Hey Guys! I decided to go from a 1949 Ford 8N to a 1966 Ford 5000 diesel. Needed the extra size and horsepower to pull a 8' wide Bush Hog.
This is my first diesel and need a little help.
1st-I have 3 fuel return lines. One from the fuel filter to a dead end on the left side of the tractor. The next fuel return line is from the injectors to the top of the fuel tank. I guess it is going back to the tank, but have not confirmed by removing the cowling.The third fuel return line starts at the beginning of the intake manifold and dead ends on the left side of the tractor. Question: Should all 3 be linked together and go back to the fuel tank? Wouldn't the one from the intake manifold create pressure in the gas tank?
2nd-Which is the best shop in both price and quality of work to rebuild my injector pump? What is a typical price range for this work?
3rd-I went up a small hill today and the tractor sputtered and quit. I let it sit for a few minutes and it started for a short time(minute or less), but quit again. I manually pumped the fuel lift pump and it started. Is this a sign of trash in the lines?
