What is the best way to go about testing the compression of each cylinder on a td-20? My manual shows a specialized tool (that I don't have) that goes inplace of the injector. Is their a conventional style tester that someone knows of that I could pick up locally that will work in it's place?

Hi, Rich. I once saw a mechanic who was a cross between a computer and a horizontal social worker attempt to test the compression of a diesel engine in a tractor with a conventional gas engine compression tester. He removed the injectors and had somebody turn the engine on the starter while he held the comp. tester in the injector hole. The comp. tester hit the tin roof 12 feet above his head and his hand had only just let go before it hit. He had the longest arm I have ever seen for about 3 days. He had been told. Use the RIGHT equipment. THAT is what it is made for. Buy it, hire it, borrow it or, God forbid, steal it, but do it safe. You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Hi, Robert. And with all his best efforts, unless he cut that patch out and completely replaced it, that mark would remain to remind him until the death of the machine. Be safe. You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
