So last October I did something that has really bitten me in the butt. While working at the hunting camp, I had a limb bust the glass bulb on my factory fuel filter. As a temporary fix I by-passed the fuel filter, the temporary fix wasn't so temporary. I neglected to replace it, and after 10-15 hours of use I ran it low on fuel. I do not feel that it ran completely out because there were no signs from performance, my opinion was strictly from the fuel gage. I purchased 5 gallons of fuel, filled the tank and started working the tractor again. In less than 5 minutes the engine started to stumble and shut off, it would not crank back up. I winched it on the trailer, once home I drained all the fuel, replaced the glass bulb and installed a new fuel filter. It wouldn稚 crank, I eventually ruined the starter after trying to pure the air out of the system. After a week or so I was able to get it running again, I used some type of aerosol that our shop uses here at work, it works like starting fluid but no as hot therefore allowing you to keep it running by continuous spraying in the intake. I finally purged all the air from the injectors and had it running again, the problem today is, it loses power quickly after about 10-15 yards under a load or not. I can put the bucket against a solid surface and allow all four tires to dig down, it will start to lose power, I can let off for a second or two and allow the RPM痴 to build again and continue. The tractor is a 2004 Mahindra 2810 HST with 980 hours, can the injectors be rebuilt? Thoughts or suggestions appreciated!
