Well shoot... Almost a productive day. I think the peened pin might have to wait for later. I have no idea how much block material is under the pinhole. Also I have been wanting to install my coolant heater to go with the oil pan heater I put on a while ago. So changing my coolant back to regular et...

Hi metalmender, what part of the panhandle? Sorry to hear you have two machines to worry about, judging by your signature we might be a lot alike, more toys than we can keep up with. I also thought this stuff sounded great, extended life and no additives to monitor, sign me up. I should have known,...

That is most likely a better repair than JB weld. I have to take some older buick 350 exhaust manifolds in to a machine shop in a couple days. I'll ask about that. I am concerned about making it bigger as I can't tell how bad the flaw is on the inside is if it is a flaw. I need to get a picture of i...

So what rigs do use extended life coolant? Semi trucks? And what kind of radiator do they have? I suspect aluminum. I remember reading in some forums after searching on this and deciding on using it. I remember seeing pictures of rusted cylinder liners and that is what I wanted to avoid. I did not k...

I would say gas vs diesel are NOT the same JD shows 5 different #s for gas and NO # and NO longer available for diesel That's what I thought. Fortunately the hole is super small and most likely able to be plugged with JB weld. I have searched some of the dismantling yards back east. I only see the ...

This thread made me head out to the shop in my bathrobe and a pair of slippers in the snow early this morning to see what I put in my 450. :shock: Thankfully my only neighbor can't see me. I see I put zerex ELC coolant in with well water. I saw some info on pitted liners and ELC coolant last summer ...

Looks like JB weld it is. It is a very tiny casting flaw. A hole smaller than the diameter of a pencil lead. I watched the video and the follow up video. Glad to hear it worked for that guy. His crack in the block was huge. I am still wondering if it is common to have the same block for gas and dies...

Sounds great Stan. I didn't want to talk apples on an orange forum. :D My JD400 has a pinhole in the diesel block. It appears to be a casting flaw. I have looked on the JD parts finder site and near as I can tell the diesel block is the same as the gas block. Sometimes the parts finder site has so m...

Proper forum suggestion for my JD400 backhoe
Along with my 450C crawler, I have a 69 JD400 backhoe. Do any of you guys have a suggestion for a good forum or a site for talking about that machine? It has wheels. No plans for tracks just yet.

Ugh, fires... Last August on the12th I called in a fire at 4AM on the mountain top 6 miles away as the crow flies. For 11 hours they worked it with 5 planes and 2 heli's. Single digit humidity and 95-100 degrees out. They knocked it back to nearly nothing. Then the wind kicked up the next morning. T...

oldmetalmender, we are all in this together. My 450C needed this adjustment made to it and I did a lot of research before doing it. The hardest art for me was getting the pipe plug removed, it got rounded out so I had to remove the top of the trans to get the block off so I could machine it out. Th...
