I need help from some of you pros on diagnosing a starting problem I'm having with my Long 350 with 2.3 Liter 3 cylinder diesel engine.<br>
<br>
When I was last at the ranch I was pushing over some brush for a couple of hours when I stopped the tractor to remove some brush that was caught between the FEL and the front wheels. When I tried to start the tractor I got nothing. It wouldn't turn over.<br>
<br>
I checked and found that I had current from the key to the starter switch, and from the switch to the solenoid. The battery was fully charged. All of the fuses were OK.<br>
<br>
I'm wondering if it may be the solenoid that has failed. I hate to buy a new starter if there may be something else I need to check. Any thoughts on what else I may need to troubleshoot would be appreciated.

Hello, after 42 years of searching, I am 98% sure I have located my Grandfathers 1947 AC model C. He had a plow with a "lift assist" and I assume this means a hydraulic pump. Please forgive my ignorance but is the plow lift controlled entirely from the lever that pivots from under the front of the bench seat? I have seen 1 or 2 ads that suggest a flow valve is needed to direct the oil to raise or lower the plow. I think this is incorrect. Thank you and if you know of anywhere I can find the parts, lever, ram, etc, please let me know. James Newton Kalamazoo, Michigan

Hello, after 42 years of searching, I am 98% sure that I have recovered my Grandfathers 1947 Ailis Chalmers model C. I have found two hydraulic pumps but I need the the lever that fits directly to/under and pivots under the bench seat, any ideas on where to find this item? I also need to find the ram. Also, I do not know if there is a three way switch to divert to hydraulic flow to make to plow go up or down or if this is controlled entirely from the lever that pivots under the front of the bench seat. Thank you for your time and consideration. James Newton Kalamazoo, Michigan

Not that I've done this myself but the pages from the service manual about the MFD hub basically says once you get the hub assembly off the axle by taking the 6 bolts around the outside out and prying the hub cover and axle assembly out and then you have to:<br>
1 take off the circlip at the inside end and pull the inner bearing.<br>
2 push the stub axle-wheel mount out of the hub cover and gear with a press.<br>
3 take care with the various spacers to keep them together there is a critical measurements to meet at assembly. <br>
4 remove the inner bearing with circlip as needed.<br>
5 looks like the axle oil seal is pressed out from the inside and installed from the outside.<br>
6 reassemble. Shims to be recalculated per the manual. Presumably if you're replacing the bearings like for like the shimming will not change but probably advisable to buy the shim kits if things do change. <br>
7 The inner bearing is put on by heating to 250F at which point it should slide on. Probably should clean it of any oil or grease before heating.<br>
<br>
The full LH assembly seems to be available for like US 830 new but the RH isn't at partstree.com. Bearings and an oil seal will run you US 60ish plus another US 17 for shim sets. Used assemblies would require finding one in a junk yard - lots of luck.<br>

Hello all,

My name is Ken Britzman and i am the Branch manager of National Machinery Victoria. The person who has posted this blog is bogus!
"Right!" i hear you all say.

Please read on.

This person markty32 posted this and many other blogs on the net, he even went to the Gumtree website and posted his blog as an ad!

I replied to his ad. I asked him to contact me, to produce his sale agreement and offered to look at his complaint. Nothing happen, nothing. We have no sale history, warranty work or contact from this person.
I contacted Gumtree and stated the above and within the hour the ad was removed.

To this day i have received nothing from this person, no phone call, no email. In his blogs he states he going to take us to court. You will find nothing against us pending or historical. I have not heard from Mr. Tyson's solicitor, no letter or email from him. Court hearing? nothing, you can all check this on line. Mr Tyson claims that he and all the other bloggers are going all the way!!! " Funny i haven't heard from them either
Mr Tyson states he will take this to the bitter end in one of his blogs, he has written so many of them. Please ask yourself why he is so vocal in blogs and yet will not respond or act on his complaint.

My feeling on this is the markty32 is a competitor who wants to slander our good name. Faceless, vindictive and a liar. There i said it.

I will not get a reply from this person on this blog, just like the bogus Gumtree ad. My contacts are below for the world to see. I have nothing to hide from and urge people to look behind what they read. "The right to reply" is everyone's right.

Please markty32 ( Mr.Mark Tyson) call me or email me at National Machinery if you have a legitimate complaint. And also note that we only have one business name and one ABN number, again would you care to share with the World the other names or ABN numbers you claim we have?

If indeed you intention is to have your consumers rights upheld, and your feverish blogging is intended to help others, i should hear back from you.

Please see below my contacts. I have copied the ad Mr. Tyson placed on Gumtree and my reply letter to him and Gumtree Australia. Again i have never heard from him. Please read the note that Gumtree places on all of its complaints and remember they removed the ad!
Thank you for taking the time to read this message, I am passionate about my business and am only defending my rights.

Yours Sincerely

Gumtree ad and my reply:
Please tell us why this ad should be removed Gumtree Australia

My name is Ken Britzman
I am the branch manager of National Machinery in Victoria.

My company has no record of any sale to this customer. I have emailed Mr. Tyson giving him my contact details and asked that he supply me with a sales invoice and warranty correspondence. I have offered to look into any warranty claims and again i have asked for his warranty booklet and service records.
In the meantime this posting is not an ad it is slander, it gives me no recourse and is making a lot of claims that just no true with regards my business.
I respectfully ask that this ad is removed. Below is a copy of the email I sent to Mr. Tyson via your Gumtree site.

We have no record of your purchase under your name Mark Tyson, did you use a company name? Can you tell me the person and the address of the dealership where you bought the tractor from.
If you have a copy of the agreement or any warranty correspondence this would help me to get to the bottom of your claim. This is very important, you have made some very damaging claims in the ad, I would like to see if i can address any issues. If we have indeed sold you this tractor i will need to see your warranty booklet and your service records in order so that we can start the process of rectifying any faults that are found.
Regards

The belt is suppose to be for this application. I studied it before I purchased it. The one thing that was evident was to pay the extra price for the kevlar belt, unless this belt isn't actaully kevlar it should hold up. The belt has to run a lot tighter than a normal belt because of all the twists. I'm wandering if I might have had it too tight. Would that cause it to separate or did I just happen to get a defective one? Larry

The size is a limiting factor for the tiller but there is another use for them and that is food plots for the hunters! They can do it no till but for the best results a quick till opens it up a bit more.

I know around here many till thee gardens but a good hand tiller fits many applications better then a larger tractor.

Finding business is always challenging and not just a job for part of the year. The best laid plans can meet in failure without the right marketing and advertising you may miss the market place.

Yes you are right.
I deleted that post.

According to the Allstate commercial:

This would fall into that category. Hot Oil will ignite, 5 gallons would make a spectacular image.
So don't do that.

KT, I have an older craftsman string trimmer on wheels that is not self propelled and is hand start. My wife actually prefers to use it on occasion and it can handle some thick weeds. I switch back and forth with my regular echo string trimmer without wheels. Not sure I have a preference.

Davedig, no idea on your tractor but had a coworker to have his arm "TORN" off with a hyd steering system connected wrong. Rather than the steering valve operating as a control valve it was connected to operated as hyd motor and it did. He had his arm through the steering wheel as the engine was first fired on an assembly line and it fired up with full pressure turning that wheel at a high rpm. kt

I have a Massy ferguson 1010 diesel tractor and would like to see if anybody knows where I would hookup the lines for an extra hydraulic valve on my tractor for a front end loader. It is Hydrostatic drive.

Some makes seem to have few issues and some have a lot of issues depending on care. Sounds like jd prices but that price probably included labor. Some dash boards are only in the 200 dollar range.

Greg gave good advice. I try to wipe my quick connectors every time before I hook them just in case there is a speck of dirt to hold the valve open. No idea on a fel loader but you may find you need to release pressure on the hyd system to disconnect or connect those fittings. Depending you on your system that may mean cutting the tractor off and working the controls. kt

I think your tractor has wet brakes, meaning the brakes are running in the hyd oil system. If so them sticking I would think would be the linkage outside the rear end. Begin by checking that linkage for heavy rust or bends or some foreign material such as a piece of limb even.
Check the hyd oil level. One other thing, does your brakes had a lever to lock them engaged? Look and be sure it is not getting locked. Could be issue with that also.

But you either have stuck brakes or no breaks? That seems rather odd to me. What kind of transmission do you have, manual or hydro-stat? If hydro-stat often you don't use brakes as much and might be easier to miss them going bad or how they really are working. Does this happen with both brakes or just one side? Are the brakes locked so both work together? Normally a flip lever on the pedals. kt
