I have a question. My leyland 154 1000 pto drive works but my 540 engages but then pops out under torque. What causing it? How do I fix this? Hard or easy fix?
Hi Rick, I recently inherited my father in-laws Nuffield 60-10, unfortunately he passed away around 5 years ago and it has been parked up under cover ever since. He was always very good at looking after his machinery and this was used daily on the farm. It now blows some blue smoke which I don’t recall it doing in the past, any tips on what I should do? It only gets used to beach launch my boat (I’m in New Zealand) so hasn’t really been given a decent hot running since I got it. On another note just wondering if you could advise what level the oil should be in the air cleaner and if you could possibly do a video on the workings of all the levers, pedals, gauges etc. Thanks very much, Mike.
The blue smoke is likely to be burning oil, because it’s stood and the rings have become stuck, this may cure itself or you can remove the inlet manifold and put 200cc of WD40 down each cylinder and let it stand for a week. You may need to remove the rocker cover and open the inlet valve with a lever to do this. Same oil as you use in the engine for the air filter and the injector pump. I have a video for the pump oil change.
@@montegoson Thanks for the advise, I will give this a go if it hasn’t come right after next few uses. What level should the oil be in the air cleaner? Have already checked out the injector pump oil change video and is now on my to-do list. Keep up the great work, very informative and easy to watch videos.
Hi, apologies for asking this question via the comments but I was unsure how to contact you. I’m trying to source a front axle Pivot Bracket for my Universal Three (3DL). Any ideas whereI might stand some chance? One of the corners has snapped clean off so it may be that I’ll just have to try welding it back together. I’m hoping that it’s cast steel or a forging and not cast Iron which would make welding more problematic.
