Just bought a super 88 diesel the other day and have some questions.
I did some research and I think its a 1955. SN 17283-804
I am changing the fuel and oil filters. What are the numbers for each?
It has fuel in the oil. There was about 3.5 gallons of fuel/oil in the pan. I pressurized the transfer pump with low pressure compressed air and a fog came out where it goes into the block.
It runs super smooth, but it smokes and smells like raw fuel. Could it just be sucking the thin oil by the valve guides? The oil still feels quite oily, so I doubt there is any bearing damage.
It has been sitting for a long time and there wasn't a speck of metal in the filters.
Im replacing almost every gasket and seal and Id like to clean the energy cells too. I read in an archived thread that I need a 3/4 18 bolt to remove the inner part? Where would I find that?
Someone painted it dark green with a brush but there is an exlant amount of lighter green under it. It looks like the factory color. If its a 55, that means everything should be green except the grill?
I plan on repainting the engine, frame and grills with a rattle can.
Should it have meadow green? The Tisco rattle can meadow green looks too dark.
What color yellow should the grills be?
Anything else I should know about these tractors?
Thanks
