This is an old Ford, around 68 I think. 201 Diesel. Ran very well when I bought it, and has been nearly trouble free. Had a leaking O ring on top of the injector pump, and fixed it successfully - that was last summer.
No leaks, and no problems until about six weeks ago. I let it sit while working on other problems, and when I tried to start it last week, no joy. No fuel to the injectors.
I added fuel in case it was low, but it was not. I changed the fuel filter, after blowing out the line from the tank. It had good flow before and after.
I bled the filter housing and removed the bleeder screw on the side of the pump. Good flow without air at both.
I have no fuel at the injectors.
I tried ether, and right now would happily risk blowing the tractor up.
This afternoon my wife hooked the truck to it, and we tried pulling it off. Maybe a half mile or more. No joy. No smoke. Still no fuel at the injectors. I did have enough compression to hold the truck back in lower than 7th gear.
This is on a tractor that has been consistently easy to start hot or cold, and has run exceptionally well, and was running well when it was shut off about a month back.
Any suggestions? Any help is much appreciated.
