[AT] 8.9 liter Perkins

[Cecil Bearden]

  I can find my factory manual for the 1155, I will post a pic of it.  
It had a charging pump that also provided pressure for the brakes and 
multi power.   Then a priority valve dropped the pressure for the 
steering and remotes, then when the lift needed pressure the pump 
provided the higher pressure...    It was just too complicated to be 
reliable.....

The heat I was referring to was on the 7030 Allis.  Engine heat poured 
thru the dash like being in front of a hair dryer.    I filed it with 
foam caulking and some belting to be able to disk without the cab being 
100 deg...

In one mobile equipment project, we used flow over a pressure relief valve to heat hydraulic fluid to the minimum temperature needed to allow the main pumps to operate.

MF left out a snap ring in the PTO clutch and it did not work for the original owner.  It was 6 years old when we bought it.  We had to pull the cab and the top deck to find the problem.  A few years later my Dad put the wrong oil in the hydraulics and the multi power and PTO started to have problems.   Later found the O-rings were going bad and to repair meant nearly a complete disassembly of the tractor.   It went to Mexico.

After I sealed off the dash to get the Air conditioner working it was  very good tractor and very simple. The problem with it now is a large diameter O-ring in the main clutch is going bad.  It means a split of the tractor, but can be repaired for a 2 day job...
