Hey my friend. You just saved my butt with this video. My Ford 655 just shut down out in the woods. A few days of searching and found your video here. Though I found other issues, this video got me out of the woods and running good enough to get through the winter. Thanks
I’m just in this predicament. Used the tractor to move bales, let it sit for a few weeks and couldn’t start it. I’m about to go open that thing and check it out. I bled all the lines but the injectors remained dry as (insert your own joke here), and it was driving me crazy. Thanks for taking the time to post this.
Thanks for posting. After trying for hours to get my Ford running, found your video and had it running in minutes. Thanks for taking the trouble, none of the forums that I found were of any help so I was pleased to find your video.
Chanced on your video, my 7600 sat for 2 years and I tried everything I could think of, pulled the side cover and mine was stuck. I got it loose and it started right off. Thank you so much
Cheers. After a long time standing my Ford 5000 pump won't emit fuel out any of the lines either. This sounds like it could be just the problem. Thank goodness for the internet and blokes with similar interests.
That area should be full of motor oil but it looks like it was dry as a bone. There is a fill port on the top front and a level plug below it on the side. Fill through the top until oil comes out of the level plug hole. This oil should be changed every time you change your engine oil. Sometimes this gets filled up with diesel fuel and that is why there is an overflow tube on the rear of the pump.
That chamber is supposed to have oil in it to keep it lubricated. It's not mentioned in most of the manuals and many people let them run dry. there is a drain and fill plug for the lubricant.
