Hi, I have a White 2-105 and I ran out of fuel while blowing the snow. My tractor is now stuck in the middle of nowhere at a freezing temperature of -10F without wind !!! Does anybody knows the procedure to bleed the fuel system? I cant get the engine firing. Some help would greatly be appreciated. If somebody has the repair manual, could it be possible to scan the concerned pages and send it by email?

Thanks. Tony

Why not refer to your manual they generally give a pretty good discription of how this should be done..... .....

On top of all the other suggestions here, you need to look at the injector pump. I don't know what kind of pump it uses, but there are usually one or more bleeder ports on the pump. If you can get the fuel up that far, you may not have to bleed it all the way to the injectors. My father runs his out regularly and I have to bleed it for him...

I never open the filters, just fill it back up and bleed the air out at the bleeder ports on the injector pumps.

The only real trick (once you find the ports) is that sometimes you have to turn the motor over to just the right place for the little pump handle to work on the fuel pump. If you pump it and it doesn't feel like it's doing anything (ie: you don't feel any resistance) try turning the engine a little to see if you can get it to pump better. If not, just crank the engine while you're opening the bleeder ports.

Also, keep a wrench on the bleeders. When you stop cranking (or pumping), close them immediately to keep from sucking in more air. If none of this works, you'll have to bleed the injectors either at the pump or at the injector. You can usually get by with just bleeding them at the injector pump so you don't have to break the lines loose at the injector.

Good luck, stay warm!

Good Point, Kerry. I'll have to look at mine and see if I have a bleeder on the injection pump. I was so PO'd when I ran it out of fuel that I didn't even think to look! Thanks for the tip.

Tony,

A lot of those injector pumps have a little hand pump to prime the pump. Don't know if yours has this feature or not.

Tony,

Fill your tank again, pull the filters and fill them as full as you can get 'em.

And crank. She'll go after a time.

Been there, done that on a Ford 4610! Open the hood, find the injectors. You'll see a nut where the fuel tube goes to each injector. Make sure there is fuel in the tank and bleed the fuel filter(s) to get fuel up to the main pump. Then crack the fitting on the injector and crank til you see fuel leak out around the injector fitting. You can do all the injectors at once if you want. Then tighten the fittings and start her up. You gotta' have a good battery to do this so you might want to take your pickup and some good jumper cables when you try. It helps to have some one crank the engine while you observe the goings on under the hood. Hope this helps. Good Luck!
