Hi everyone
I have a Ford 3000 and I am in Au if that makes a difference at all. Looking for some insight into a problem. Up until now this tractor has been very reliable. Fantastic tractor for smaller jobs.
I was using it to do a little ripping and after a while the ground got very bumpy and after my kidneys fell out the old girl stopped. Loss of power and then the motor died. There was a fuel supply issue that I identified as a blocked fuel tap (previous owner had taken the screen off and I suspect I had stirred up crap with the bouncing around).
I replaced the tap (the tap has a very slow leak) and the old girl still dies. Especially if heading up an incline. Reprime and she is good to go.
I am heading out today to replace the o-ring in the brand new tap (bare-co) because it is easier than pulling out the tap and hope that will fix this issue. However, I thought I would post here asking people with more experience if this could be an issue that is commonly experienced and I should be looking for something else? I don’t remember which injector pump it had on it sorry. The bleed screw is located on the side of a square housing.
