Broke down tractor

[speedy3471 10,655]

So this spring has been hell on equipment for our farm. We have one tractor getting an engine overhaul and this one had transmission problems. The torque limiter needed replacing. We fixed this one ourselves. It's back running now

We were gonna tackle the engine rebuild but didn't have time during seeding. I would of loved to show you the engine block from the 14 liter engine

See, that's the good thing about the horse drawn plow.  It has no engine or transmission that can break down.  Just feed 'em enough and you'll be okay.  But, your back can break down!  LOL!  Great pics.  Thanks.

He can upload it here i don't think he would want to share his yt channel with us if he has one he could also switch the engine and make it go even faster

Videos cannot be uploaded to the site… that's why I was puzzled

If you check carefully, ALL videos are links from outer sites

Only exceptions are my videos in the GoldSection, but indeed they are an exception and only because the forum is anyway focused on pee, elsewhere even them would have needed to be uploaded elsewhere

It actually miss an upload option, he should necessarily post it elsewhere and then share the links

Who knows, maybe we are worrying too much, and there are platforms where you can share videos!!!

@speedy3471, That's great to see you working on the machinery like that.  I work as a volunteer on a steam railway and seem to be constantly taking things apart and putting them back together, but the good thing with older technology is that things can be fixed without hooking them up to diagnostic computers!

Working horses do get ill though from time to time.  But in general, yes, they are pretty reliable and have a wonderful character.

So what was the problem and the fix? I'm guessing leaky seal?

Lol. It wouldn't be very exciting, tractors don't go that fast lol. This tractor is just a little guy, 130 horsepower or so, weighs about 15000 pounds and goes about 18mph. 

The tractor iam running right now tops the scales at about 53000 pounds is rated at 620 horse power, 2170 pounds/feet of torque and goes 23mph

Isnt that the truth lol. First thing the techs do when working on equipment now lol, hook up the diagnostic computer lol

Yup. Seal failed and took out the torque limiter

Take a look at that Snap-On tool chest behind the tractor. It's a BIG one (actually several chests) filled to the brim with the best mechanic's tools available. Might be 100,ooo USD worth or much more in those boxes. That's a mechanic's wet dream you see there friends.
