Hello, Glad to be here...

Some more pictures. The CAV injection pump. I was surprised to see that the fuel return comes from the engine back to the fuel pump instead of the fuel tank.
JD, thanks for the pictures of yours. I see where my chassis serial number plate is supposed to be. Mine is gone, just the rivet holes. Is the tach cable driven? I see something coming through the floor. Haven't gotten my service manual yet. Its lost in the mail.

Here are some pics of my seat mount and the hoe I have on my machine... Hope this helps I do plan on replacing the seat itself but I like the mount it provides some bounce and the ability to rotate to run the hoe.... Sure beats climbing out and into another seat.

Thanks so much, those were exactly what I needed. I am wondering if the backhoe I have is the correct one for the crawler. The seat setup was probably the same, but the backhoe on mine has the footrests up high. They will be hitting you in the knees when sitting on the seat. Does not have the fold down seat. Not a big deal as I won't be using the backhoe much, if any. Anyone know what a #93 backhoe would be worth??? I would include all the plumbing!!! I have a JD 2155 tractor with a #10 detachable backhoe and a #75 loader on it. Thanks, again.

I spoke to the man I bought the machine from today. He had the engine serial number plate that he forgot to give me. Can anyone tell me if the number can tell the year of the engine?
Engine #3152D161085.
He also said it was a 1974 with a serial #350AA127322. But that does not compute.

I doubt you will get the number to work out unless you can find a serial number list of the European built crawlers.

Thanks Lavoy. I thought I saw somewhere here that the "D" in the engine serial number meant built in Dubuqe? I think I spelled that right Having a CAV pump would mean otherwise. I have a 2155 AG tractor that has what looks like about the same pump.

I think that may be a European engine as well. Deere has a huge engine plant in France I believe, can't think of it right now.

I think this will sound odd to say. Maybe someone has an explanation for it. This machine will turn real well in reverse but not in forward. It turns better to the right than the left, and that is in either direction. I am going to remove the belly pan and give it a good bath before I remove the steering clutch covers and try to adjust. Or, just see what everything looks like. Any suggestions?????????
