John Deere 2010 Diesel trouble

[danpaul1]

Where and what does the fuel lift pump look like and does my JD Model 2010 built in 1963 even have a fuel lift pump the reason I ask I own all the Tech Manuals for my Model 2010 and I have read all 700 plus pages over and over and no where do they refer to a fuel lift pump (Primer Pump) they only refer to the injection pump, another question I have can (where is the screen in the inlet side of the injector pump) is this screen under the top of the injection pump and will I hurt the pump if I that the four screws out and remove the top off the injection pump?

Thank you so much now that I know the injection pump has and inline filter on the supply fuel line I will take it out and inspect for trash once again Thanks, I'll let you know if this takes care of the problem.

Parts key 15 (Screen) was clean as new I used my compressed air anyway and blew it out and after reinstalling the screen my JD still wouldn't start, I've been waiting until final straw to pull (Solid State Relay) off because it's very hard for me to reach under the dash I had and accident several years ago at work I have very little if any use of my right upper body and wouldn't you know it's busted to pieces now I need to find one and of course put it on I sure hope that will fix my problem I'm worried that I have another problem after checking the fuel screen and finding it clean I checked for volts and amps going out to the glow plugs and the only one that I could read volts and amps on was number one and I checked ohms on all four wires and they all were good going back to GL on my key switch.......Thanks

Can you post a photo of this "solid state relay" as I don't remember seeing one on a JD 2010?? Are you referring to circuit breaker(parts key 17)?

 

[danpaul1]

Sorry the correct name for the part that I'm speaking of is a "Voltage Regulator" Part Number 1118779 made by Delco Remy.
Thank you

Does the voltage regulator supply power (Voltage) to the glow plugs and aren't the glow plugs what start the tractor well other than the Starter? I guess what I am asking when I get on the tractor I turn the key counter clock wise to warm the glow plugs and after a minute or so warming the glow plugs I turn the key clock wise to start the tractor "at this point do the glow plugs do anything in order to get the tractor started" is my question?

 

[Tx Jim]

As you stated glow plugs are activated by ing switch. IIRC regulator only controls charging voltage but has nothing to do with GP operation. GP's heat up so that fuel/air mixture in cylinders is easier to ignite.

 

[danpaul1]

Then what ignites the diesel fuel

 

[Tx Jim]

Compression!! Injectors spray fuel under pressure causing a fine mist which makes diesel ignite easier.

Thank you for answering me that's what I was thinking but I wasn't sure so once again thank you so much for all your help
