Thank you Jones, I will do new testing g as mentioned. As an update, I did compression tests today both wet and dry using the injector ports doing each port 2x for both tests. I plugged in the block heater for about 2 hours prior to testing with the shop temp around 50. I also verified all...

Thanks Topside and Im with ya on the valve adjustment. As an update, I did compression tests today both wet and dry using the injector ports doing each port 2x for both tests. I plugged in the block heater for about 2 hours prior to testing with the shop temp around 50. I also verified all...

I'll check GP voltage and research how to do the valve adjustments and what tools and supplies are needed. Thanks for the advice

I will do the voltage tests on the GP and post those readings. I currently have new plugs in and still have the same results. Answer to glow plug indicator on control panel when starting; the indicator glows red hot within 5 seconds of starting the warming process before turning the engine over.

I have not done either suggestion. I will check voltage of the glow plugs and will research how to check valve adjustment and that tools and materials are need prior to going forward with that test. Thanks for the advice, I need it all

Thank you, I'll call the local New Holland / Ford dealer on Monday to see if they can assist in breaking things down and what they had to say.

100% quick learning virgin mechanic on Ford 1710 with 2600hr. I've owned & operated this machine for the last 5 years doing the regular maintenance on oil, filters, hydraulic changes, etc.on a small farm mainly doing landscaping after building. I now have a new problem that I need assistance...

Thanks JBF I’m planning on getting the sensor this week. I’ll post the results when it’s installed and the problem is resolved. Good info…. Thanks again Troy

Yes, the tractor is a diesel. No apparent leaks on the exterior or in the new oil and hydraulic fluids. Fingers crossed that the new thermostat sensor will finilaze any questions about the temp I’m running. I’ve put about 20 hours on it with all the fluid and filter changes without problems...

I haven’t checked the coolant level since I drained and refilled however I will. So far I’ve ran about 20 hours on it after replacing the thermostat, flushing and refilling coolant, changing oil and hydraulic fluid including new filters for both of those and the fuel filter. Checking the oil...

Howdy Jim I don’t have any coolant coming from the overflow after operating. As a matter of fact, yesterday after fixing the fuel issue I ran a harrow for a couple of hours and plowed around a slash pile, prepping to burn. With that amount of use and strain there were no leaks or problems...

AWSOME information…. I’ll be trying that and irregardless I think I’ll replace the sensor so I know it’s reading correctly. Thanks again for that information. It’s that type of knowledge I’m lacking and very appreciative for the advice and steps to complete.

A screen/ filter was on my shopping list today preventing future problems. If I can’t find one, I’ll do as you have suggested and make one that the fuel is poured through and I can pullout to clean on a regular basis. Not every tank fill but often enough to feel confident that this won’t happen...

I’ve never heard of Biocide or a fungal problem in a fuel tank or else where, but I’ll do it. Better to be safe then sorry, that for sure. I will be adding a can of Seafoam (proportioned) properly for the amount of fuel. I’ve felt and noticed good results from past use. It might just be me...

Hey Dodge man I’m really glad you asked, as this was my next shout out for help…. I don’t think the engine got damaged. There are no leaks, cracks or unusual sounds. I’ve replaced the engine oil and hydraulic fluid and filters; both were clean of water or coolant or contamination. I also...
