    3 wire alternator nightmare

    Got all of my permanent wiring in, installed my new headlights and used the ol girl today to pull some stumps out of ground and everything seems to be working just fine. My amp meter reads right around 10 amps or lower most of the time and those $20 Chinesium led lights draw almost nothing. I...

    3 wire alternator nightmare

    Well...I am the lord of the idiots. So when I replaced the v belt I replaced it with one of those Accu-link belts so I wouldn't have to pull the radiator, drain the hydraulic system, and unbolt the hydraulic pump from the crankshaft. Well those accu-link belts stretch a lot so I've been taking...

    3 wire alternator nightmare

    Well I charged the batteries for a little over an hour, voltage showed 12.8V and the tractor started right up but still no charging. I took some pictures to show what I'm working with. I just have everything hooked up temporarily, I wanna make sure I can get everything to work before I...

    3 wire alternator nightmare

    I threw away all of those "smart chargers", worst things ever invented. Schumacher seems to be the only company that still makes reasonably priced manual battery chargers, I bought a couple of them.

    3 wire alternator nightmare

    The idiot light is led, although I've bypassed it and ran a test wire directly from the battery to pin 1 with no change. My batteries are not in the greatest shape and they're actually pretty dead at the moment, I've been using a jump box to start the tractor. I'll throw the charger on in the...

    3 wire alternator nightmare

    I actually tried a Delco 1 wire alternator first. I bought a 120amp, delco 10si, self exciting, low rpm turn on alternator. I ran an 8 gauge cable from the output terminal on the alt to the positive cable on the starter solenoid. Nothing. It wouldn't charge no matter how high I revved the...

    3 wire alternator nightmare

    Hi everyone, I haven't posted in a long while but the last time I was here I got so much great information from a lot of people. I've got another problem so I figured I'd ask for help here again. I have a Case 350 track loader with a case 188 4cyl diesel. It used to have a generator but it...

    Final Drive Oil

    Thank you for the helpful reply! So after some more searching I think I found what I need: Sadly it's from Walmart but I guess I'll have to overlook that this time.

    Final Drive Oil

    Hey guys, so my Case 350 loader is still running thankfully. After some upgrades and using it for a ton of work I noticed that one of the final drive units has a very small leak. After looking into what's involved with changing the bad seal I decided that the leak is small enough not to worry...

    Well she lives again, I found a new injection pump drive gear for cheap on ebay and I replaced the thrust spring. The old girl runs great again, hopefully it stays that way.

    Best flashlight

    I've had my Streamlight stinger DS led for at very least 8 years now and it's hands down the best flashlight I've ever owned. I've thrown it at concrete walls multiple times, thrown it on the cement floor many times, ran it over with a truck and dropped it more times than I can count. That...

    This can't be real life...

    I've actually thought of doing this, I've had very good luck stopping cracks in car windshields by drilling a tiny hole at the end of the crack just past the first layer of glass with a diamond bit. I also thought about drilling a small hole at the end of the crack and grinding a v-groove along...

    This can't be real life...

    Cool, thanks! So I'd like to get some opinions, I took a picture of the crack on the gear and a pic of the IP shaft. I don't see any damage to so I really don't think it spun, but I still want to replace that gear for peace of mind, even though it's proving difficult to find. Obviously...

    I gotta say I'm glad I never called anyone about that pump because I would have felt like a real dope right about now. Once the timing was right that engine fired right up, I didn't bleed anything, and I know that the pump body was empty because I had the timing cover open with the fuel shut...

    This can't be real life...

    there is a key in the pump shaft and it fits in the pump gear perfectly. The spring and pin that keep tension on the pump shaft against the front cover were installed. The pump gear has a hairline crack in the length of the key groove, but even if somehow that opened up enough to let the shaft...

    This can't be real life...

    Ok so now I'm really confused...I finally went to pull the pump today but after 20mins of trying to time the pump and timing gears to TDC I realized that the pump was 180° off. So I pulled the pump gear off, turned the pump shaft 180° so the timing marks were lined up then reinstalled the pump...

    I actually have the whole air cleaner disconnected, the intake manifold is wide open. I replaced all four injectors last summer when I had the pump rebuilt. I had the same idea the first time around, before I had the pump rebuilt I took all four injectors out and mounted them upside-down, the...
