    JD 310C Fuel Pump fittings not lining up

    Well today I put a few wraps of regular teflon tape and the fitting still had room to go, so I took it apart again and doubled up on the wraps, and put it back on. It still had a little room to go, but was snugger than before so I was tired of fooling with it and put it all back together. It...

    JD 310C Fuel Pump fittings not lining up

    Yes, that is another option... they're aluminum, right? I think I will try the white teflon tape first though... seems easier and I've used it a lot in house plumbing repairs And the hand lever is underneath, you just can't see it. Thanks pumpguysc

    JD 310C Fuel Pump fittings not lining up

    Hi All, I had a leaking fuel lift pump on my 310C, so I finally got tired of leaking fuel all over (and fuel gauge decided to stop working). I went to local JD dealer and purchased new fuel pump (looked smaller than old one) with their assurance that it would fit perfectly. The removal/install...

    JD 310C dies 3 seconds after starting up on a cold morning

    Delmer, Yes, I'm referring to the rectangular dash panel on operator's right side. I was also thinking it has to be the key switch being flaky or a loose connection there, it's the only thing that can knock out all the electrics aside from a totally dead/disconnected battery. I will try to pry...

    JD 310C dies 3 seconds after starting up on a cold morning

    Thanks Harley, but I don't think there was power to the injection pump solenoid, so I don't think there would have been any fuel sent to injectors. It seemed like only things that are hardwired to battery had voltage (power circuits), but anything that went to keyswitch and/or accessory relay...

    JD 310C dies 3 seconds after starting up on a cold morning

    Hi All, So I had just done a lot of work on my '89 310C (3600 hrs, 2WD, farm machine, sporadic use for 20 years) to get it ready to drive it 15 miles to work on a property my wife inherited some years ago and had gotten overgrown with autumn olive. I had bought new batteries, new front tires...

    Vibration in third and fouth gear

    Hank, Did you ever find the source/cause of the vibration in 3rd and 4th gear? I drove my 310C today on a long flat dirt road and after I put in 4th gear noticed vibration when the RPM went above 1800 or so. It would do the same in 3rd gear, but not in 1st or 2nd gear. The vibration seemed to be...

    JD 310C Power Loss issue

    Well I finally had time to re-install my rebuilt injection pump, which came back promptly from The Pump Guy SC (TPG) in excellent shape and with excellent support by email. I made sure that the timing mark was visible through the inspection window when re-installing the pump on the engine shaft...

    JD 310C Power Loss issue

    Thanks for diesel fuel quality/integrity comments. I had failed to mention that fuel line fitting into lift pump had a slow leak and most of the old fuel had leaked out. I replaced the hose (longer so fitting could be tightened all the way) and tightened the fitting with PTFE thread sealant, and...

    John Deere 310c Fuel draining into engine oil, help please

    Hello Clunkaholic, I will be re-installing the injection pump on my 310C soon and would be interested buying/renting/borrowing your seal clamp tool to not fold the umbrella seal over. My 310C is also an '89 and has 3590 hours on it. I've owned it for 20 years and it is just a farm machine so...

    JD 310C Power Loss issue

    Pump is on the way to TPG now, Thanks for everyone's helpful input. I'll post the outcome of this highly educational exercise when I get the pump back. I'm already dreaming of the sweet sound of that engine cranking up.

    JD 310C Power Loss issue

    I only ran the backhoe for about 5-10 minutes to get it out the rain. Turned it off. Then restarted it to re-position for optimal injection pump and it died again. So it won't run very long before loosing power again. The stuff in check valve was dark brown and small irregular shapes but a tad...

    JD 310C Power Loss issue

    Gotcha, makes sense, Thank you both! Well yesterday I just wanted to get machine out of the rain and back in the barn, so went right for injection pump return line check valve and sure enough it was clogged. Cleaned it out and left glass ball in place, and machine ran well and was able to get...

    JD 310C Power Loss issue

    Thanks Delmer and Willie, I will try your suggestions this week. I never really had to work on a diesel besides changing belts, hydraulic hoses, fluids and alternator repair, so for my better understanding: by "primer pump" are you referring to the one on right side of engine with a small lever...
