Oh too bad about your drive. Please let us know what went wrong as we are rebuilding both ours and using your pics to assist. I loved the way you blocked off the higher gears! Hope your repair is a simple one.

Ed Christopher at Crawler Heaven is whom I was referring to. I must be a little Bulldozer crazy with that last post and all the poor spelling. I will try to post more pictures as we go now that I have it figured out how to capture a link. Has anyone ever painted one of these things? I was going to u...

Two cents from a newbie

When we were out in the woods for those four days trying to get our machine running I could not for the life of me get it bled. I finally got the injection pump rebuilt. Even after the injection pump, a new fuel pump, new fuel and filter, she was really tough to get bled. The only way I could get fu...

White Exaust Smoke

My 350 engine is a diesel. Its a 1961 and it really smokes white. It doesn't appear to have oil in the coolant or vice versa. The injection pump is new and timed correctly. If the return line to the tank were plugged, would this cause a lot of white exaust? I was thinking of replacing the return lin...

More problems today.

I am hard into the drives today. Things are worst than I thought but if I get the drives rebuilt I should be able to get it back together. They are toast from bearings to seals to clutch disks to throw out bearings. A few more questions... Is this the best place for parts? I got the clutches on EBay...

Coolant in oil. White smoke

Sounds like you may have a bad head gasket. Not a bad job, you can do it in the tractor from what I have read. Make sure you align the timing marks on the injection pump window and bring the engine to TDC before you remove the injection pump. I would strongly recommend the shop manual. It has helped...
