torque tube oil leak

Rual · Mar 17, 2011

There is oil in with the fly wheel, do I have to split the tractor to fix the leak. It is not motor oil.

It is necessary to tell us what tractor it is. or a picture. Jim

Sorry about that, it is a 600B Case-o-matic

That is the way a Caseomatic is built , you have no problem as far as oil in the bell housing is concerned. If the direct drive has good lockup and the pressure is good on the gage, keep it full of Hy Tran ultra and change the filter up in the front of the radiator behind the grill screens and you will be good for years. mEl

The reason I ask the puestion is how do you time the motor when all the oil flying aroung the flywheel? You can not see the timing mark.

Rual, so did you get an answer for this question above? I have the same set-up.

Cariboo4x4 · Jan 13, 2016

I'm thinking you time it with engine not running...

I'll bet the service manual would answer that.
You do have one don't you?
How would you know how to set the timing?

I just re-read the timing sequence for diesel 188 and it specifically states: "CAUTION: NEVER ATTEMPT TO ADJUST TIMING WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. THIS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE MECHANIC OR DAMAGE TO INJECTION PUMP." I can scan pages and post or email them to you. I've receiced from awesome help here and hopefully I can help others here too.

I build tractor pull engines and time them running. With the 600B I would get the TDC mark lined up in the hole, fashion a pointer that you can fasten to a timing cover bolt, set the pointer so that it lines up with the edge of the pulley and put a chisel mark on the pulley edge right at the pointer. Then use a advance style timing light to accurately set the timing at high idle. With that style light you would dial the desired timing into the light the use the TDC mark as a reference.

If the advance mechanism is in good condition and free you can static time it with a 12v test light, set at TDC in hole, disconnect the lead from the coil at the distributor, use the test light from 12v to distributor post, if the light is off go clockwise with the distributor till it lights, then carefully back counterclockwise till it goes out. That will be points breaking at O deg. That will be close but the best way is running as I described.Mel

Mel, was that procedure for 600B a gas engine because youe 2nd paragraph seems to apply to a gas engine.

My machine was not running correct at high rpm so I hope to double check timing of my diesel 188. I have to follow timing sequence so I assemble flywheel on crankshaft in correct position so flywheel marks line up to pointer under cap in torque tube. The guy I bought machine off 2 yrs ago rebuilt diesel 188 and I think he was unaware of cap on torque tube. He is presently unavailable so I will not be able to ask him for several months. At high rpms it was running rough and he actually broke a push rod. He had to fix that so he warned me it may need a new or re-built or re-calibrated injection pump. He did not have a service manual so I'm hoping if I follow procedure in manual it will run properly.
