Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ColtRifle:
It is metal shavings. That's one of the reasons for having a magnet at the filter....pull those magnetic metal particles out. You might be surprised at how much metal shavings your oil filtration system pulls out of an engine and even more so, a transmission. Most transmissions have magnets inside to help catch that metal. Some people even put a magnetic oil plug or magnetic oil dipstick on engines.....helps to remove excess metal shavings.....which all engines and transmissions have. But to me, that's quite a bit of metal. My 91 Trooper that had been sitting for six years--the one I rehabbed last spring to pull the trailer in the never-ending education thread?--yeah, it had far less metal than that on the magnetic plugs and I was still concerned. Maybe that's not appropriate for a tractor, and maybe tractors have more metal shavings, but....since the goal is zero metal to metal contact because you have amazing, expensive oil in there....my very basic but relatively complete understanding of how internal combustion engines work means.....I worry about metal shavings. Y'all can tell me--and I hope you will--if that's not more than I should expect on a tractor, cuz shaved metal in a crankcase tends to worry me. 
Edited third time. Autocorrect is pissing me off....

I've pulled drain plugs on transmissions and differentials that had magnets on them. They all had very fine metal shavings on the magnets, but I've just never seen shavings that big. The shavings I've found on the magnets were so fine that mixed with the oil they almost seemed like a paste.

Cut the development road edges from the house out to the road with the 1025R & Caroni finish mower.
Then switched out the finish mower for the trailer mover & hauled the dump trailer with about 2.5 - 3 yards of topsoil out to the yard location designated by SWMBO ... (The dirt was from out at the acreage, part of a pile that accumulated while clearing a circle drive for moving equipment in & out. Loaded it today with the 3038e left out there for bush hogging but no pics.) 
The 1025R is really too light to be dealing with that trailer & load if the area wasn't as flat as it was, both because the trailer brakes couldn't be used and because when dumping the load on the ball can go negative (note to self: homebrew a lighter socket powered brake control box or controller host...). Raising the front a bit with the FEL down & bucket at full dump was a good precaution even with a small slope while dumping... Nick |

Continuing in the theme of asking too much of the 1025R ...
The wife wants a flagpole installed before July 4, so I have been putting together materials to build one roughly 28' tall from galvanized schedule 40 pipe, using a tip-up design. Part of the process is making a foundation that will accomodate two pieces of 2" pipe 2" apart & set in about 4' deep. Since the 3038e is out at the acreage I thought I'd take a chance & try the 1025R with the 12" auger... 
The 1025R has about half the 3pth lift capacity of the 3038e, so this was a tough job for it - especially with the 12" auger & having the arms lifting from the lowest of the attachment points (for max height). It nearly got the the point of needing to get out the 3' pipe wrench to "unscrew" the auger a couple of times towards the end when the yellow clay tried to claim it. Luckily a little rocking eased it enough to finally rise up each time. The job got done, but kind of a nail biter along the way. The 1025R might do ok with a 6" auger, but 12" into a clay layer was asking a bit much if doing more than one... Nick |
