I installed the new injection pump today and the tractor runs fantastic.
Thank you all for the help.

Today I pulled the injector pump. When I removed the timing cover/window from the pump, I found the cavity packed solid with "mouse turds". I need to get the dozer running asap, so I'm picking up a "rebuilt" pump in the morning and with any luck, by lunch time I will be pushing dirt.

Thank you, jdemaris, for all of the helpful info. The new lifter pump finally came in late yesterday afternoon. Today I installed the new starter (what a difference) and new lifter fuel pump. Bled fuel filters, fuel line and injector lines. The tractor started right up ran a minute or so and then sh...

Thanks, I found the e-bay listing. The listings are for rebuilding pumps. You send them your pump, they rebuild it and send it back to you. $320 is much better than $600-$700. While on E-bay I also found the pump rebuild parts kits, only $26-$30. Does anyone know if there are different qualities of ...

I decided to wait to pull the IJ pump until I install the new lifter pump. Today, when I ran the electric fuel pump line to the IJ pump, I noticed that the IJ pump was emptying the in-line filter. I think that the electric fuel pump was not pumping enough gpm to keep up with the IJ pump. The electri...

I ordered my new starter it is scheduled for delivery today and the new lifter pump should be in tomorrow or Monday. Today I bypassed the lifter pump which runs off of the cam and the existing fuel lines. I hooked a 12 volt fuel pump to an external fuel container and then to the fuel filter assemble...

Thanks for the heads up on the rubber plug. Maybe I should order the repair kit and have it in hand before I take out the filter.

Thank you for the photos. That was the type on the earlier 350's. I was looking for the Airtex because that is what was original to my tractor. I'll check on the price of the sofabex pump from JD or I'll call Tisco. Now that I know where the filter is in the IJ pump, I'll clean it out. I did a searc...

I can try to test the lifter pump with my thumb, but I don't know if it will help me. The lifter pump is very low pressure and is suppose to pump 3 quarts per minute at 1600 camshaft rpm with 2 psi outlet pressure. It will tell me if the pump can hold pressure or not. My local JD dealer has the lift...

Thank you for the quick reply. I think that my fuel transfer pump may be bad. When I changed my fuel filters, I had to turn off the fuel at the bottom of the tank because it was just free-flowing from the tank through the lifter pump. I have an Airtex lifter pump, not serviceable, I'm waiting for a ...

350 B Starving for fuel

I have a 1972 350 B straight blade dozer. It runs great for 30 seconds to 20 minutes then it starves for fuel and shuts off. I am able to restart it without any problems. The machine sat for about 2 years, I put in a new battery and it started right up and ran fine for a few days, then this problem ...
