B250 Diesel came home today..now for the questions

Posted by Michael Soldan on August 31, 2002 at 18:47:38 from (216.46.130.31):

I loaded the B250 Diesel up this morning in Dashwood Ontario and had it home in about an hour.It hasn't run in 8 years, until last Saturday. I drained most of the old fuel and put in fresh with deisel fuel conditioner/injector cleaner. I let it run until warm and drained the oil and refilled with fresh. I will change the oil again shortly along with a new filter. The oil pressure on the guage improved with the fresh oil change. The oil bath breather had about an inch of mud in the bottom, probably 20 years worth or more. The sediment bowl was holding mostly water and rust, I cleaned it up as well. I am going to get a manual from a nearby manual dealer but I have some questions
1.When I hold the lever for the glow plugs the top of the fuel tank gets hot..is there a short in the wire to the glow plugs that can be causing this?
2.Should one replace glow plugs as a maintenance item?
3. How is the brake adjusted on these models...loosen the jam nut and turn the plunger in or out?
I'll have a lot more questions as time goes by. H's and M's I do in my sleep..the B250 Diesel is a bit different. I used it to go and cut some sweet corn for the calves, the tranny is great, shifts well, no growls, loader works well but has a trip bucket that I would like to convert to hydraulic. I am very pleased with the purchase..$700 with practically new rubber on the rears.There is a story behind that. Apparently the Ontario Agriculture Ministry provided grants about 12 years ago for any thing from barn repairs, fence row clean up and ...tractor tires! Some of my neighbours were in today looking at the tractor and they figured the chap that had owned it probably put the new rubber on the rears about that time. I'll look forward to any help I can get on this one...Mike in Exeter Ontario
