some ring gears are not directional and can be flipped over and some not, as I look at the picture of the ring gear it looks to me that it is a directional ring gear,but it might be the angle the picture was taken at. I am wondering if the ring gear was made on the flywheel and non replaceable too. I had one that I had flipped and could not get it to fully lock on the flywheel had to tack weld in a few places, it was on a tractor and the potential unballanced condition I created by tack welding did not show up because of the low rpms there. anyway it might be good to look at a exploded view of the clutch flywheel assm. and see if it shows the ring gear as a seperate piece.
can you chuck up that rebound bearing in a lathe and take off some for better engagement?? Or are you gonna have the old starter rebuilt? or is it to far gone?
not to be a wise ass but you need to run it more, something you might want to look at is the fuel, I assume that it is cold where ever you are at and it might have a trace of water in the fuel that had frozen in the injector pump governor housing. Not saying that this happened but with equipment that is not used much , condensation can get into fuels, more so stuff not kept under cover. So as stated above check the oil in the injector,smell and feel it to see if there is diesel in it ,if there is a more than normal oil scheduled change out might be a good idea. If equiped with a fuel sediment filter look at it to make sure there is no water in it.
some of these tractors have a screen inside the tank, so when you take the fuel line loose at the shut off valve and open it if you do not have good flow from the tank it could be a screen in the tank and the tank should be pumped out before you try to clean it. it would be pretty messy to try to catch it in a bucket, and remember to inspect fuel for water and any trash.
as the injection timing is concerned make sure to do your research on this before attempting to adjust factory settings. some engine injector pumps have to be shimmed to change timing. any engine can product sparks thru the exaust that is why to get forrest rated engines have spark arrestor screen on outlet side of muffler to prevent fires. usally I notice sparks when a piece of equipment is used at night, I would think this is carbon burning up, it is tuff to say over the net if you have excessive sparks coming out of exaust, I would think if the engine is running well you should be ok, if engine is running ruff then when you figure out the issue ,sparks should go to what ever is normal for that engine..
drain the hydro system before checking screen filter as it is the low point of the system so it will come out there kinda fast, it is better to do it at the drain plug.
the shuttle shifts have problems with the pins that hold the linkages together breaking this could be your issue also.
ok that is a shuttle shift, I would seperate the linkages at the transmission and operate the shifter to see if there is any binding. if all is smooth the transmission forks might be at fault. Have you tryed to move the tractor forward some distance and try reverse again? also have you checked your free play on the clutch ,it should be about 1 inch.
while it is running you might want to stick your hand under the dash and move the wires around some to see if there is needles on the gauges start jumping around. yes most likely a ground but it could be a resistance problem on the hot side.
