while I'm putting this thing back together?
