    Can I swap out Yanmar diesel with another type/brand engine?

    Hi All, I hope you all are doing well. I haven't been on in a while, too many projects I guess. Well I have started on a new project (I thought I would learn better one day but I guess not). I have a 2003 John Deere 1600 wam (wide area mower/bat wing mower) mower that had a Yanmar 4 cylinder...

    Case 1155D Drive Sprocket Replacement

    Good evening Guys, I hope you all have doing well. I have not been on in a few days as I have just felt mentally drained after work for the last couple weeks. Also I picked up a Lexus that I have been doing a timing belt, valve cover gaskets, and all the related items on. Something I actually...

    Case 1155D Drive Sprocket Replacement

    Hey Guys, Speaking of pin turning, I assume this means having each one of the pins pressed out rotated and pressed back in. If that is correct, I'm sure the cost of this would be a few thousand dollars. Also I would assume all of the track shoes have to be removed before taking the chains to the...

    Case 1155D Drive Sprocket Replacement

    Well they are worn some but no more than I will run it they will probably last the rest of my life. Besides if they only last a week this machine with a fully rebuilt engine, all cylinders rebuilt, good pressures on the hydraulics, and trans, and new paint will be up for sale. :oops: And it is...

    Case 1155D Drive Sprocket Replacement

    Sounds like I got off easy on this one. It is about time I found something that I was not doing the hard way!!! :):):):) I thought I had to do everything the hard way :confused: but so far this has been pretty simple. My new sprockets are supposed to arrive by Tuesday or Wednesday of this coming...

    Case 1155D Drive Sprocket Replacement

    That sounds pretty cool, good luck on it and I hope it goes well for you. I do have one question, how is the line boring done? Do you have the equipment to do this or is there some place you take you machine to have this done?

    Case 1155D Drive Sprocket Replacement

    Hey Guys I hope you are all doing well, turning bolts, and getting your hands greasy. :D I am playing with Sweetheart again. Yes the same Case 1155D. The rebuilt engine project I shared with you all is running great! :) (Yes I had to get much help from you Guys on that one) THANKS!!!!! :D:D...

    '06 Bobcat A300 Chaincase

    Yes at the rate they charge it seems they should be experts and confirm they completed everything. Even a shade tree guy like me is smart enough to know that when I have bolts and/or parts left over that I have missed something. That is why I do all of my own work. However I just use my...

    '06 Bobcat A300 Chaincase

    That is very interesting, the dealer has never heard of the issue before, and you had someone show up at your door the same day your parts came home from your neighbor who had experienced the same issue. What a coincidence! The guy showing up at your door I mean. I am certainly not saying it was...

    Is it worth the risk

    That was my thoughts exactly though I did not explain it as well as Nige did. I didn't know anything about the double sensors, but what I meant to say was run it as long as it works and then do the full rebuild or replacement. So it looks like judging from Nige's post I was thinking in line with...

    Is it worth the risk

    If I owned a machine like that and I assume you are making a living with it, I think you would be better to do the new or rebuilt trans. If you were like me just playing around my own land with it then I would go the cheapest way with it. When you are earning your lively hood with it you have...

    Is it worth the risk

    In answer to your question about building something to last see below it is all about the Benjamins! All of the large conglomerate manufactures learned decades ago that if they design their machines/products so they last to long they cannot gets the thousands out of all of us that it takes to...

    Whoever said a picture paints a thousand words (or more) was right. Thanks for the posting those.

    Torch Broken Bottom Roller Bolts

    Again I am much less experienced with these bigger machines than most of the Guys on here. I think the torch (cutting) would be very useful when dealing with larger bolts. When I have used a torch for anything but heat on smaller of this size it has not been the fix I was looking for but only...

    Torch Broken Bottom Roller Bolts

    Hey Charles welcome. I don't know about your torch skills, but with mine this would be a no-no. With the space that you have I do not see this ending with a good result. If it were me, I would make more attempts at welding the nut. However there are Guys on this site that have so much...

    1155D Trans Pressure ?

    Hey Guys, I hope you are all doing well tonight! With all of the advice and a ballpeen hammer I finally got that last cylinder rebuilt today! :):):) It is crazy to think that after all of the heating, beating, a broken 36 inch barrowed :( :confused: pipe wrench, and anything I could think of...

    1155D Trans Pressure ?

    Thanks Tinkerer for clarifying. If I haven't killed the cylinder already with all of the heat I would like to beat it into submission the correct way. :p;):)

    1155D Trans Pressure ?

    Good morning Tinkerer! I am a little confused (which does not take much :confused:), in the post in the other thread that Alrman gave the link above, someone was saying use the flat end of the ballpeen hammer (unless I am misunderstanding something). (See below, I have copied and pasted below)...
