As discussed - I have a 2T6672W with 6U71 engine.
#41 Rear Hyd. and a Dakota Angle Blade.
Previous input included that I have the "small final drives".

I am installing new pumps and nozzles - and recalibrating the injection pump assembly/rack.
Many different parts and pieces are found on this machine...
I have 3F1669 injection cam and 5F1941 spring.

As I am learning to read the proper manuals, it would seem that this set up was for a 6U7049 up/7U15662 up and properly set would have high idle @1735 and 60.5 hp.
Should I retain these settings or should I slow down (and less hp) to earlier settings (1525 and 51 hp) to save wear and tear on the 2T components ?

Thank you, as always - you are a great & knowledgeable group - to be able to get input from.

I'd say it depends on how you expect to use the tractor. If your going to really work it hard then match components to the original hp setting. For occasional use, medium loading, rarely pushing it you can probably get away with the higher hp setting without problems.

Would you be kind enough to post the 3H1690 instructions, again.
I have gone back and read that you had posted these - but the file does not show up.
... Or point me in the direction of where the file is.
Thank you !
