When I reseal those rams I only remove the rod , leave the cylinder attached, no need to remove it.

Looks like there plenty rust in there probably caused by someone being over zealous with the pressure washer, hope the ring gear is ok, nice easy starter to get off,plenty room on that side of the engine not so the other side especially if the lift pump needs cleaning,there is a gauze filter in the ...

Yes the jockey wheel moves when on tick over but if its throwing the belt something is causing it,take the belt off and check if the pulley bearing,also check the arm where it comes out of the housing that the bush is not worn and that can cause the pulley to be out of line,check the fan bearings fo...

The starter not engaging is usually caused by the clutch in the Bendix drive slipping,very common fault with the Bosch starter,I used to carry a spare Bendix to save time taking the starter to the repair shop,the cooling belt coming off is a serious issue,the engine must not be run without the belt ...

It is a simple physical thing,if the axle had the drain at the bottom and you set the steering wheel and seat position facing the engine the dumper would then be a conventional vehicle,but it is not a conventional vehicle and was purpose built to be the way it,very little of those dumper were made b...

You say you drove it into the barn meaning the engine was running and you stopped it and it will not start again? or do you mean something else come back as I am very familiar with Deutz engines and may be able to advise you.

That's the way the machine was built,the machine travels in reverse so the axle had to be turned around to suit,if you consider a conventional power train the engine is out front,clutch,gearbox axle,your dumper has the axle out front,gearbox.clutch and then engine so everything is back way,loosen th...

I don't think the block for the none turbo is the same either as there is no provision made for the cooling jets for the pistons,easier and less risky is change the whole engine and for what a little more speed on a hill that you can hardly notice
