1020 JDB331AL2405 injection pump

With the timing marks lined up, the pump couldn't slide onto the shaft and be within the limits of the hold down studs, so I put it where it had been before. Crankshaft was at TDC compression no. 1. Now, with no. 1 injector cracked open and hand turning the crankshaft, it pumps the fuel around where no. 2 is at tdc compression. I understand the mechanics of crank pulley, idler pulley, anf pump drive pulley, and the mark on the pump drive pulley is pointing to the center of the crank at no. 1 tdc.

Any help, opinions, or whatever would be apprciated. Thanks.

Give your engine serial number - and some history.
The engine number will tell exactly what pump is supposed to be on there and IF it was ever changed over with an update kit from Deere.

I attached two photos - one of what the pump driveshaft end should look like at TDC and also of the timing pin at the back of the engine.

The AL2405 pump you mentioned should only be on a 1020 with an engine ser. # 117,500 or newer.

I think just about every possible problem has already been explained or discussed in the April posts. Also, I gave you instructions on how to air-time that pump to verify when it's actually firing. Do you ever do that? Also - did you verify TDC via the timing pin at the back of the engine? (not the front crank pulley)

I don't know what pulleys you are referring to when you mentioned . . .

"idler pulley, anf pump drive pulley, and the mark on the pump drive pulley" . . .

- do you mean the timing gears in the front of the engine?

Also - did you check the TDC location by using the diesel timing pin that goes into the engine flywheel? That is the preferred method for verifying TDC on a 1020 diesel - not the front crankshaft pulley.

The connection - from the crankshaft to the injection pump is all gears and a shaft - nothing else. If something is off - it has to be overt.

#1 - the timing gear hooked to the injection pump shaft. Either it's in time, or it's not. Unless - someone either left the little woodruf key out or bent it - where the shaft attaches to the gear. Takes a 5/32" X 5/8" key. That is if your tractor originally came with the JDB type pump. Many 1020s did not and were converted - and those have special conversion driveshafts.

#2 - the pump driveshaft. Has it been changed - and are you sure it's the original and correct?
I don't think it can twist and be off since it is designed to act like a "fuse" and snap at its narrow section - if the pump turns too hard.

#3 - if you know all is OK with the aforementioned #1 and #2 . . . then the problem has to be with the pump - which is not possible unless the pump was put together with the wrong parts. Keep in mind thought - most 1020s came with AL2406 pumps - NOT AL2405 - and there is a 1 degree difference between the two in timing marks.
Also a difference in fuel delivery.

Beyond that - there is nothing else. If #1, #2, and #3 are correct - it has to be right.

What is the history?

Did it run when you got it and the die?

Did your problems begin after a pump repair?

I truly appreciate your help and extensive knowledge, textbook and real world. You obviously go(went) to your work for much more than punching a clock and collecting a paycheck. I, as a cranberry farmer, also have that luxury.
I haven't been over to the 1020 yet, but should mention the history.

1020 s/n 31919 T around 1966 gas

cylinder head cracked on gas engine

bought a boneyard 152 DT 06 from a 350B dozer
engine s/n around 249000
thought we'd bolt it in and run the excess fuel line to the gas/diesel tank. tank already has 1/8" pipe plug to take out and plug fuel return line into.
it took a little more work to mate the newer diesel to an older 1020. fortunately, boneyard had a 310 backhoe to take some parts from.
One of the best things we did was to take the power steering column/housing from our newer 300 industrial and try it on the 1020. worked great. found a used one for $300. threw the p/s pump away and cut a blanking plate for the hole.

From the parts books I've seen the 2405 injection pump is correct.

I'll get over today and mess with it.
