i had a couple machines like that. down where the handle is connected was crud built up preventing full movement.

i had a set on a gehl 3825 and they worked good in the barn but on dry concrete they were no fun. flexing and leaving black marks, it felt hard to turn because of the soft sidewalls. i would do it if not using on concrete or blacktop

head is off. there is the piece of glow plug, flattened but no damage to the head. this was the only way that was going to get the piece out.

is it possible to remove the injector and get it with a magnet?

the problem i found with the shorter trailers are getting the weight right over the axles. hence way to much tongue weight. i like my gehl 4640. 8000 hours and very little trouble. you can get in and change hoses easily, comfortable and good visibility.

pulled out the glow plugs and the 1st one is broke/burnt off. either way there is nothing left below the threads. i stuck a wire down each one and can feel the pistons moving. the cylinder that has the broken glow plug stops near the top. it must be that piece.

he didnt respond to me so im guessing it sold. they wanted $3000

tomorrow i plan to work on it. i am going to pull 1 glow plug at a time and try turning it by hand in between. sure wish i had higher ceilings in my cozy warm shop. just cant flip a cab over in 8' clearance. so far i rebuilt the tilt cylinder along with a new shaft. new pins and bushings in the...

in the control block,next to a sending unit.according to a schematic thats what they call it.its a cap; spring then a metal plunger. the plunger had a groove wore in it, so i chucked it up and cleaned it up. the vanes looked ok, and the surface they ride in was shiny,the surface behind it on the...

im going to try taking out the glow plugs first to see if anything pumps out. probably in a couple days when it warms up. do you think that valve i mentioned could have caused my weak hydraulics?

ya it never started back up. every thing is still in the machine. could i have broke a rod trying to start it? i have had ice around the fan on a different one but that was after pressure washing

picked up a project 743 that needs alot of work. i got it running nice but hydraulics were weak. both sides and the loader. i took the vane pump apart to inspect, but should be ok. then i checked the case drain pressure relief valve, it was stuck open i think, so i polished it and put it back...

i put chains on my4640 by turning my rims and getting more offset
