It seems (and I am not sure why or what changed becaused everything was working fine) that my lift lever is now hitting the upper edge of the opening in the dash not allowing the linkage enough travel to push the valve in to move the cylinder. I tried to move the valve up on the steering column but ...

The supers came out to get some sun, but they are a little sad since there little sister 1572 is in the shop in need of a valve job. Hopfully she will be ready for plow day.

Finally found out why 1572 would not start. It seems the valves are worn and does not allow for enough compression. The head is at the machine shop now. I am just waiting to see what the cost for valve job will be. I am guessing not cheap. I am hopeing to have it back for the PA plow day. I was look...

Frank what supers do you have and how much do you want?

There may be a differance in price depending where you are located. I have seen this 1872 go for $2000, another 1872 with deck go for $2175, a 982 with rear pto, 3pnt and deck for $2625 and another rougher 1872 with deck for $1800. The guy that bought the one for $2000 drove 3hrs and paid full price...

Recently a very very nice 1872 was for sale near me. It was one of the nicest I ever saw. It sold in less than 24hrs for full price $2000. No 3pnt, rear pto or deck just tractor.This got me thinking what would an equally equipped and conditioned 1572 or 1772 be worth. I have been told a diesel is wo...

Anybody know the proper operating temp of a 1772.

Dave never got a chance to get compression tested. Tractor is on trailer ready to go but with all the snow I have not had time to get it looked at. ( I have been plowing ). I also bought this 1772 and have been working on it. I plan on getting it looked at soon so I am ready for up coming plow day. ...

I was topping off the radiator today and did not remember I had stored some hydro fluid in an old antifreeze jug. I poured probably 1/2 to an oz of hydro fluid into the radiator before I realized I had the wrong jug. How big a deal is this?

Anybody know of any good replacement for the temp gauge on a 1772. Kubota still offers one but they want $130. I can't find where the probe is on the engine if there is a probe. From looking at a wireing diagram there is non.
Any help well appreciated.

My alternator/water pump belt broke. Tractor over heated. I got the belt on and now tractor won't start I got full tank of fuel, I cracked the fuel line at injector and got fuel. I have good battery cranks very well. When it cranks I get alot of white smoke and it sounds like it wants to start but i...

Well I went from bad to worse. I got the belt on and now tractor won't start I got full tank of fuel, I cracked the fuel line at injector and got fuel. I have good battery cranks very well. When it cranks I get alot of white smoke and it sounds like it wants to start but it won't. The fuel shut off ...

Feeling silly had dead battery and over heating and missed broken altenator belt. I did look but in my defence I just had eye surgery last Wendesday so sight is a little off.Thanks for the input.

My 1572 is running hot, needle is all the way to the right. Coolant level is good, screen is clean and I have top hose insulated over engine. Tractor has run fine for years now running hot. Any thoughts?

I just finished putting the rear PTO back together even though I dont think the bearing was bad I replaced it. Original bearing was NSK 62062DU and I replaced it with a Koyo 62062RSC3. The problem was the armature was not smooth and needed to be adjusted there really is no air gap adjustment like on...

I just replaced the field coil on the rear PTO on my 1572. The coil is working fine my problem now is that when the coil is off the armature continues to spin. When the PTO is off and engine is off the amrmature spins freely but you can hear it rubbing the roto alittle. I think it is warped alittle ...

I finished drive shaft converstion not too bad. I changed because charge pump shaft was bad and leaking. First I changed hydro pump to newer style. It was cheaper than replacing charge pump shaft. Next I had engine adapter plate made. Non to be found. Cost for plate $50. Took a drive shaft from a cy...

Anybody know if a rear pto field can be rebuilt or who might do it?

Its a 1572 the used pump is 300 a new shaft alone is 300 plus install. Also trying to decide if pump can come out without removing rear. I have 3pt and rear pto.

Just removed the charge pump shaft is shot. I see two options get a used hydro or install new shaft. any thoughts. I believe used pump will be cheaper.

Anybody have experiance switching to newer cv joint driveshaft on a1572. How hard is it. And does it fit right in or are there modifications that need to be done.

Anybody have experiance changeing front seal on hydro pump on a 1572. I am talking about the front seal on the charge pump. Or can direct me to a thread where already discussed. Not sure if I just replace seal or bearing too. How difficult is job.
Thanks for the help

Joe thanks for the info any idea what part number the seal is. I tried to look it up but was a little confused. can I leave the hydro pump in or does that need to come out too.

I have a leak on my 1872 It seams to be coming from between the hydro pump and the rear housing. It is running down next to the expansion plug and off the bottom of it. Every thing on top looks dry. Any help appreciated.

I was just looking at the steering. What I noticed . With the steering wheel off I can grab the stud and turn it back and forth about a 1\4 turn. At each end point it has a hard stop as it slams into something in the column which sounds to be behind the gas tank. Everything up front seems ok. There ...

I just picked up another 1872 and I see it has about a 1\4 turn of the wheel before the front axel starts to move. I have read the other threads about steering slop but they were not for tractors with power steering. It seems to me the movement is in the column. any help appreciated.

My 1572 was a bear to start in cold weather. I was going to install a block heater this year but before I could get it done my starter went bad. So I decided to go with the gear reduction starter. WOW what a differance. 40 sec. on the glow plug and one crank and it running. I went out at 4:30 this m...

Thanks for the reply I am not looking for a parts diagram I am looking for an actual photo to see what the decal actually looked like.

I am looking for a picture of a # 4 trailer to see what the original decals looked like for a trailer I have. This trailer is in mint condition. It even has the original White wheel caps ( am told very rare ) also original latch spring. It has been painted all I need are the decals.

Thanks
Charles

Steve thanks again the diagram is very helpful. I will get this done this weekend
