I have recently inherited a Minneapolis Moline farming tractor. Following a fuel blockage I am unable to restart the motor. No fuel coming from the fuel pump. Does the fuel pump require bleeding, if so how? I am in remote rural area in Australia and local help on this problem is unavailable.
The tractor Model No is GVI, Engine Model No D425A-6 and the fuel pump is a Roosa Master Model No DGBFCC637--3AF made by the Hartford Machine Screw Co., Conn.

Thanks, Keith Clarke, Augathella, Queensland, Australia.

Keith,

You didn't happen to be spying on the location of Survivor when they filmed the last episode did you? I could win a lot of bets with a little inside information!!

Good luck with your tractor, Minnies seemed to have made it everywhere.

Jim

On that Roosa Master pump there should be a little window on the side of the pump that you have to take two srews out to take off. Be careful not to ruin the gasket. It is the window for timing the thing. Make sure you have fuel to this point. If not you may have to take your fuel inlet line loose to get air out between the tank and pump. If you have fuel to your pump then try cracking the lines loose on the injectors. You want to take loose the pressure lines just a big. Try pulling the tractor a bit till you get fuel up there, actually it should probably run. Just one thing I have to ask. Was the tractor running and developed a fuel blockage that caused the tractor to pull down and die? If so then on some pumps the suction generated by the pump starving for fuel will pull the "rails" shut and they may be marred or just hanging up. This will result in fuel in your pump but never getting past that. Essentially it is like shutting the fuel down. If the rails get marred then that can be a problem. Hopefully you just got air, which is probably the case anyway.

Probably too easy but you might try bleeding the fuel filters first.

He emailed me and told me it is up and running. He opened up the window on the side and then it started running fuel out there after a bit and then cracked the lines at the injectors and got it going.
