Just purchased a 1958 diesel 550 Cockshutt and it is stuck in forward gear, I think you have to line up the 3 notches when you remove the stick shift but can't seem to move them with a bar, any Ideas? Thanks

I've already asked a couple of people about this, but am looking for as much information as I can find on the subject. My 550 doesn't have the flyball type governor on the front of the cam gear as listed in the parts book. Rather, it has a Hoof Products governor mounted on the center of the front cover. Th...

I have a 570D that is running fine except that the pump leaks a bit. Luckily, an extra pump came with the tractor and I have recently had it rebuilt. I've been reading the Service Manual and on pg 61 & 62 they talk about Bosch pump timing. So when I take off the pump front cover, I would expect to see the ge...

Still slowly working on the 570D with newly rebuilt Bosch pump. The timing I believe is now correct as it will fire with ether, but still will not start. One injector line is leaking at the pump connection and as I tighten it, it leaks more. Maybe the line itself is cracked? Any ideas? Thanks
