New Holland Tractor Boomer 33     Dealer connected diagnostics to force regeneration.   Never found  a way for owner to force a regen.   Seems sad that the design would trap you like this such that you must go to the dealer and you can not buy a diagnostic tool even as an owner to resolve these issues.   If you want a new tractor I would ask the dealer how your going to keep it going as an owner if they lock you out of some of the most basic task like regeneration of the DPF.   RUN THE RPM at or above PTO in order to keep this tool out of the shop on limp mode.     EPA kind of screwed up.   There is no way in hell this tractor will pollute less if you need to burn tanks and tanks of diesel to burn out the suit.   My guess is its like the VW issue, nobody calculated the complete cycle required and the total fuel burned when they allowed this design. The good news is when my boomer 33 runs it has a lot of power.   If the Manufacturer would sell me the diagnostic tool along with all the manuals I bought I would feel different but it may be impossible to keep this tractor in service and the super high RPM required will surely wear out the engine sooner rather than later. ...

The color and consistency of battery corrosion isn't always the same. It varies from blue to white and dry/powdery to pasty caulk substance.  Does the variances indicate the reason for the corrosion that persists on some vehicles yet others never have a problem? ... View more

From 4 years ago 🙂 Okay I just lived with it, but today there was a oil leak on the braided hose going from the oil filter to the turbo, I replaced the hose and viola! no more oil pressure quiver.  What I figure for over 4 years that hose was sucking a little air, it didn`t leak oil, only sucked air...a new hose fixed it.  I think it would be a good idea to routinely replace old braided hoses, they might look okay and not leak fluid for years ...until they do and that might not be a convenient time. ...

Case 1840- starts sometimes- usually not. If it starts it will run all day at full throttle- no hesitation etc. Cranks fast when trying to start. Is there a solenoid that is easy to find or tap etc. When it does start and you shut off- no guarantee it will start anymore than a cold try. ... View more

I recently purchased a 7200 tractor on the internet.  It runs great and love the size and maneuverability for many small jobs.   My problem is that it will not go in reverse.  Forward gears work fine.  It happened all of a sudden with no advanced indication that anything was wrong.  Linkage seems fine looking at what I can see.  It has the four main gears plus the four power shift gears.   Sitting in the cab I can hear it shift as I shift through the power shift gears.  Any advise on my problem would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks,  Roger ...

Hello SF Man, My '53 JD 40T is draining the battery every time after 1st initial crank on fully charged battery. Now this same battery easily cranks over my dads Farmall Super C; which is similar sized tractor. I can pull start it and it will crank up & run very smooth. It has new switch, points, rotor, cap, spark plug wires, spark plugs, coil, starter-battery wire, ground-battery wire, and all new wiring. Verified that points & spark plugs are gapped correctly, plugs throw spark in/outside of engine when it turns over. We are just baffled at this point and not sure how find/fix this issue. Our only next was to run two 6 volt batteries n parallel to achieve more CCA. Any thoughts or help would be much appreciated as this a father & son project. ... View more

I'm having a problem with my 1640 combine overheating.  Problem began when I blew a hose to the after-cooler during wheat harvest.  After replacing it, the engine would overheat in about 5 minutes running at threshing speed.  A friend suggested that I look for an air lock in the cooling system. Bled the line to remove any trapped air but it didn't completely resolve the issue. Now the engine will run at normal temperature at idle and up to 2/3rds full throttle.  Once I increase rpms to full throttle the needle heads for red after about 10 minutes. Belts are all tight, primary air filter replaced, oil and coolant are both up to level.  Thinking about replacing thermostat next to see if that helps.  Any other suggestions? ... View more

Many engines don't get enough hours to change oil more than annually or as called for in the operating manual. In this case, as a pilot, I've been trained to change the oil before a lay-off so the engine sits with clean oil in it. I know some farmers let it set with dirty oil and change it just before starting to use it again. Do you have any recommendations on which might be preferable? ... View more
