Had a DB pump rebuilt for installation on a '89 F-350. Never started good in cold weather, Rebuilder said timing gears worn, and to advance it 4 deg. Well that didn't work, so he said engine was wasted (47000 miles?) So I just kept limping along with it, keeping it plugged in, constantly fiddling with the glow plugs, etc. (The thing ran good; just hard to start). Till one day the trans went out, and it was laid up for awhile. About this same time, the pump on my '90 Super Duty grenaded, so I swiped the pump from the '89 for the '90. The '90 always started unaided in the coldest weather. After the pump switch, it exhibited the exact same symptoms as the '89. I advanced it as far as the slots would let it go, then it would start okay. Not great, but livable, and it's been running this way since '01. I've got it off again now while changing head gaskets. I want to go through it and make it right, I was wondering if it's possible that the cam ring could be in backwards. If not that, what else might be the problem? Thanks Fritz

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
