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...

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...

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.

So the JD 7130 6 cylinder model I have has suddenly started substantially losing power..... does have some blowby but not an unsusal amount for 4000+ hours of hard work. Boost PSI is 10-11 at full load which seems low to me... Is the turbo bad? Or are the rings bad or somthing else? Deere just...

Straw bale fell on my roof and did this to the back unsupported part. Curious if it's a cheap part... just plastic lid or if it's gonna cost a fortune and I should patch it. Thoughts?

So my M5N-091 works great generally other than the stupid emissions stuff and the weak loader control stick that falls apart but overall it's great. Only issue currently is it's gotten a bit jumpy but I believe it's only with the clutch so I'm curious if it's somthing whare they need to do...

What would cause the PTO on a Ts100 new holland tractor to keep stopping or not want to start and can I bypass whatever it is? Sometimes you pull the button 20 times for it to go.... Sometimes it stays running and Sometimes not. Running pto pumps it'll run for hours then randomly stop or stop in...

Did anyone ever figure a way to force a regen on the newer tractors? It's always stupid times it wants Regens... hard to move apple bins or do hay rides or anything stuck at 2100 RPM. So it gets to sit there for a 20 min regen at 2100. It's got probably 10 hours already just sitting doing...

So last year I experimented with waste oil burning as I have tons from tractors, nearby fast food place and a nearby garage. I modified a regular burner and it worked OK with used cooking oil being the best in that one. I finally bought a clean burn burner with the intentions on putting it on...

So they did the recall to the DEF system and now occasionally it will show the P-20EE error code. It doesn't do anything other than show the code but I'm curious why and what it means?

So one of my older engines that's on a water pump, (International engine this time not the perkins one) has an extremely hard to bleed fuel pump if it's ran out of fuel. It's a stationary pump so this does happen from time to time if I forget to check it. I tried many things to bleed it but...

So this tractor stopped making boost and sofar nothing has been that AHa that's why. Intake had a section of bad gasket and was leaking but that didn't help, turbo is spinning and exhaust manifold is not leaking. I only noticed one thing which can reduce efficiency but shouldn't make it lose...

So long story short I'm a bit of a tinkerer and also a farmer so have to know many skills anyways.... I needed a new cooling unit to keep my cranberry room around 40-50F for packing time and for cold storage of certain things that don't like the temp of the normal coolers. I found a great deal...

Nothing too serious just odd..... the belt that runs the alternator and AC pump is screaming sometimes but not always. 99% sure it's that one as the other one runs the fan and water pump and Is pretty unlikely to slip. I think it's slipping on the AC pump and what's odd is by the AC pump there...

So around the farm there is a ton of repairs and matinance to do of various things. One recent thing is pump issues with the submersible pump in my resivoir that feeds the greenhouse. Recently replaced a failing pump but that's not what was the issue... If I had a full wide open valve way over...

We had a clutch put in our old ts100 over the winter as the previous one was worn. Lots of hours and it's 3rd clutch but it has been used for alot of digging too but nothing crazy just alot of heavy loading. When it came back from repair it had a very grabby clutch. I figured it would wear in...

So on my farm I use an irrigation reel a fair bit, it's efficient and easy to move. Biggest problem is most of the farm is on a high hill and the water source is down at the bottom. No trouble to push it up there but it's really hard to get that 100-125PSI I want for the gun on the reel. So a...

Last winter I turbo charged my perkins 6354.4... Basically because google told me incorrectly that by it's serial number that it had a turbo from factory. Once I realized that I just got a few extra guages to make sure I don't cook anything. There aren't a ton of differences between the 2...

Lets avoid any politics but I am genuinely curious if any emissions systems are actually better for the environment. Some seem maybe and some I can't see how.... I am genuinely curious of this. For example my forklift is just an expensive fuel filter and otherwise nothing weird to cause...

We have been fixing up this old white 2-105 tractor and bit by bit we're getting everything buttoned up. New issue though, when you put the 3 point down it just comes back up when you let go of the lever and so does the lever... why is this? Otherwise it's a good tractor, old stuff was so...
