NW KS/ SC ID | Hey all,
I have a friend of a friend that is having a tough time with his 8830 that he just bought this winter.
It loves to overheat.
All the common stuff has been looked at, mechanical guage in addition to OEM (confirms overheat), new t-stats (pretty sure not OEM New Holland), radiator, fan clutch, lift pump, ensured plentiful fuel supply (blew back supply) etc.
He is trying to pull a 22 foot Glencoe Soil Finisher, and if thats too much load, he had issues in the cold grinding hay with it running hot then as well, so it does not seem to follow the load, or the season, just the tractor.
It fires up, runs smooth, burns clean, throttle responsive (blows black when you nail the throttle, but clears nearly instantly when turbo spools), etc.
It does have a sharp "crack" to the exhaust sound when its idling. Is it possible for the slotted gear to be slipping and changing the timing causing it to run too advanced or retarded? It does not appear that the pump has ever been monkeyed with, but that is not outside the realm of possibilities. I assume these are easy enough for some previous guy to have monkeyed with and it might be running too much fuel?
Any input appreciated,
Thanks!
