No worries. Document everything you can in this fix so a reader in the future will say the same thing to you about this thread!!

I tried removing my injectors and gave up. I've gotta pull my head and take it to someone that can get them out.

Does your injectors have studs with nuts to hold them down, or do you have bolts that you can take out? Reason I am asking, mine have bolts, and I was able to take a flat punch about 1/4 in thick and tap on the flange of the injectors back and forth until I saw some slight movement, once you get them to turn you can take a small pry bar to get them to come up.

Mine have bolts. I'll try that this Winter. Thanks for the tip!!

I found that dirt and moisture can get down in the hole around the injector even though there is a cork seal. You may try some light weight oil down around the injector to help free it up.

Thanks again for your help. I'll let you know how it turns out.

THOSE injectors are just about the worst to have to pull.. other than that JD w/ a Yanmar engine that I had to buy the tool from Hoye, to remove.
Theres usually a "flat spot" right before the top nut that u can use a Cresent Wrench to grab & turn.. therefore breaking the rust bond..
Soaking them down is a GREAT option..
What u DONT want to do is> grab it by the TOP nut.. THATS the pressure adjuster..
Good luck..

I should have the rebuilt injection pump back shortly, along with three rebuilt injectors. Apparently before I got this tractor someone had been into the pump and left something out of it according to the Man who rebuilt it. Should be good now. He is letting me use a modified injector with compression gauge, so I can check the compression before I install the new injectors. Hoping it will be good and we can fire up this 3910 and see what we have.
