1755 Fuel Issues

Part Time Pete · Jul 29, 2017

I was baling with my 1755 today and it started to run out of power - it would idle but die when you put load to it. It was low on fuel, so I
figured that might be it - I dumped ten gallons in it and it started right up and ran fine. However, twice while I finished the load, it just
quit suddenly - like the fuel was shut off.
I'm guessing it's something to do with the injection pump, but does anybody have any idea's?
Thanks

I would check fuel filters and fuel flow from the fuel tank. Some bug or debris could have got into the fuel tank and it is restricting fuel flow to the injection pump.

I would say the same thing. I think it has sucked a piece of trash into the fuel supply line or the filters. Change the filters. If that doesn't work, check the flow from the tank at the supply line at the filters. If it's low flow, then blow compressed air back through the supply line to the tank.

Thanks guys
The filters only have 75 hours on them, but I've got a spare set, so I'll try that first
It's seems odd though, that the last two times it quit, it was if you pulled the fuel shut off - I couldn't even stop quick enough to let the baler clear. But then it started right up and ran fine

That engine uses a Roosa Master pump, doesn't it?

If it has a sediment bowl check it for a air leak not fuel. Don't ask how I know about that,

First check the lines and filters to make sure you have a good stream of fuel to the injection pump. Does this tractor have a lift pump? Most 1755's don't, but I think some do. If lift pump is good, and all filters and lines are good, your injectornoump is probably going bad. They have a plastic ring in the governor section that comes apart and clogs the fuel return line. They shut off, but will restart and run a little while before doing it again. It will get worse and worse. Roosamasted pumps are usually not too expensive to have rebuilt.

When my Ford 9000 did that it was blocked where the return tees into the supply line.

Thanks again guys
I changed the filters, and there seems to be plenty of fuel to the injection pump. It will start immediately after shutting down, and run great, so I'm leaning toward the injection pump. A buddy of mine is into pulling and knows a pump guru - I'll see what's involved in a rebuild
I baled 500 bales with it today, and it only quit once, but to shut a baler down with it's mouth full isn't the greatest of situations..

Did you ever figure out the problem with this? Sounds like what mine is doing?

sclee1080, getting a complete job done on a pump costs $700.00 draining and flushing your tank and lines and filters is under $30.00.
