brass in pan of Ford 1620 tractor

asmith613 · Sep 2, 2015

I posted earlier and was able to get pan off,
I had a ting noise by the exhaust now have brass in pan
everything looks clean, brass from oil pump? any suggestions?

not oil pump I don't think. most likely bearing material.

I thought so, some of the brass was in oil when drained but larger pieces stayed in pain
couldn't get through screen?
if pump wouldn't make it through screen to pan?

I know NOTHING of the specific construction of that engine, but my first suspects would be crankshaft thrust bearing/washer issues or something in the geartrain/accessory drive area at the front of the engine. Probably an idler up there involved in driving the hydraulic pump?

bet you have major failure. the pump screen is on suction side of pump, as not to allow pieces INTO pump.

Major pump issue?
engine issue?

Looking closer and with others they are slivers of brass not chunks.
Meaning bearing material/shavings?
Due to lack of oil being pumped?

I would think a thrust washer would be a possibility.

(quoted from post at 18:14:47 09/02/15) I would think a thrust washer would be a possibility.

I will look into it

so it was a bearing. It was center bearing in connecting rod bearings but back and front bearings were fine. Why only center?
Oil goes from main crank shaft bearing to connecting rod bearing.
Anyone have experience with this and was main crank bearings be ok?
