Hi, It would be too easy to blame it on the main fuel pump at this stage. There are a few other things to be checked first. Have you checked all of the battery connections particularly the earth ones? Is your battery putting out full power. Is the starter turning at its correct speed? If all of the electrical side is ok then your problem could be related to a partial loss of compression through normal wear and tear. It is not uncommon to be able to start some tractors with a quick tow as this produces a quicker cranking speed than the starter will. A more rapid compression of air/fuel mixture will produce greater heat and then ignition. When the tractor is running slacken each injector individually and listen for the engine changes. All should be equal. Check also that the 'STOP' control is working correctly. When trying to start on the starter are you getting smoke from the exhaust? If the electrical, compression and fuel supply are good then injectors may be at fault. What hours has the tractor done? Have they been serviced. Unfortunately last and most expensive may be the fuel pump. DavidP, South Wales

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
