I was too stubborn to give up. after running it on half a can of ether, it finally got the air out of the lines and started up. Despite my efforts to loosen the lines and purge the air, there was still some in there which was not letting it run. Now it fires up almost instantly and runs much...

yeah, im definetly not getting 200 rpms. I charged the battery and it starts to fire but its really cold here and the battery dies before it has a chance to self sustain. I will try to use the sledgehammer method - ether it. After unplugging the manifold heater of course.

Well, this thing is a pain in the butt. Yeah, I know you will say that i am the problem haha. Anyways, I put the pump back in, cracked the injection lines loose, fuel shoots out when cranking. I took the injectors out and hooked one up, when cranking it pops off and shoots fuel. When I put...

Thanks, I will get on the phone and see what I can find

tractor needed a haircut so it got onto the barber chair

Well, the seal kit I got happens to have a new copper washer for that screw... Will throw it in.

Facepalm moment 🤦‍♂️... I forgot the little screw that plugs the hole in the rotor under the vane pump... ugh...

Hello, anyone know where I could find a ford 770 loader? (For a good deal of course :D) Looking for one for my 1700. Thanks

Put the pump together and no dice. The drops come out of the injection lines faster, but still no spray. If I take the banjo fittings off the pump head, there is a pretty strong shot of fuel out of the pump head distribution ports. Ideas?

And just like a complete dummy, I forgot where the short and long plungers go. Do they go closer to the bolt holes or do the longer ones go closer to the bolt holes?

The plungers were so stuck I didn't risk hitting them harder. I figured the rotor has nothing to loose, so with some heat I was able to hammer them out. (DW wasn't extremely hot, I could still pick it up with my hands)

I unscrewed the transfer pump vane holder off the shaft... The little plungers I was just going to put some light polishing compound on, should be enough to free them up.

Okay, an update. Diesel shop said the pump head is probably sheared and cam ring is probably also cooked. I figured I wouldn't hurt anything by tearing the pump apart. I watched some of bundy bears videos, and it turned out the pump is actually pretty simple. While watching I thought what if...

Im back to messing with it. Removed the stop solenoid and when I turn the key to on, the solenoid pulls in the plunger. Tested the electric pump and after the filters im getting 4psi. pulled the pump head off and removed the filter. I cleaned the screen, ensured that all the springs and plungers...

Hi, I got some questions about ^^^, specifically the injection pump (lucas 1216). one day it just shut down due to bad electric lift pump. Lift pump got replaced, but still no start. I opened the bleeder screw on the pump and let the air out. I then removed the lines from the injectors, and...

So basically what you are saying is that it should crank much faster, right? The video was with 3 good batteries hooked up. The battery I have is a semi truck cranking battery, i think its a 27. When the battery was new, it still cranked just about as fast. Sure, the battery had a lot more...

Haven't been here for a while, but my 1700 has started having starting problems. Came on here, and just coincidentally there is another no start 1700 here... i guess the tractors caught omicron ;) Anyways, I went to start it yesterday, and after heating up the glow plugs for about 30 seconds...

Hello I have a ford 1700 compact tractor, 1360 hrs. My manual says I have to change the injection pump oil every 200 hrs. Picture in the manual shows this: (second attached pic) Problem is, they never drilled and tapped the holes for the drain and fill plugs at the factory. So my injection pump...
