my 2 cents are not worth much but why would this happen.the oil pan has many bolts that transfer the load to the block for strength (i assume).could there be a non straight milled edge that when the pan was torqued over stressed the pan and cracked it? and with that thought,the gasket would have to be thin and hard. a thick gasket soft would distort easily causing uneven pressures.just a thought
well disassembly was straight forward.it looked like the parts was assembled without much lube on the piston o ring that shuttles a flat seal against a face.I used some white grease on the o ring and the tension springs,all is well now.
It is all air driven and it has some valve that works I assume as a treadle valve but it is seperate from the brake pedal arm ,mounted under the floor pan.It works off a rod hooked to the pedal arm. when I get some time I will pull it apart.Oh the tractor brakes are wet ones and unaffected.
industrial tires are a nice in between choice also ,I would try wheel weights first before using fluid in the tires.But if fluid is used I think tractor supply has the fill kit reasonable.use non corrosive,non freezing fluid in them,here the county coop can fill them.
do you have your tires inflated to the pressure needed for the weight of a loader and load.and are the tires the right ones to carry that load?I would think that they need to operate at least 60 psi.I know that this is not your primary issue,but…..and it might be a good idea to add more weight to that box blade,I have used two 40 kilo counterweights straped to mine,sure does make it work better too.
I think a marine grade switch is a good idea and moreso if the tractor stays outside out of a covered roof.
If you have a good starter ,atl. rebuilding service near you it might be best to let them see if it is something they can fix,or identify.
does your gearbox dipstick have 2 fill marks on it? if so the lower mark is full with no loader,the upper mark is full with a loader.
I am sure all what you say is true but there is no harmonic balancer the flywheel has not been trued I do not believe as I see no drill holes that they balanced it to.it idles at 400 rpm and is max governed to 2000 rpm.If I have to back in it I will replace the flywheel.But the owner being 83 I do not think I will have to worry about it.He runs it at a fast idle when he is in a hurry.I also talked to the carquest machine shop guy the other day and he said that is common with those flywheels not to hold the ring gear and they weld them up.
