It became quite an ordeal, we bought this tractor for almost nothing and it had been neglected bad. The dirt was from fuel filters so old they were half stuck. I ordered a rebuild kit for the injector pump as the top vanes in the transfer pump section are bad and I broke one.... all gaskets...

Theres a place nearby with a ton of perkins parts so I basically decided to try fixing it myself, I love learning new things, useful skills even if I screw it up it's already not working right. So main things, couple bad Orings on the top cap, Timing was set a bit retarded back from stock and...

It leaks bad and it hunts up and down is the main thing the injection pump that is.

Finally managed to upload

So the old girl runs good and now just buttoning up leaks and it's very smokey engine. It's fun to roll coal but it's not helpful for efficiency although it's still fantastic on fuel but it needs some tuning and I'm unsure whare to start... Timing? Fuel settings inside the pump? Injectors...

Green Diamond they are called here.... same ones that when we had a Lemon 5083En that fell apart were like "That sucks we can sell you new" lasted 1700 hours. Meanwhile I have a 2350 and 2355 that have 10K hours and running great. I'm not sure how you would contact John deere themselves in...

This got so much more interesting! We were talking to different dealers and such.... Basically Engine just needs a head gasket and deere made up an insane cost and said it needed an engine so we would buy new..... soooo me deere is now at the kubota dealer getting fixed lol.

So we bought this old tractor a year ago it had a bad head gasket sending oil into coolant and a bunch of leaks... crazy cheap and literally..... poor matinance all around. I keep finding things and step by step it's become a really great tractor. Fuel pumps turned up so it's running like 150...

It's a 540 shaft that spins 1000. They do that for low load things because you can idle the tractor to run it.

I have to look it up the reverse pto slot exists for specific things for loading grain I guess. It was an option apparently. I think the 540 spline was because they ran a 540 implement and it let it just sit there and idle to run it. It's incredible it's so specialized I have 2 pto slots...

I was very confused I put the stub in the other slot and hooked up a pump and I was like..... reverse????? Why would anyone ever want reverse. I just assumed it was 540

Its strait single set inside I think I'm stuck with 1000 ....

No but there aren't any unaccounted for. Not that I can find

Wondering if this tractor has any way to switch to 540 vs 1000 pto. For some dumb reason it has 1000 and 1000 reverse. Not sure if it can do 540 or not.
