I believe I used a 5/8 belt when I replaced my water pump and fan. Also, I put 2 additional around the jack shaft going to the pump so if I shred another belt I have another ready to go.

I could help you out but the tax on importing steel products from Canada could be a killer.

Was going to respond with something but decided against it.

Mine exhibited the same symptoms last year, in my case it was the filter, it was clogged. I also had no power. I drained the tank and flushed it out with mineral spirits and blew out the going to the lift pump. Refilled the tank, loosened the fitting at the inlet of the injector pump and pumped leve...

Always good to have a new source and the price is certainly reasonable.

Yes, 1/8" NPT. Mine was a bear to get out. Stripped the hex out, had to remove valve and drill it out and re-tap. Not my write-up. I got it from a number of posts from Roy and I've hung onto the information. Mine needed to be adjusted because I was having the same issues you are having now. Good luck.

Look at the clutch control valve, 20-7. Also here is a write up from Roy Suomi about getting the pressures and adjustments correct fo the HLR. I know it's long but it may be helpful, I know it was when I was having issues. Roy Suomi Re: JD 450 Clutch Adjustment in reply to Tweeter, 11-19-2006 16:50:...

I've rebuilt my pump, mouse turds. You can remove the cover without taking the pump off. If you remove the pump you want to get all the marks lined up before doing it. Motor needs to be a TDC with pin installed in flywheel and marks on pump lined up, To see the marks inside the pump remove the timin...

Could the large piece of metal been a piece of plastic? When I replaced my water pump because of a bad bearing I noticed that my impeller was made of plastic. WHen the bearing went bad fan hit radiator and shroud which trashed the fan of course but it also broke off all the impeller blades. You may ...

Mine did/does the same thing. As you have done, I've replaced some of the injector leak off lines and fittings but it took some time for the leaked fuel to get burned off. DId you replace the fittings as well? That is where most of mine was coming from. It is/was leaking at the ferrule fittings, I s...

I, generally, don't buy vehicles or machines buy their age. I prefer things pre computer/circuit boards. I try to judge things by the condition they're in. gregjo1948 Agreed. I like working on the older per computer stuff as well, to a point. My exception is vehicles with carburetors, I hate them w...

Stan, I know what you mean. I was involved in offshore boat racing from ~92 - 2003. APBA Super cat class and then OSS as a technical inspector .....very expensive. It's was said if you couldn't walk into a bathroom and flush a hundred dollar bill down the toilet you didn't belong in offshore boats r...

Not a problem, too cold outside to be doing any knuckle busting right now.

B Town, Happy new year to you also.

Thanks for the advise. Do you by chance have a PN for the NAPA starter?

Of course now that it's cold my starter, more specifically the drive, is starting to act up. It will spin the motor over a couple revolutions then kick-out or de-clutch and spin. Since I got the loader the starter never sounded what I would call strong. Some one at some point had it rebuilt since it...

Hydraulic Oil and Diesel is not a good idea. There are a number of companies that make hydraulic fluid that has the low viscosity index you are looking for at those temperatures. It is generally a Military spec fluid, Castrol is one company that we use that offers a fluid that flows at low temperatu...
