This on a friend's industrial loader tractor...not certain of the model #. Has a three cylinder engine with the CAV rotary pump...gravity flow fuel system.
The friend had twisted off the end of the throttle shaft in the top-cover. He had bought new parts from a fuel pump repair company...and I put it together for him...new throttle shaft and throttle shaft/kill shaft o"rings and gasket. All went together fine and I've done a bunch of CAV top cover reseals on various tractors over the years....Fords Massy and Deere. I've always had trouble getting the gravity fed Fords bled and running again!...Not so much trouble with the others which usually have a primer pump.
I ran out of time yesterday with the little industrial Ford...I got it reassembled and new filter installed and bled. I'll have to go back in a day or so and bleed the pump. Anybody have advice to bleed the Ford CAV fuel system??
