Ray III, Just a bit of info for reference. Your bolt guy is a bit off base. Maybe all he stocks are the same, but they are available in various grades, finishes, and materials. A307/Grade 2 (common grade in hardware and building supply stores), Grade 5, and Grade 8. You can see some choices in the M...

Are you using the 7 way blade type connectors? That is the one I expect to see on that type trailer. I would print off the picture of the 7 way TRADITIONAL Vehicle and Trailer connectors, from the link shinnery posted, to use as a guide. The positions of the functions are the same for the RV wiring ...

I found the wires for a brake controller were not all in the harness of a 2002 Silverado when I put a controller in it. I don't know about your 2015. Does it have a trailing package? Many of those could add brake controllers using plug in adapters to the factory harness. I am guessing you are adding...

Some say adding a hole is bad, will make an engine run cold. I have not seen a problem with any I drilled holes in. They cleared of air when filled and I have not seen that they run any cooler. That's been the results I've had, your results may vary.

Sounds like the level is about what I would expect to see. For a petcock to bleed air from the system it would really need to be at the high point, like the top of the head. On the left side of the engine, I expect you are looking at the drain (low point) for the cooling jacket of the engine, simila...

Looks like maybe item 8 in this drawing from the parts catalog. https://partscatalog.deere.com/jdrc/sid ... /pgId/3960

I would expect it might push out more than 1/2 gallon if you filled it to the top. look at it cold and see where the level is now. My 450E will be 1 to 1-1/2' down when checked cold. Is the radiator cap the right length for the radiator neck? What pressure rating?

You may not see coolant in the oil, depending on where the leak is, if there is one. Putting a pressure check on the cooling system is a good idea. How full are you filling the radiator? Did you leave it down a couple inches in the tank? Along with some possible air locking, as dtoots1 mentioned, if...

If it won't turn fully over freely, that is not good. If there is nothing obvious to be seen; it sounds like you need to pull the head to see what is wrong, if you decide to keep going with that engine. Perkins can be a pain as far as getting parts and can be pricey as has been mentioned. Hopefully ...

Are you calling the intake manifold the air intake cover? Or is there something ahead of the intake manifold? I don't see the air intake in your pictures, I'm guessing it is on the opposite side of the engine from the pictures you posted. Any oil would have to get past any valves that were closed an...

Make sure your hose is as large in ID as the tube ID or you will restrict flow. It is likely a #10 (1"wrench for fitting nut), #12 (1-1/4" wrench for fitting nut), or #16 (1-1/2" wrench for fitting nut). Those are the common wrench sizes for those hose/tube fitting sizes. HTH

Welcome to the board. Looking at the serial number you posted a bit more studying needs to be done as that is not a 350 serial number. If the description below doesn't match up to your machine you might have a struggle finding the right parts at times. Machine serial number breakdown (T5E3M 0694781)...

I would start by doing the easy things first. Do every adjustment for the clutch, clutch valve and HLR by the book and in the order given. Check the linkages closely, something may be worn out or loose as well as out of adjustment. Next after that would be looking for a hang up in the hydraulics of ...

Jason,

On line T24778 appears to be a drawing number now. SN 142199 and prior use cylinder AT21866 - NLA, SN 142200 and up use AT36885 - NLA. The Kit for both cylinders is AT27076 and that shows as a good number in the $50.00 plus range.

Apparently JDParts will be making some changes again this year, see the note in the sign in box of the photo below. This message, about access to JDParts being stopped in 2020, started appearing a couple weeks ago when I signed in. The way it reads we will still have access to the catalogs but for t...
