[QUOTE=brianspank;154785] I removed the thermostat. It appears to be heat related. The engine is not overheating. [/QUOTE]

How are you sure the engine is not overheating? Because there is no thermostat? If there is waterpump problem or clogged radiator removing the thermostat would not solve that.

I had a tractor that did similar to your's. Turned out to be a wasp in the fuel tank at certain fuel level it would float over the fuel intake and shut off the fuel. Do you have a clear fuel filter or water seperator. When it acts up how is the fuel level in it? Even though you have had the problem for a while, are you sure you have clean fuel? Does any other engine get fuel from same tank? If not check it. Could possible be even where you buy from. kt

BH3131,

Two acres isn't going to be a whole lot of trouble for any farmer. I'm just guessing that your neighbor in WV has a rock picker that he uses on his tractor. If so, I'd hire the friendly neighbor to break up your two acres, remove the rocks, etc.

Over the next couple of years you might find yourself an old Oliver, Farmall, or even a Minneapolis Moline for little or nothing. Use one of these old workhorses to break up the remaining acreage.

Keep your utility tractor. You'll use it for a thousand different things on the farm.

Best of luck to you.

Joel

I recently purchased a Shibaura D23F tractor with a front-end loader attachment. The control valve that operates the front-end loader is cracked just above the port labeled �T� on the valve block. When the 3pt hitch is raised to the top limit, there is a geyser of hydraulic fluid that spays from the cracked valve. <br>
I am not experienced with hydraulics but from what I have researched this is what I can share. The hydraulic pump is mounted to the engine. The output of the pump is directed through a �� metal line for 10-12 inches before it converts to a rubber hydraulic line. This rubber line then connects to what I can determine is a 2-spool valve with two levers controlling the bucket and loader arms. The rubber line connects to a port located on the side labeled �P�. There is another rubber hydraulic line that exits the control valve from a port label �T� and extends for a couple of feet before connecting to the metal line that returns to the transfer case under the tractor seat. The 4 lines supplying the cylinders for the FEL connect to fittings between �P� and �T� ports.<br>
The FEL control valve has the following markings. On a tag riveted to the side are the following:<br>
Top line: �A1x2� Second Line: �0187 F02 TA� Third line: �912156�<br>
Stamped on the back of the block valve is: "1500 15"<br>
<br>
The 3 point hitch controls are located to the right side of the tractor seat. The controls appear to have been modified into a �hybrid� configuration. There is a flat-bar lever that pivots on a single bolt. To this flat bar is another bracket that I would describe as having a right angle at each end that wraps inward. These right angle tabs make contact to what appears to be control valves and are manipulated in/out as the flat-bar lever for the hitch is moved up/down. The control valves also appear to be solenoid valves by the evidence of wiring harnesses that were �cut� sometime in the past. <br>
I have drained the hydraulic fluid, which was clean. I have removed the internal suction line screen and cleaned minimal material from the magnets. I have also replaced the external hydraulic filter. <br>
The replacement of the control valve for the FEL appears to be a straight-forward process. However, I would like to know that when I replace this valve, there is not a remaining condition that would cause the replacement valve to malfunction or break. <br>
<br>
I have added a link to on-line photo album outlining specifc details<br>
.<br>
Any advice would be much appreciated.<br>

Hi,
I have RGB60 from WR Long and love it. FYI- my CUL is a JD 4600 with 460 loader. They have all different size grapple buckets.

Before you start tearing into the hydraulic system, I suggest a little more diagnosis.<br>
<br>
I doubt it's the by-pass valve, if it was bad you'd have FEL problems too.<br>
<br>
If the pressure relief valve is bad it will cause the same problem you are having, but so will a bad seal in either of the control valve or lift cylinder.<br>
<br>
From what I recall though, the relief valve is isolated from the control valve and lift cylinder when the engine is off. In other words the 3pth is pilot valve protected.<br>
<br>
If you can, put an implement on the 3pth and use something else to lift it, then shut off the tractor and see if it stays up on it's own or lowers back down.<br>
<br>
Best of luck.

The later model 2130's do not have the inspection plate that allows access to the clutch shims. There is adjustment in the linkage though. Try that first, it worked for me.

[QUOTE=auerbach;154783] It's NOT a fair coin-toss. It's NOT a group deciding to all contribute to protect anyone who loses everything from a lightning strike.It's a scientifically calculated profit-maker. The insurers are the experts in what is likely to fail when; their lawyers are the experts in protecting their clients, not their clients' customers. And they are the experts in marketing this coverage, which is designed to protect what doesn't need protection and vice versa. (Never covers "normal wear" or "misuse" or "failures related to maintenance for which there is no proof of having been performed at an authorized dealer" or whatever.) Not buying this insurance is not going without protection. Say it gives coverage for five years. Without it, you have factory coverage for, say, three years. Suppose it costs $1000. By the time the coverage period is well in effect, that might be worth $1500 (depending on whether you'd have to borrow it, or if not, on your investment skills or luck). Thus, you have around $1500 of self-insurance, which if you don't use, you simply keep. No claim forms, no arguments, no exclusions. Isn't that the best kind? [/QUOTE]

Like I said, the logic that extended warranties are generally bad for the consumer is sound. Yet we usually buy them on vehicles and they have always paid for themselves for us.

BTW, it's not always true that extended warranties don't cover "wear and tear" items. I was looking at Subaru's factory extended warranty and it does cover wear items like clutches and brake pads.

Is the reason they are wanting to sell make sense to you? Seems they did not have it long. Did they buy it for a project and it is now complete, are they tight financially and need to reduce debt or get cash? The reason for the sale may give you insight also. kt

Not that I am aware of. And even if you could with an aftermarket unit, I wouldn't do it. The frame just isn't heavy enough to accomodate a hoe.

Dave; First welcome to the board, we can always use some new blood around here. In todays high and sure to get higher energy costs we're all looking for lower cost heating, but maybe before buying the pellet stove you might check with your electric supplier. I don't know how much longer this will contuinue but right now electric radiant heat is the lowest cost compared to LP or natural gas here in Eastern Iowa. Frank.

We finally took a test drive in an 08 Impreza Outback. It sure feels like very high quality and quite substantial for a small car. The wife really liked it so we'll probably close the deal next weekend. The only complaints I had were that the low profile tires really don't fit the "outback" image and the auto transmission is only a 4-speed (but it's manual mode is pretty cool)<br>
<br>
The Toyota dealer loaned us a new Corolla while the Highlander is being repaired. It's not a bad small car but compared to the Impreza it feels quite a bit cheaper. Less features, more noise, doesn't handle as well, a lot cheaper interior. It's not a direct comparison since it's $5k cheaper and not AWD but the Impreza didn't have any of the cheap feel to it.
