Metal noise could be water pump, trying wiggling the fan blades with the belts loose and see if there is any play.
Could be clutch or reverser slipping. IF it is that bad, you are not doing it any good even in first gear, better find out what the problem is before any damage is done.

Gary,
Your spam blocker must be knocking out my e-mails, I have gotten at least 3 back undelivered.
I should have most of the parts you sent me ? about on hand. Check your governor weights, they should not have enough slop to touch the gear washer or no washer I am guessing.

If you have a reverer, there is no clutch, and it is the isolator that has gone to pot.

Gary,
Check your profile, and make sure you have the feature enabled. Even so, I would not doubt that your spam program is knocking them out, mine does, and I no longer get notifications either.

Tim,
Some stuff I don't have, but might know where to get it cheaper, just let me know.

Gary, The cross shaft is always a little rough, if you take the spring off, it is smooth, don't know why. The noise you are hearing isn't detonation like the timing is too far advanced? Did you get the camshaft retainer bolted in, or have they come loose? Main bearing caps on correct? Kind of grabbi...

Tim,
If you can take them back, I have those pieces for about $30.

Nothing new available as far as the whole dist, but there should be nothing bad that is not fixable. Re-time the engine with a timing light in case the dist slipped a little and screwed it up. Replace points and condenser if you have not already done so. Copper core wires, not carbon? Coil is good a...

My guess is someone thought or was told that they could not get filters anymore, so they just bypassed them. I would definitely hook them back up, injection pumps do not like dirt and crud. If it has already been run this way for very long, you may be looking at a pump rebuild. Looks like a decent o...

Bill,
Welcome to the site, congrats on being a survivor, best therapy is something old and green on tracks.

On the subject of dealers and serial numbers, I have to agree with Digitup. I got a call from a gentleman that was kind of distraught because he had a crawler that his dealer was feeding him some huge line about how it was not a 350. They told him some wild story about the crawler being a 1010, or e...

Your cam probably already has a drive connector on it, if not, it is easy to add. All in all, it will be cheaper to just add a valve to run the 3PT than to try and add another complete system. The return out of the main valve is pipe thread, so easy to tap into. Just get a valve that will handle abo...

They are a little harder to put on a loader, but not that much. Main difference is if it is a factory Deere loader, there is no room for the cylinder bracket, so you need to fabricate an upper cylinder mount to weld to the LH loader tower. Only thing else you need to do is add a valve like Stan said...
