The hydraulic tools are all Stanley hydraulic tools. You can normally find used ones for sale on Ebay. New Stanley hydraulic tools are expensive. Replacement parts for the hydraulic tools are all available from Stanley. I was lucky in that my FLU419 came with a complete set of hydraulic tools.

Time to pull the head if it's really bad.

:LOL::LOL::LOL:

Try United States of Freight. They did a great job for me.

I'd use a strap wrench which won't damage the balancer. However, if it was me, I'd pull the injectors and use a bore scope camera to inspect the cylinders prior to trying to turn. Make sure you use one that has a small camera head on it that will fit through the injector hole. If everything...

I'd go ahead and pull the pan. Even if there isn't any visible rust on the internals, there will still be oil - water emulsion in the pan and it will need to be cleaned.

I only buy AGMs now. I don't like having to check electrolyte levels.

From the photo with the data plate and the left rear wheel it looks like yellow wasn't the original color. Hard to tell from the photos but perhaps green or gray. Have you contacted MF and asked if they have any data based on the S/N? Some manufacturers keep records for decades.

Better if the fluid is warm each time you drain as well.

I had very good success using United States of Freight to haul a FLU419 from Philadelphia to North Georgia.

I was dealing with a certain federal agency before I retired. I found that some of my licensing applications would clear in a few days and others took weeks to several months. I found out that as licensing applications were received by the government agency, they placed them in a stack on one...

I put Opti-Lube XPD in all of my diesel trucks and tractors and my diesel M1030M1 motorcycle. In a test, Opti-Lube outperformed all of the other additives. I've attached a copy of the test results on lubricity for the additives. Some additives, like Marvel Mystery Oil actually decreased...

The low air pressure warning switch, NSN 5930004345441, is failing and should be replaced.

You can filter the diesel to get the free water out. You can buy filter funnels for filtering water out of diesel. You may find someone who wants the filtered diesel, perhaps someone that burns fuel oil for heat. Otherwise, you have 50 gallons of contaminated diesel that you need to dispose...

Normally around 4 - 5 seconds, regardless of temp.

I would rinse the fuel tank out with clean water and then rinse out the tank with a garden sprayer filled with isopropyl alcohol. You can then dry the inside of the tank with a hair dryer.

You can see the water level from the rust on the air cleaner housing at the gauges. It looks like total immersion of everything that counts. The only good news here is that it was fresh water and not salt water. After you get it home, I would pull the valve cover off as well as the oil pan...

I have never had anything like that happen with my FLU. I have used both the loader and backhoe heavily in both hot summer weather and cold down to the mid-20s as well as some work with the hydraulic tools. Possibly the only difference is that I have 10 weight non-detergent motor oil motor...

You can try something called the crackle test to determine if there is water in the oil. Monitor Water-In-Oil with the Visual Crackle Test (machinerylubrication.com) You can also take a sample to a lab and they can measure the water content with Karl Fischer reagent titration, but this will...
