720 diesel

Take a short ladder with you & a cork or very small rubber plug.. On bleeding those tractors that are out of fuel for a along time-- they are hard to bleed.. I have found that if you plug of the fuel tank vent line (with that cork),, then climb on that ladder you can then cup your hands around the fuel tank filler neck & blow positive pressure into the tank using your mouth on your cupped hands.. That method will allow bleeding in minutes that could take hours at times if the filters are curded or the pump by-pass plunger isn’t cooperating & allowing the fuel through..

On that pony clutch not working,, no worry mate.. Just start the pony (that could be a problem in itself), then allow the pony to warm itself & the big diesel,,, then pull the compression release,, put the tractor in 6th gear & pull it with another tractor ( I usually use a bungee cord to hold the compression release pulled back),, then engage the diesel tractor’s clutch & allow the big engine to spool up for a short distance,,, once the big engine has spun over a while & has good oil pressure,, release the bungee cord & allow the big engine to spin over on compression for another short distance,, then slowly add fuel with the hand throttle & you should be off to the races..

If that tractor has been sitting for a long time or has old fuel in it be sure to wear old clothes & an old coat as you will be covered with black oily goop & will look like a Dalmatian once it fires..

If there is a tranny problem then your best bet will be to warm the diesel with the pony and then pull start it. The pony warms the diesel through the coolant and also the pony exhaust warms the intake for the diesel.

As far as priming the pumps and injectors, that's not too bad either. First open the bleeder screws on the fuel filters one at a time until you get good fuel flow. Then on the left side of the tractor, there is a hex head plug off the side of the governor linkage at the side of the block. Open that plug until you get a good flow of fuel and the pumps should be good to go. Usually you can get at least one injector to fire off at this point. Once it is running on one cylinder, you can open the throttle and usually get the second one to pop also. If this does not work, you will have to remove the valve cover (three bolts) and crack the injector lines. This will be difficult for you as you have no cranking source.
