Morning Guys,
Been summer fallowing with the 1066 for the past few days; darned thing just runs like a champ and pulls like a maniac.
Yesterday, at 11:45 I shut 'er down for dinner like I always do after letting it cool down for a few minutes. Okay fine.
Went home for lunch, came back and helped the neighbor fix his air conditioner on his tractor. Then greased up the disk before heading back to the summer fallow. It's now about 3pm.
Went to start 'er, and that silly thing would not start for nothing. Didn't even try to pop; just cranked and cranked.
This tractor has never, ever turned over more than one time and it's up and running. Hmmmm
Good fuel to the injector pump and the manual pump pressured up good....plenty of fuel. Cleaned the air filters. Tried starting with ether and still no go (come to find out, little 1/8" feed tube was plugged).
Anyway, took the air filters back out and sprayed either directly in the intake. She poped right off and ran good as always.
Put it all back together and it restarted probably half a dozen times normal as could be.
Will be intresting to see if it starts okay this morning when cold. What in the heck caused that?
The only thing abnormal about this tractor is that annoying "thump sound" at the air intake above the radiator. Been that way since I've owned it and I always thought maybe we've got a low lobe on the cam?
