Chad: Forget it and run it, give it some good hard exercise. I ran two 282 diesels a total of 25,000 hours. I rarely started those tractors in winter and I went throught the exact same thing as your going through every spring. I rebuilt each engine once as well as each injection pump and injectors once, during the 25,000 hours.

A 282 will let you know if you have injection problems, it just wont start. This is probably one of the items that most amazed me since coming to YT, that being how quick most folks are to try and fix something that aint broke.

These tractors especially were never engineered to sit around unused. I can't believe the numbers of 60s and 70s tractors across this continant with less than 5,000 hours on them. In my day a tractor was a poor investment unless you were working it at least 500 hours per year and preferably 1,000. I have a friend in forestry, he doesn't need another machine, unless each current machine is clocking 3,000 hours per year. Now, I do realize your never going to do 3,000 per year, per tractor, farming. However, it is not uncommon for disels clocking big hours like this to run 20,000 hours between rebuilds.
