Well, if nothing else I learned some rudimentary You Tube skills.
Anyone with the patience to watch (and listen) to this seven minute video of my tractor, I'd appreciate feedback on a stumbling knock I've mentioned here before.
Seems to be present at idle, then under load, but will disappear as the load decreases for a run down a hill. I don't know the last time the valves were adjusted so perhaps that's a potential culprit.
I've also mentioned before my oil pressure will start off fine, then drop across the course of twenty minutes to about 8 lbs of pressure. The knock seems unaffected by this. It's present both at full pressure and low pressure...
Other than the knock and oil pressure (ha!) it runs ok, pulls well, isn't overheating, turns over easily. For the most part starts on half a spin (video excepted!).
Some of the local guys who have heard it say it's nothing to worry about but I have a hard time accepting metal-on-metal sounds of any sort as nothing to worry about.
Anyway, forgive the camera work and subtitle spelling mistakes. Hopefully the camera's mic was good enough to pick up the noise.
All thoughts welcome!
