One of the golf courses that I do work for, has a Ford 4630 diesel. It has been used to mow with for about ten years, with little real maintainance. They started having "problems" with it several weeks back.
I have suggested that the mechanic get shop manuals and such, but he let me know that he can't read or write, and the manual wouldn't do him much good.
So, here is the problem. The tractor has always smoked a bit too much. (Black smoke) It seems to me to be overfueling. It started running bad, so he decided to do a compression test, which led to eventually doing a valve job. While working on it, he installed new injectors. Since then, it won't hardly run at all. The more rpm's the worse it runs. Yesterday, he moved the "timing" on the injector pump. It started to run a little better, but not right.
If this was my tractor, it would be at the dealer, or a local diesel repair shop, to get straightened out by someone that knows what to do. This tractor, on the other hand, is stuck with the mechanic at the golf course.
Anyone have any good suggestions as to where to start working on it. If there is anyone out there that knows the drill for timing a Ford 4630, please tell me what you know. I'll pass it on.
