First off, this thread probably doesn't belong here. Apologies.
Also have it posted in the Agricultural section but haven't had a response so I thought it might be ok to bring it to the attention of others with some experience.
Have a MF 135 and when I went to start it for the first time this Summer, she won't run.
Some details if needed:
Believe in the 70's model range.
Perkins 3 cylinder diesel.
Never treated that well, but really abused either. Everything leaks and catches dust, but fluids are kept up.
Pretty much only used to mow the fields when needed.
Until yesterday it always cranked and ran on like the third turn regardless of temperature. Rrr, rrr, fire and run.
Go out yesterday, cranks fine, battery spins the engine fast, but won't run. Fuel is good too.
I changed the fuel filters as it was needed anyway. Start priming and have gotten fuel to the pump inlet. I take the line out and visually verify. Then I take the line loose on the injector pump going to the front cylinder and turn the engine over.
No fuel coming out. Checked another line too. Does this confirm an injector pump problem? "Stuck" in some manner? Or "Screwed" in some other manner?
Thanks.
