I bailed off and rolled downhill, all while hoping I was rolling faster than the tractor. I was relieved when it stopped and I was clear of it.
Same with my rollbar. I believe it’s also about 6” too tall. But it fits through the barn doors.
Exactly! That could have been really really bad.
Pride is just for that! Can take a beating and keep on keep’n on! Smooshed noggin… not so much!
dude, very happy you didnt wind up under it in any capacity 
awesome your neighbor was able to help you out.
It’s a pretty simple machine. I’m just concerned about oil filling a cylinder (hydraulic lock) and bending a rod. I’ll turn it thru a few revolutions by hand, before I try to start it.Pride is just for that! Can take a beating and keep on keep’n on! Smooshed noggin… not so much!
are you versed in diesel engines and what not?
I couldn’t back up, because the log I just pulled in behind me, so I disconnected the strap, and slowly moved forward to creep down. Once one of the front wheels “crested”, the tractor (on 3 wheels now) dipped and was going over. I bailed at that point.
Thankfully I never flipped one I’m sure I would have shit myself. Came close though. Glad you’re good and hopefully the tractor too. 1. They’re expensive and 2. It’s a pain to haul em to the dealer for major repairs.
Yeah, you don’t wanna do that! Hopefully you don’t have to pull the glow plugs and crank it and blow whatever is in the cylinders out, if anything!
That’s one good thing about my old MF no glow plugs.
What’s it got? A gas engine? How does it fire up if it’s a diesel? Must be gas! I think Kubota have three banger diesels!That’s one good thing about my old MF no glow plugs.
Diesel doesn’t need glow plugs.
I know they only use them to start! Run on compression! But I thought they had to have them! Once again, I stand corrected!
Direct injection. No plugs or preheater needed (older Perkins). In fact since none of lights work the only reason there’s an alternator needed is to charge the battery for the starter. Since I always have my Schumacher charged up I really don’t even need it then. These old Perkins three bangers with direct injection are a beast.
My Kubota is a 3 cylinder diesel, with glow plugs.
Does Canada, Vermont, Pa. apply? Go to the yesterdays tractors forums on the old MF/Perkins forums and tell them that if they bring their MF235/245 down to Ohio they need that to start them. Let me know what they say
