I got this 3750hr t190 in for a customer. He bought it as a basket case. Someone put a head on it, But never bothered to clean the very dirty rad. He took the turbo off and had me put on a new one it did not need imo, before deciding its beyond him. Only running on 2 cylinders. 3 and 4 never get over 140 degrees on the exhaust manifold. Checked compression today and we are spread between 520 and 400. The 400 is one of the cylinders that is hitting. I swapped the injectors end for end and two centers with each other and the problem stayed the same. I'm thinking tomorrow I going to try to connect them too the lines and see if I have any fuel delivery on 3 and 4. The track tension cylinder is leaking grease around the ram. Assuming these are re-packable? I also want to dump the hub oil and check for trash and check the case drain flow and filters for trash. Then hopefully we can decide if this is a parts machine or has some hope of being fixed. Tracks are 75% but mismatched, sprocket worn, center idlers are tight, not sure on the end ones yet. Hydraulics seem tight, boom stays up, minor leak underneath. Rear door don't latch. Cosmetics are rough. Aside from the obvious I wish I knew if it had any other recent work. For you long time members yes I'm still kicking, just been tied up in other ventures these days and don't have much free time to hang out. Ken
