Hello to the forum
I have gained so much info for years on this site, very grateful to all posting members. I am in the process of overhauling a 192ci diesel from a 4630 and found very little info on these tractors so I thought I would attempt to write up my own experiences. I am very much learning my way through a lot of this, and any tips are much appreciated.
The story:
This tractor was bought at an auction sight unseen with 1000~hours in the meter. Get it to the farm and she runs terribly, puffs a LOT of white smoke, even once warmed up. Intake was filled with oil, owner replaced the turbo. Running condition did not improve. Massive amounts of oil blowing out of crank breather tube on rocker cover.
The tractor was run in this condition for a lot of this past summer. During that time I did dry and wet compression tests revealing low compression and worn rings largely in cyl. 3 but also cyl. 2. Owner sends injectors out for rebuild.
To make matters worse I started seeing water in oil. Tractor is parked and overhaul is on deck for the winter.
So she was pulled inside last month and prepped for some fun work. Now I am in the middle of it!
I hope to update as I go with lots of pictures. Thanks to all who read
