I am having trouble keeping the 856 running. I am disking a field and the tractor runs fine for about 10 minutes. It then speeds up for a couple of seconds and then it loses power until it stops. Wait about 3 minutes starts up and repeats the cycle. Am I looking at a fuel filter, injector or pump?

Hi all,
Just wanted to let you know that the fuel filter was the problem. I guess it was a coons age since they have been replaced. Running like a top now. This is one heck of a tractor!!!!

Thanks for all your help!

Also see if the return fitting inthe top of the injection pump is restricted. Fuel has to be able to return to the tank

I would be looken at a blockage in the fuel tank unless the filters have not been changed in a coons age. It realy sounds like something is getting over the inlet in the fuel tank , and if like normal the tank is full and ya can mot see the bottom. Over the years i have found BEES WASPS paper towels rags wood pices of plastic and a ball bearing just the perfect size to cover the inlet . So first i would check fuel flow and the fuel cap for propper venting then work my way on down before i started pullong a pump off . Now if everything checks out on fuel flow then i would pull the timming window off the pump and see if ya have stuff that looks like coffee grounds . If ya find them then it is time for a pump rebuild .

I just went out and ran it again and it ran fine for about 10 minutes and this time the rain drove me off the field. I will check out the possibles you guys have identified. Will I have to drain the tank to get to the bottom? Do you have any tricks/tips about checking out the tank?

Thanks for all your help.

You should have a shut-off valve at the bottom of the tank. Close it. Unhook the line from the tank to the primary filter at the filter head. Put a beer can under the line, and open the shut-off valve. should be able to fill that beer can in less than 15 seconds. Myself, I'd try filters first, then I'd check the flow out of the tank, then I'd check for the governer weight ring inside the pump breaking up and plugging the return line. We just had a combine in the shop that had one of those Asian beetle ladybug things stuck in the sediment bowl standpipe. Owner of that machine thought he was going to have to buy a new injection pump, he got that machine done in half an hour and $0 in parts.
