Bought a non-running Ford 3000 diesel a few months ago. Would crank, but no start.
Guy showed me a receipt where he had a new injector pump installed a few years ago, but then things happened and the tractor sat. Figured there couldn't be that much wrong with it
Found out it had grown what's referred to as algae (a bacteria) in the tank. Cleaned that stuff up, new filter, had fuel to the pump but no high pressure out of the lines.
Took top cover off, metering valve was stuck, freed it up, still no high pressure.
Figured What have I got to lose? I'll try to fix it before I send it to somebody who knows what he's doing.
A couple youtube videos, googleing, stripped it down, probably took 50 pics on my phone as I went so I knew how it went back together (and they came in handy) found the plungers were stuck just from sitting.
No algae goop to be seen, apparently hadn't made it to the pump.
O ring that seals the pump head in the housing had stretched. Tried boiling it, did shrink it some, but still managed to pinch/cut it. Can't believe it worked as it was only 1/16 thick, but was able to super glue it . Had to try, NH wants $22 for those things.
Put back together, put it on the 3000 while running out of daylight (really wanted to see if it would work)...SUCCESS!
Was grinning ear to ear when it fired up.
Seems like most things I've worked on this summer went sideways on me, it was nice to have something go well

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Auction Musings - by Dave Gohl. I was thinking the other day about all the auctions I've been to in the last few years. There've been many. Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
