My cousin "inherited" a 1500 that we were finally able to start by pulling. It belched a lot of black smoke and had zip for power. My JD 790 manual says the fuel pump might be out of timing. How does one check the fuel pump timing on it? I hate to strart taking things off looking for timing...
Some benelovent benefactor gave my cousin (really, not me ) a Yanmar 1510 (I think) that won't run too well . We pull started it but it has no power and smokes like crazy . We sure could use a manual in English. Wish the guy whose son sells them was registered so I could contact him.
Anyone...
How many hours before a JD diesel needs rebuilding?
I.e., would you but a JD 970 with 2000 hours on it?
I figure that's like 110000 miles on a truck and for a diesel, that would be OK. I figure I'll never put another 2000 hrs on it.
I have about 4 -5 acres of grass/weeds/tiny oak trees to mow (in NW Florida). I also have 20+ acres of very rough land with underbrush and trees from seedlings up. I am thinking of a heavy duty 5 ft Bush Hog to cut the field and "push the boundary" by mowing whatever I can drive the tractor...
