    John Deere 550G LT refinish decals

    I have refinished a few case tractors and got complete decal kits online. I can't seem to find a decal kit for a JD 550G LT dozer. Any one have a link to a decal kit for this machine? Thanks, TT

    Volvo N12 dump truck parts

    Thanks for the help. Are there any online dealers that have the microfiche online? I sometimes buy parts online using the dealer microfiche part numbers. I know I need the drag bar and two tie rod ends that connect the front end to the pitman arm. I also need some engine gaskets too. How can you...

    Volvo N12 dump truck parts

    I came across a volvo N12 for sale that is model year 1987. The truck looks like it is decent shape. My concern is getting parts for it if something breaks. I don't see many parts available online. Would a volvo dealer have parts for a truck this old? How reasonable are the prices? From what I...

    Case 207D engine oil & water mixing

    Both the regular Peak and Prestone ELC coolants say low silicate on the back of the bottle. I thought they would still need the SCA recharge. Am I misunderstanding what type of low-silicate coolant you are referring to? The tractor has been running great and both the oil and coolant are nice...

    Case 580D (207D engine) black smoke

    Thank you for the help. I had the charge pipe off it and all is clean. The radial and axial play on the turbine shaft is excellent. I wish is was just a comp piston ring causing the problem. I will look at the timing this weekend. If it looks fine then I will pull the injectors and have them...

    Case 580D (207D engine) black smoke

    You are thinking along the lines that I am. The turbo is perfect. It has zero end to end play. The radial is a few thousands. The comp outlet is clean as a could be. No oil leaking at the comp piston ring seal. It is a pump or injector problem. I think it is the pump because it does not have too...

    Case 580D (207D engine) black smoke

    Ever since I got this 580D turbo it would black smoke too much during start up. It also has black smoke during accel and decel. Way more than the any 580 I have ever seen. I am going to rebuild the injection pump with a kit from usdiesel.com Is there an o-ring or something else that would cause...

    Case 207D engine oil & water mixing

    Thank you all for helping with this tractor. The parts came in on Friday and we started at 8:30am Saturday morning installing all new liners and bearings. Cleaning everything was the longest part. We had the liners and rods in around lunch time so we went out for a nice long lunch. We then put...

    Trailering a 530CK or 580CK

    I agree. Federal law states any vehicle with a trailer weight over 10K requires CDL Class A. Is was curious if the truck & trailer is a gooseneck then do you get a 5th wheel endorsement.

    Trailering a 530CK or 580CK

    I agree that is a lot of weight for a 3/4 ton. I personally wouldn't do it because it would be overweight and wouldn't want to pay the possible fine. All you guys pulling backhoes with pickup trucks, did you get your CDL Class A license with the pickup truck and 5th wheel trailer? The trailer...

    Case 580D / E / early K gear oil. GL-5 in the transaxle?

    Is it safe to put 80W90 GL-5 gear oil in the transaxle? The manual says GL-4, but that is an old spec. The GL-5 is newer but contains additives that attack yellow metals (bronze, brass,etc) which contain copper. Is there any yellow metal in the gear box for the transmission? I am guessing...

    Case 207D engine oil & water mixing

    The Prestone Extended life FAQS page http://www.prestone.com/learn_more/frequently_asked_questions says the following: "Prestone® Antifreeze/Coolant is completely safe for use in both foreign and domestic vehicles. For those consumers who would feel more comfortable using a phosphate-free...

    Case 207D engine oil & water mixing

    I called VIP Auto that is listed as a seller of the Prestone Heavy Duty antifreeze. Of course, they never heard of it. I decided to just go with regular Prestone antifreeze / distilled water, and add NAPA Kool 4056 treatment. The NAPA stuff is DCA2. The machine takes 3.5 gallons of coolant and...

    Case 207D engine oil & water mixing

    It is also highly likely that the antifreeze that was put in it with the new engine was used. I think their shop has a drum of used antifreeze that they keep from engine changes. I am going to put in Prestone Heavy Duty that has an initial SCA charge in it along with distilled water. It is too...

    Case 207D engine oil & water mixing

    Thank you for posting the link. I will take a look. In this case it was the camshaft side of liner #2. I am not sure that I would have saw the leaking between the piston skirt and liner with the camera. Dropping the pan was easy and the gasket is cheap, but I know I will want that camera again...

    Case 207D engine oil & water mixing

    That is an interesting article. I found out the history of the engine. The tractor sat for 12 years after the engine was put in it. The pistons have zero scuff marks in them. The head has a fresh valve job. The bearings are like new and are cut .010" / .010". The hone marks in the cyl look just...

    Case 207D engine oil & water mixing

    I started cleaning up what I thought was light rust on the other three liners. As I dug into the rust I found it is worse than I thought. All 4 liners are bad. The pistons are perfect since it didn't run long with the bad liners. It needs all 4 liners replaced. They all rotted in the same spot...

    Case 207D engine oil & water mixing

    The interesting thing about the damaged liner is that there is a 1.5" wide strip that runs all the way up/down on that liner where it rusted. You can see it in the picture. It is shinier than the rest of the liner. It is like that portion was not coated properly when manufactured. The other...
