The tractor had clocked up about 7,000 hours and the teeth on the clutch pack that controls third and fourxsth speed had worn to the extent that it was spinning in third. Recently, Mr Morley tackled this problem on a 6620. But if the tractor has done a lot of heavy work, clutch packs can wear. 6620 Auto Quad transmission clutch packĭeere’s Auto Quad has a good reputation for reliability and failures are rare. If the tractor hadn’t been driven with the broken valve, it would have been a much cheaper and simpler fix. The parts bill ran to about £7,000 and it was several days’ work.

Putting it right involved fitting a complete top-end engine overhaul kit, including pistons and liners, a cylinder head assembly with gaskets and uprated bolts, plus a turbo. Repeated hammering of the piston into the valve caused metal fragments to move throughout the engine, stuffing the turbo and the cylinder head, and eventually causing the piston to seize in the liner.

The tractor had been running a big square baler and the jolting caused the clip to snap. 7930 pto drive lossĪ simple circlip failure was responsible for causing a pto pack to stop driving on a 7930. Water pumps cost about £140 and they take roughly three hours to replace. It’s a simple one to diagnose, as the gauge shoots straight into the red and the overheating warning buzzer goes off. However, the fact that the tractor gets hot so quickly means it’s easy to spot before any damage is done. Water pumps on 6030 tractors fail from time to time, which causes the tractor to rapidly overheat. Replacement ECUs can be found for about £1,000, but they need to be programmed by a main dealer. Occasionally, a similar set of codes can be displayed if the ECU has failed.Ī simple way of telling the difference is that the engine hours – which are stored in the ECU – aren’t displayed on the dash. Those fitted with electric spools have another near the hydraulic pump.įor someone that doesn’t know what they’re doing these can be a bit of a fiddle to fit, but an experienced mechanic can do them in about an hour – expect to pay about £37 each for them, plus labour.
