Quote: CVPost-SVcummins (quoted from post at 17:53:12 07/16/21) I dont use ether on my tractors as well
I hear you. The previous owner had install a new pump - lines all messed up. My brother got those straightened out and we finally got it to start, but with a shot of ether. Engine sounds strong, real strong, no smoke at all. My brother believes the pump not timed properly. From all the manuals we have he doesn't see the noted timing mark or reference point.
Throttle wide open as per instructions it's just on the verge of wanting to start.
The previous owner is well into his 80s and I don't think not all quite there. The owner told of paying for the pump, $1700 something. That's when he let it set. And it's been sitting 4 or 5 years....Brother had bleed the fuel lines to and from the fuel filters and the fuel lines to the injectors. Back end sitting low and a hydraulic leak didn't help. 7 gallons low on hydraulic oil. Fixed in heart beat. Power steering didn't work, so jacked up the front and moved the wheels by hand to get the fluid moving - air locked it seemed. Steers like a Cadillac now.
Picture to show the nightmare we started with. The old farmer said he had it running. My brother says there is no way this tractor could run with hoses all wrong, especially feeding right back into the pump....
