There was some sand in the crevices in the bottom that had turned nearly solid. Broke it up and washed it out, then rinsed it with alcohol and diesel.

I went thru a batch of the $20 lift pumps too. Went with an OEM pump and was still having problems. Intermittent loss of power, never did totally quit, just power would fall off and run rough, then it would come back and be fine. Ended up pulling the tank, flushing it, and then found the pickup...

I checked the joints themselves, (Thanks for the tip Hugo!), they were tight. All the play was in the holes the studs go through. I elected to just replace the complete assemblies. Little more cost, but the end result is now the machine will travel in a straight line without constant...

I have had 4 GF1800's. Refreshed and sold 3. Everyone, without fail, the steering was sloppy. Kubota used very simple ends on the tie rods. Not tapered, just like a bolt from a ball joint thru a flat plate. TIghted the nut instal a cotter pin and done. All of them have worked loose. I've...

Last spring I did some work on a Ford skid loader that had a small fire. SOme of the hydraulic hardlines had gotten hot enough it melted the braze for the ferrel. I used those compression fitttings to repair. Cut the original line square, cleaned it up with some emery paper and put the new...

Update: I found this thread about the Dynamo to Alternator upgrade. https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/alternator-upgrade-b7311-b7324-options.43436/ I had all of the parts required except for the 4 pin relay, so I used a 5 pin relay and socket, just cap and stow the extra wire...

Thanks.. Very helpful. at least I know how it is supposed to work. My alternator is at the hospital right now, should have it back in a couple of days. It is an internal regulator type. Chasing the wires, the original sky blue wires from the dynamo have been used to get the field and the sense...

I got my hands on the installation instructions for the B7324 conversion kit. But no diagram that shows the wire diagram. Instructions only show how to route the harness.

Thanks I have the WSM. No info on the alternator conversion

The previous owner removed the dynamo and installed an internally regulated altenator. No idea what the output amps are. I'm guessing more than the OEM dynamo. Regardless, it is charging the battery per my handheld voltmeter. The charge light on the dash does not work. Does anyone have a wiring...

I'll do pictures as I go. I still have a couple more times to use it chopping leaves and yard clean-up before it gets too cold to work outside. Everything works very well (980 hours on the clock) so no need to get into the engine or HST. Lots of cleaning and painting.

I found a replacement pump on Amazon for $15. Holdwell brand IIRC. Had to drill one of the mount holes a little bigger for my application, but works fine. Key on and "tick-tick-tick".

This one (of the 4 I've owned) is by far the best. And 4x4. My plan for the winter is to pretty much strip it down and refinish it from the frame up. One thing I'd like to get is the serial number label. I've talked to dealers about getting a replacement, and the local ones don't seem to want to...

I had a D722 the rack was stuck from setting. Pulled the pump and nozzles had them tested. Shop went thru the pump and checked nozzles. $150 later it fired right up and runs just fine.

I spent a few hours digging into the wiring. Visual inspection of insulation, checking resistance in each wire end to end, checking for opens and shorts to ground. No defects. Took all of the switches out of the circuits with jumpers, including the key switch. Ran for 20 minutes, no problem...

Thanks, I'll go back through the wiring again and double check the grounds. The combi box is brand new, the original had zero output to the shutdown solenoid. The original shutdown is locked solid, won't move at all. I'm guessing it shorted and smoked the stop circuit in the box. If I could...

I think I fixed it. No password needed. Anyone with the link should be ok.

Have not done a meter, but it makes a 12v test light blink.

Thanks-- linked to google drive. It looks like it's up now.

I've checked the wires, replaced the fuel pump, WSM states 20ohms resistance, had 3ohms. And a new shutoff solenoid. Starts and runs just fine, then the solenoid starts rapid cycling causing a miss and power loss. Sometimes at idle, it will shut the engine off. Then it will be fine for a while...
