exhuast is popping on #2

[wibbdog]

well i ran the d4 today for about 5 hrs. no signs of coolant in the wet clutch!
yeah. everything work pretty good, still has a little popin out the exhaust,
i need yet to adjust pump lifters.
the one thing i noticed is the transmission fluid is going somewhere?
no huge leaks from under neath. a drip or 2. i filled last time i used it and now in doesnot ever regester on the stick?
my finals drives are full. could this have leaked into the clutch area?
or any where else?
thanks wibbdog.

Check the steering clutch compartments....if it's not showing up in the clutch that's the most likely next candidate.

Glad to hear it seems like at least one of the problems has been accomplished.

There is plugs under the steering clutch housing on each side to drain any buildup of oil in the steering clutches so remove them under the tractor housing and see. Lots of guys left them out if they weren,t working in water that high but with them in just check them often to see if there is oil buildup in them.

Hello All
On our 7U farm cats we would take out the plugs and drill a hole for a good sized cotter key, that way any oil could seep out around the cotter key but very little dirt would get in. We don't do much high water farming so compartments stay dry.

Yes Bruce I have seen the plugs drilled and pins put in and many were done on dry clutched tractors and they drilled the flywheel bell housing plug and had one in.
