A screw driver used in gear setup will check if plunger is stuck. If stuck and engine cranked over shaft will snap off. This is what has happened! [Reply]   [No Email]

I will try your suggestion next I work on the tractor. I ran out of time yesterday. It will soon freeze in Texas, and i was wanting to put antifreeze in it. Instead I just drained the water. I just got the tractor last Monday, and it seems to have been neglected in many ways. Thanks [Reply]  [No Email]

It is a square key with a pin that connects into shaft. I usually remove gear,clip and key to prime. If you put a cordless drill on shaft it is easy to prime rather than cranking motor over.

I turned and turned that little gear yesterday, and got no results. I realized I had the fuel valve closed. Once I opened the valve, I had plenty of fuel. We pull started the tractor, but it took about 1/2 mile (in road gear). That did not seem right. My other tractors start in about 15 feet. Do I have a pump problem, injector problems, or engine compression problems? [Reply]  [No Email]

Third has to be pressurized through pump with transfer pump. I think is runs CCW.If third filter not full with no airlocks it will not run. The pump plunger achieves the pressure and side gear setup rotates plunger gear to distribute to injectors. [Reply]  [No Email]
