Hi guys,
I am trying to determine the right way to proceed to confirm diagnosis of my MF165 and make plans to repair.
In another thread, DieselTech and David P. have suggested that overheating has damaged rings or otherwise degraded compression. I believe they are right. I cannot start the tractor. I have tried everything including boosting. I was experiencing significant blow the last time I run. The entire conversation to this point is under thread MF165 Thermostat Removal.
My question is.... How can I confirm this diagnosis prior to committing to a tear down and rebuild? Can I measure compression properly turning on the starter motor only?
Any other advice? What's the right way to proceed?
Jamie
