Ford 5000, smoking badly after replacing fuel pump

Yeager_Farms · May 26, 2014

Hello, I was wondering if I could pick someone's brain...

I just had my ford 5000 in the shop to replace it's fuel pump.
While there the mechanic said there was an injector out so we
replaced that too. But now the tractor is smoking blue pretty
badly and if idled up sounds like it's missing pretty badly. The
tractor set unused after my father passed away for about 5
years until we had it put into the shop. The smoke smells
strongly of diesel. I can't really tell that it is using any oil. Does
anyone have an idea if possibly it's because it was sitting so
long or is possibly the diesel injection isn't set right and
throwing to much diesel?

Thanks everyone

Have you checked pump timing? Not sure where a 5000 is timed at, but a 3000 is 18 deg. btdc if I remember correctly, an 8000 is 23 deg. btdc, and TW35 is 25 degrees, so I'd guess a 5000 should be somewhere in that range. That's an easy thing to check if you haven't already and very well may be the cause. Hope this helps.

Thank you very much and no I haven't had it back but a day from the shop. It's wasn't really in a shop but it was a local guy that works on equipment on the side. I have it inside my barn shop right now and I will look for the manual on it to check the timing. I kind of expected this to be the problem. Thanks!

5000 Timing is 19 degrees. I'd have the injectors checked if not done already.

Injection timing is too far retarded. Factory setting is 19 degrees BTDC, I'd shoot for around 21 myself.
