Now that you mention it, there is a vent hole on the block, and I know on another Detroit I have seen blowby coming out of it, I think that a certain amount is normal.

I will be leaving Thursday afternoon for the swap meet in LeSeuer, MN, anyone else going?
If you are and need any parts brought there, let me know before Noon on Thursday.

You can get a replacement tach from Deere, but it will be the later style, and for a wheel tractor, only good for hours and PRM.

The entire clutch must be assembled and on the final drive before any adjustments can be done. Trying to do it otherwise will not work. The gauge is a reference point based on the face of the brake drum.

Lavoy

The ends of the gauge rest on the face of the drum, and you adjust the fingers until they just clear the spot marked STEERING on the tool.

With the same equipment, probably a thousand heavier, loader maybe a little more.

They are hard to come by, I have been planning on making new couplers and the splined shaft, but just have not had time. If yours is bad, let me know, maybe I can get one done quickly.
