I have a SMD with a brand new overhaul with 10 hours total run time. I drained the first oil after the first heat cycle and then after 10 hours. I found maybe 10 pieces of sand in the drain pail which i had cleaned beforehand. So I cut the oil filter apart and there is probably a teaspoon of sand all throughout this filter. Freaking out, I cut the oil filter apart from my Super C and it has the same looking sand in it as well but not nearly as much. I am a maintenance freak and am super picky.
I use Case/IH No. 1 in the SMD, Case/IH Low Ash in the Super C,Fleetguard Oil filters from Case/IH.
I showed the filters to my local IH service manager and he was perplexed. Said it looked like my oil system was open in a gravel pit during rock crushing operations.
I am a super clean freak. All maintenance performed in my closed garage. Garage is always locked up.
It looks like my hot oil pressure may be down some on the Super C as it now low idles slightly in the red.
Anyone else ever seen this before? Are my motors doomed? I have 10 grand in the SMD motor and am sick.
Thanks,
Dan
