I was hoping you'd comment on my post below about "treasure" found in the sump by the suction screen in a 4020.


Was wondering if spring piece could be from a long-ago parking pawl issue.

Everything is working FINE, don't know if pieces are something to worry about or the remnants of long-repaired issues.

Interesting how the green-painted little washer found it's way in there.

This is the one I posted about earlier that I split for a low PTO pressure issue, which turned out to be a seal ring out of place from the last guy in there.

Load shaft seals were leaking badly as well, they were installed backwards!

ANYHOW, the owner isn't going to pursue any additional exploratory surgery at this time to see if the chipped gear has been previously replaced, or is still there waiting to get worse, gear in the PTO drivetrain, maybe???
 
I was looking at that,,and got busy,,the spring part looks like it could be off the park pawl,, and a lot of times little pieces from old repairs stay in the tractor,,when they show up latter it makes you nervous..I wouldn't worry about it.. here is what I found when I removed the intake manifold off a 4450 a couple weeks ago,,,the owner had a guy take the head off a couple years ago and said it had a strange rattle now and then,, then finally on of those bolts got past the valve and detonated the piston,, the bolts shown are 5 of the 6 3/8" X 1 1/4" intake bolts..Now "This" was some thing to worry about..

Probably dropped them in the intake and forgot where the were.
He should have searched harder.
 
I took the head off an 8640 that someone had left a 1/2" stubby combo wrench in the aftercooler and it ended doing the some thing.
 
Had a brand new new Holland skid loader come from the factory with a broke of drill bit plugging an oil galley
