I just purchased a 135 diesel and first thing I did a complete maint (changed all filters and fluids). I was warned that priming the system was a pain and took forever. I followed the specs in manual and primed with filter vent open, then lower vent on pump, then upper, then cracked injector line. I still cannot get it to fire back up, and I spent at least an hour trying. Is there anything I am missing or an easier way to do this? I am doing this alone, so I cannot even see if bubbles are coming out, I can only tell if fuel does/does not come out.

Thanks

I feel your pain...I did the same thing to my 135 last year, and I'm not looking forward to doing it again this year. I suggest start bleeding at the valve on the injector pump closest to the line running to the filter. Work out until you get to the injectors. If I remember correctly there are at least 2 bleed valves on the injector pump. Break the injector nuts and make sure your not getting air at the injectors. If it makes you feel any better, it took me an hour or more to get the tractor to start....Lol

A 135 should not be any trouble to bleed,vent the system at both filter heads,then the lower bleed on the injector pump,then the upper,slacken a couple of injector pipes,does not matter which end or which ones,stop control in run,throttle set at max fuel,crank engine on starter,you should soon hear the injector pump start to rattle as it begins to pump fuel,tighten one of the injector pipes,the engine should begin to show smoke and start to fire,then tighten the remaining pipe,the engine should now pick up and run.The injctor pump will only fully bleed by venting at the injector pipes by cranking on the starter,not by operating the priming lever on the lift pump.This process will work on any engine fitted with the C.A.V. type D.P.A. fuel injector pump. Hope this helps
