Alright, time for the next phase of getting this old machine tuned up. Left steering clutch seems to be adjusted well, however; the right side I have to pull back considerably further for the same result. Seems like just an adjustment issue since it does still function, so stay tuned for updates!

It sounds like you still have an air issue. Nailed it! Yes he did! Hopefully others can learn from my experience, put an o-ring on that bleed screw! Also been thinking about the cab that's on this thing. I like it, but no way its gonna do much as ROPS. Any ideas on adding some additional framing in...

Hey guys I just wanted to update this thread for closure on the issues I listed. Last time I was on here I took a perfectly starting/running/operating machine and did a full fluids/filters change on it. Afterwards it wouldn't start well, would only run at wide open throttle, and had poor hydraulic p...

Alright guys, spring is here and I'm getting ready to mess with this old thing again. Hoping to clear a driveway in the next couple of months. When I put it back in the barn in the fall two new issues. Remember I just did a full fluids and filters change and these problems we're not present before I...

I was wondering about compression. But it always started just fine until I messed with the fuel system. Im gonna make sure the fuel delivery is ok first.

Finally got to operate it a bit last weekend. Im thinking my injection pump or injectors must be having some kind of problem or there is still air in the system. It now requires ether to start every time. In addition it only stays running at mid rpm or high. Anything below that and it stalls out. Ne...

Well I got it started back up this evening. I don't wanna talk about how much starter fluid I had to use. At least it was the kind with upper cylinder lubricant, and I used a spray bottle to mist some diesel into the intake between sprays of starter fluid. Given all the trouble getting it started I ...

Thats what I thought, but i wanted to make sure before I placed an order for the seals/rings. Anyone have one of those tools on here they would like to rent to me? Or any other experience based advice on how to install. Jim, you mentioned a bleeder on the injection pump head. What part do you mean? ...

That sounds like a good time haha. Where does one find this special tool?

Will I need to replace #13 ? Exhaust caps?

What numbers are you referring to when you say carbon stop? #11 is a rubber type oring. What makes them hard to change?

That's correct, where the injector goes into the head (See item #11 in diagram below). I didn't do anything to the bolt that holds them in (#9) but I think the movement of loosening the lines compromised the seals. Could that cause me an issue? http://jdcrawlers.lcent.com:8000/johndeere/albums/userp...

Jim, just wanna say thanks for all of the replies on here! So I have a steady dribble at each injector. I tried closing all but one and seeing if the pressure would build but I dont think the injectors are popping open. It could be cranking speed, poor starter got a work out today. Battery was dead,...

So I attempted to bleed the fuel system today. I was able to get the filters and injection pump bled. However, i can only get fuel to barely dribble out of the injector lines. Any idea what my problem might be? Its not even trying to start at all now. It usually fires right up.

Thanks for the step by step. Filter gaskets are good and seated correctly. I will attempt to bleed the rest tomorrow. One question, I noticed when I was trying to bleed the filters that I would use the primer and fuel would start to come out of the bleeder then slowly sink back into the fuel filter ...

Went to start it and no smoke. Obviously an issue with the post fuel filters bleeding. Can someone give me a step by step on how to bleed this entire system. Yes i have a manual, and its not helpful. Worth noting, the fuel filter housing only has one bleed port at the top of the rear filter. Also th...
