Nice pictures buckeye. Thanks.

I didn't take the top apart, only the cam rollers and checked the rack gears. I put the pump back in for the 4th time and the levers were fine tis time. I have no idea what was causing them to bind up. Couldn't see anything with a mirror. Anyway it is now pumping fuel when I wind it over but...

There was a gasket and 1 x steel shim that I cleaned and refitted. I even made an extra gasket hoping that would fix it, but, no. I have had this tractor since new in 2006. I removed the pump to check the rack pinion gears for wear as in previous posts. (I am (was) an A Grade Mechanic) The pump...

Pump wouldn't bleed and I found that if I loosened the 4 inj pump securing studs and nuts it would bleed. When I tighten the pump it jams the Rack lever. Loosen it a turn or so and everything works. I made an extra gasket but it didn't help. I thought the rack pin may have been bottoming out but...

Thanks mate. There used to be a dam there that bred mosquitos and cane toads. I filled it with rocks and the dirt from the bank about 12 months or so before we built the barn so it was well compacted. It holds 4 vehicles and a pool table and mancave and build area for RC Planes etc.

No. absolutely none.

My barn inside view and view from the air.

I couldn't find any other parts related to that spring that touches the end of the injector rack on idle. I have refitted the pump and lil Panther is ready for me to bleed and start. I did open the lift pump and the valves and diaphragm look OK. I was going to fit a new one anyway but finding...

No update yet sorry. No change. I have been unable to do any work due to severe spinal degeneration that has seen me in bed a lot lately. Doug

Thanks mate. I appreciate the links you have found. I am more confused as all I can see is a cover I can't get off, and the spring. No bolts or nuts or anything else. I have to investigate further as that looks like just the spring contacts the rack. There is no sleeve or pad that goes on the...

Yes, thanks. I nearly reassembled it before I noticed that it didn't look right. I feel there should be a sleeve or pad in between the spring and the rack so it looks like stalemate until I find out. I have looked at exploded views but none show that item so far. Very frustrating. I did drop the...

Thanks richeyvs. Yes I could not fault the 'gear' teeth at all. No sign of wear whatsoever. I guess that way I am lucky as I checked with a local dealer and he said they had never stocked parts and likely not available in Australia. They would have to be ordered so I have reassembled the pump...

Thank you ritcheyvs. I checked flow from the tank and had to plug off the hose as it poured out. Fuel filter is checked and clean, (I filter all fuel when filling the tank too) I will check the lift pump valves next and manifold gasket came off clean so will just use some sealer on it. Not sure...

My tractor has 771 Hours on it. Bought new in 2006. I suddenly started losing power especially when I started flail mowing. It would run fine for about 5 - 10 minutes and then start running rough at revs but OK at idle. It would progressively get worse. It starts OK but a bit rich. I have...

Rops on my ZT broke a branch off a tree which came down and wedged me in the chest and broke a rib. I have removed the one from my Tractor completely after doing damage with it.
