    955L Crank No Start

    Fair play to Nige for getting to the bottom of it:). We’ve all done things like that (well I have) and there’s no shame in admitting it as it makes us all aware of the obvious sometimes.

    I think you’re biggest problem here is age of the machine. That pipe work hasn’t seen the light of day in many years I guess. A build up of oil and dirt has most likely corroded much of that lot. Assume any pipes or fittings you need to remove to get to the culprit may well break or cause...

    Old D5 blowing water like sperm whale

    I doubt you’ve cracked a head or a block as you sound like you like the old tractor and haven’t abused it. Probably a much simpler explanation like combustion chambers corroded or water pump.

    How many have run into the loose transmission ?

    Cat D9H years ago used to come loose. I don’t think it ever had the crown wheel and pinion set right or cross shaft. They seemed happy to keep putting transmissions back into it though

    Cat D5 Track Issues

    Oh heck Tony,I didn’t know that. It’s been a couple of years I guess since if needed anything off her. An end of an era I suppose. I hope she is well. Good to here young James is still up there
