    Auxiliary heater

    Up until recently, I had two heaters: a defrost unit and a fairly large Cat heater under the passenger seat. Worked excellent with the gas motor. Awful with the multifuel (same water temperature). The multi has a water pump much smaller than the gas engine and, near as I can tell, wasn't able...

    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    Your post is a little confusing. The LD/LDT/LDS465-1 had two-hole while the LDS465-1A and LDS465-2 both had one-hole injectors (per TM9-2910-226-34 dated 1974). Seems a little odd that this TM doesn't require that the one-hole injectors should be replaced with the two-hole. Is the LDS...

    Deuce turbo issues

    I haven't done it myself, but next time, ask your doctor for something to make you sleep the entire flight.

    Deuce turbo issues

    There is no "turbo" pressure regulator. The housing on the left side of the block has a relief valve that opens at 40 psi (dumping excess pressure back into the pan) and a valve that opens at 15 psi minimum for the piston cooling nozzles. The turbo is fed off of the same system as the engine...

    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    The R6602 came first; not the multifuel. Both had two heads. The multi has an obvious lineage with the preceding gas and diesel engines but it was clearly a new and more robust design.

    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    How does this prove that the casting mark belongs to MAN? Is there something in the picture that I have missed?

    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    Here is some interesting info on the valve timing: LDS427-2 (from TM9-2815-204-35, dated 1964) Intake opens at 6° BTDC Intake closes 30° ABDC Intake remains open 216° Exhaust opens 36° BBDC Exhaust closes 2° ATDC Exhaust remains open 218° White D5000 (White 2-155 tractor engine service manual...

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    The D4800 and D5000 engines had three rings.

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    Agreed (and I noted that in post 176 :)). I don't remember (and I'm too tired to search); was there also an oil pressure issue after the rebuild?

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    The D4800 & D4800T book actually lists several different pistons: 3-ring: 380045 4-ring: 380407 3-ring: 40-3810302 (N/A engine) 3-ring: 40-3810301j (turbocharged)

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    I have no idea what pistons that you have in your engine; this you will have to figure out. However, the tractor and multifuel pistons are interchangeable because both have the same combustion chamber design. It is common for farmers to install the high compression pistons in their tractors to...

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    If the compression pressure is consistent across the board, it points to the same problem/ cause in each cylinder. Not likely to have a crack in EACH hole/ head. Also seems unlikely to have a head gasket sealing issue in EACH hole/ head. Seems most likely a systemic part issue or assembly...

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    17:1 is the tractor compression ratio. However, this wouldn't 't explain the blow-by. A cracked head wouldn't explain the consistent low compression pressure. Are you guys even reading his posts?

    Oil seal mod. for 3053 input shaft

    Looks like M-Series Rebuild also offers an oil seal mod: http://www.mseriesrebuild.com/photo_gallery2.htm Looks like they maybe epoxied something to retain the seal????

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    I have a few of the "new style" head gaskets (Victor 5818 ) purchased from a SS member with those same instructions. However, White/ AGCO sold those same exact head gaskets with clear instructions in their service manual that the head MUST be retorqued.

    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    Hi Rusty, Continental only licensed the "M" combustion chamber; the balance of the engine is all Continental design. If you compare it to Continental's other engines such as the R6602, you will see that it shares MANY features. I have one of the new heads on the shelf and the shield emblem...

    Pros and cons of Battery Equalizer / Dual alternator

    Rusty, After reading the manual for the Vanner and Cooper systems: both are designed for powering external 12V loads. I'd say that your Vanner rep was confused.

    Pros and cons of Battery Equalizer / Dual alternator

    I have one of the 100A Cooper versions.

    Pros and cons of Battery Equalizer / Dual alternator

    I get what you are saying about increased load, higher heat, etc. However, Vanner claims a load current rating in the 60-100A range. If you can't run even modest tens of amp loads without catastrophe, it sounds like a poorly engineered converter or wildly exaggerated capability.
