Hello everybody, I found a slow diesel leak from the underside of my JD 5205 injector pump. There is a large size "plug" on the very bottom and is not easy to reach without taking the pump off. Is anybody aware of what this is and why it's leaking? It only leaks a few drips per hour. Picture...

Need a core for rebuilding

I bought a new-to-me '97 Ford F250 and it had 4 to 5 year old diesel fuel in it. It ran pretty cr@ppy on that fuel. On fresher fuel it ran much better. Then I bought some Power Service diesel treatment and some Lucas lubricity additive and injector cleaner and wow, it ran shockingly better than...

I bought some Kirkland (Costco) diesel rated oil for diesel tractor summer use. It's rated for that and shown in these photos. But I just noticed it's also rated for gas engines--I think--because it has an API SN rating. Does that SN mean I can use in a gas tractor as well? I know not to use...

Have an opportunity to buy a truck with a Maxxforce 9.3L diesel. It’s the “emissions” version of my HT-570 in my 2007 International dump truck. It has a problematic DPF and an even worse cooled EGR. I have heard many nightmares. This engine line/family basically put IH out of the OTR truck...

I hate using 5 or 6 gallon diesle fuel containers to fuel my JD and Kubota tractors, so I've been looking for a 15 or 20 gallons barrel to make a portable fuel caddy. I mentioned it to a friend, and he gave me a plastic 15 gallon barrel that he had no use for. I rinsed it put with water, then...

I have a Kubota D1105 engine in a ZD1211 mower. When I tried to start it for the first time this year, the starter made a clicking sound. I knew the battery was going bad as it was getting slow to start last year, so I replaced the battery. However, when I turned the key over, the engine still...

I have a 1965 Ford 3000 diesel tractor. I bought new fuel injectors and noticed that the tops are shorter .the old ones tops are removable and have a spring in them. Did I get the wrong ones?

I'm new at all of this, so I apologize if this has been asked before. I filled my diesel can week before last, filling up at a local gas station. when I looked at the fuel when I got home, I saw that it is red. I thought that red fuel was for off road use only?? I didn't expect to see red fuel...

What can I add to older (1980’s) Diesel tractor to add lubricity to the fuel. Have been told that Automobile Transmission Fluid or Two Cycle Oil (used in two cycle engines) can be used but I do not know at what ratio. (How much per gallon of diesel fuel?) Other substitutes?

Hello. I have a 254 Chinese tractor with 3 cyl. LaiDong engine. The crank case keeps getting filled with diesel fuel somehow. I'm guessing the fuel is getting through from the injector pump maybe?

I would like to have a new 3/4 heavy duty diesel pickup. My 2011 GMC 2500HD has given me excellent service. I have maintained it well, its running fine now, but since it has over 250k miles I am thinking of getting a new one. Now 13 years old, I feel I need to re-start the clock on a new truck...

So, just bought a summit tractor last week as Atwoods. Has been an amazing addition to my 66 Ford 2000. Today something went haywire though, I was driving and it started sputtering, then died. Now it won’t stay running, and when it does start idling, it won’t rev up. I checked fuel level...

Hi everyone I recently added to my project list a pump rebuild on a 1985 case-ih 485. Project started as someone else's good idea and I'm left trying to get it to back together and running again. I either need a reasonably priced good used injection pump or a parts pump. Does anyone here know...

I feel like a moron that I have to ask this, but I cannot remove the breather/fill cap atop the hood. it just spins, it won’t slide up, it won’t push down (like a bayonet mount), I made a paracordnsling and tried pulling with two hands. . . What am I doing wrong? I really don’t want to have...

My 1,200 hour Kubota M5-111 engine locked-up while raking hay. Has anyone else had any engine issues with a new (3 year old) Kubota? Of course the warranty expired about 4 months back! Thanks in advance for your input. / Tony, Texas

Hello, Does anyone here recommend someone or a shop who can re-seal the injector pump on my 1998 Massey Ferguson 231? I’m aware I’d have to ship it. It is dripping diesel where the rotor head goes into the pump housing. There’s an o-ring there. I’d like the whole pump re-sealed since it has to...

Hey everyone, I have a 1988 Case IH 275 compact tractor with a 3 speed transmission, and a 3 speed range transmission. Everything on it works great, except it will randomly stop moving while going in forward or reverse. After about 2-3 minutes of the tractor running, it will just stop...

HI all, Got a 1969 Ford 3000 diesel. One of the bleeder "bolts" on the fuel filter bracket stripped out the threads on the housing. I can tap this out to a 3/8-24 but do I need a special bolt with holes in it for the bleeder to work ok? For now I am just going to add a 1/2 inch 3/8-24 bolt so...

I recently bought an older B5200. I can get it to crank by jumping the solenoid but that's as far as it goes. Even with a quick shot of starting fluid.(I know, bad for diesels). Any ideas? Also how do you remove the sheet metal holding the instrument cluster? I have removed all of the bolts and...

Hi TBN friends! I just became the owner of an F3990 Front Mower. In general it works really well. I have been reading the owners manual and it states that you shouldn't run anything more than B5 diesel in it. (5% biodiesel). It gives no reason for the warning and admonition. Given that...
