Out of interest What are the symptoms?I've an orbital unit worn out in my T 6080 any suggestions where I could get one other than a main dealer.
Thanks
I've a weigh cell gone bad in the diet feeder. Where would I look apart from the main dealer for a weigh cell?. Digistar is what's on a sticker.
She is Very hard to control on the road the steering wanders a lotOut of interest What are the symptoms?
All the ball joints and track rod ends ok on the axle? A orbital unit will be a lot of money so you'd want to be sure there's a problem, it would be quite rare for one to give bother I would think. Seals on the piston of the ram??She is Very hard to control on the road the steering wanders a lot
The rams give trouble on the tms anywayShe is Very hard to control on the road the steering wanders a lot
Head for pj in Lanesboro,skimming it wont put out the light and you will be guaranteed it will be right.Jd 3350 ,I have it 16 years blowing up through the rad/ expansion tank. Tried the simple stuff no joy ,took off the head, fairly obvious gasket failure.
Tractor was running fine, valves and valve seats look ok ,don't think it was overheating.
Is skimming the head compulsory or would a good cleaning and new gaskets suffice.
Keeping the tractor but workload would be around 300hrs/year .

Not just 50 series,most deeres to be honest,known as a stretch bolt.always replace bolts with gasketThere was an item in the workshop section of classic tractor this month about repetitive head gasket failure on a 50 series Deere. The problem was they were reusing the head bolts when they're supposed to be changed each time the head is off.
Yes same thing.is a rocker beam axle the same thing as a bogey axle?
Reading a brochure stating that x type of trailer comes on rocker beam axles as opposed full beam axles with leaf springs...
I've changed both arms already and the ball joints are all good.I think it's a common problem in the t6000 seriesThe rams give trouble on the tms anyway
Oil from the exhaust, best case scenario the engine needs a good hard workout, next the valve stem seals have gone hard, after that a broken piston oil control ring on one or more pistons...
Recipe for oil up the exhaust, if you could use most of its horsepower safely for a day it’d come right, the liners are probably glazed from gentle work. Problem is you need to keep reasonably brisk work to them to make sure it doesn’t come back. Diesel engines hate idling. If you really wanted to you could remove the pistons and machine then to take a second oil control ring, this can cost you up to 5% of your HP in friction.I do remember it happening before and it cleared away after a bit of roadwork. It happened this time using the logsplitter running about 1000 rpm.
Could you not get the head skimmed and leave all else as isAhh look lads, it's not the skimming itself that I'm avoiding ,I've been through the process too many times over the years.
But anytime I left a head in for skimming , it ended up with reconditioning of injectors and re-grinding of valves and valve seats injector nozzles etc-etc.
And if I'm honest, I can't say that I noticed much improvement.
I’d consider skimming important especially if the engine has overheated. A head gasket and labour would cost more than a skim. It’d be like fitting new brake pads to scored brake discs.Ahh look lads, it's not the skimming itself that I'm avoiding ,I've been through the process too many times over the years.

Probably just needs a good days work, those engines are usually dry but they do like to be worked under load. Have also seen it when a very high spec oil is used and it throws it up the exhaust. Once the correct grade is used it stops it! Head gasket failure is rare enough on these so I wouldn’t be rushing to do it.
The 3600 Ford used do the same on the log splitter. A bit of hard work used burn off the oil and clean it up. The engine was clapped out in it and has since been rebuilt.I do remember it happening before and it cleared away after a bit of roadwork.
