Can I remove the intake manifold and sneak the valve cover out to the side, or do I have to raise/remove the fuel tank, with all the associated BS, plus 25 gallons of fuel?
This tractor went swimming last fall during tropical storm Irene. When the water went down, I drained it, pulled the glow plugs and poured oil in the cylinders. It turns over fine, but I want to flush it out as much as possible before I refill everything and run it.
My M that went in deeper was finished last fall, and used all summer for haying. I think it is down on power, or maybe I am just spoiled from having the 560 for the previous years.
I probably should have done the 560 first, but the M was much worse off, and actually took a little jumping on the crank to make it tun over the first time. I was afraid it would really seize up if I didn't get right at it. Then winter came and my shop cooled right off, and there was snow plowing and then some re-modeling, both at my house and my sister's. Then there was sugaring and spring's work and all of a sudden it was haying and I was stuck with the M.
Besides the tractors, my whole spread of hay equipment got washed, it was a lot easier to fix up though, pressure washed it, greased the heck out of everything, and repacked the wheel bearings. I anticipated trouble with some sealed bearings, but none so far. The only real casualty was the electric motor for adjusting the belt speed on the bale thrower on my NH 269 baler. It worked all right in the weeks after the flood, but rusted tight and seized up over the winter.
