155d injector cleaning

Its not like THAT.. I'm mearly saying your over your head.. Your taking things apart and your making it worse..
If you get a spring & go to tighten it up.. your gonna shear the pin the housing.. but seeing you've done abunch of these.. go right ahead..
How about YOU keep posting & "I" wont comment..
I "thought" I was helping..

FWIW, you do help a lot of TBN members with their IP issues, and so forth. From my perspective, you and the OP are at cross purposes from what I'm reading here. He knows what he knows, and though it may not be the level of knowledge you're at, it has served him well so far. I think telling him he's in over his head is not as useful as you may intend to be. And though he could/might break a pin or whatever- he chooses to take the risks, his choice, his cross to bear. You can always tell him- I told you so- but that likely won't help either....just saying, maybe come in at the point where something does go wrong and offer help then?

That's kinda funny then. Why does it now run perfectly? New DV's and springs and it runs like a brand new tractor.

For the record, I stated I've done alot of Deere, Cummins, Isuzu injectors. Not claiming to be a know it all. The day I become to proud to learn, is the day I should hang it up. I'm know I'm not over my head here, this style governor and fuel pump and injectors are pretty simple. But hey what do I know. It's not like I've been working on heavy equipment for 15+ years and fully certified as a Deere field technician or anything.

Again, FWIW, you know a lot about injectors and machinery. You are willing to learn by trial and error and I applaud you for that; however we're all lucky to have the expertise of ThePumpServiceGuy
among our membership, and he can be a good resource for us regarding knowledge and parts of the type of equipment he works with on a daily basis. It's not a pissing contest, and you're both right. Glad to hear you fixed your tractor, good job!:thumbsup:

Im sure he is a **** good reference. But one thing g I've learned in all the years of dealing with customers face to face, is that if I spoke to a person in the manner he has, I'd be out of a job. Another thing g I didn't do is, come to this forum to be told I I'm over my head. If I'm over my head, trust me I'd start off with saying that. And lastly, I'm no "parts swapper". Any jackass can throw parts at things. I take pride in what I do for a living and so do my customers, trusting me with their 1+ million dollar machines and countless people relying on the machine to make a living. Didn't really want to start getting all pissed but this ole boy is in my opinion, out of line talking to people like that. I know it's the internet and the internet is ruthless. But if your going to call yourself THE pump guy, then you may want to learn how to talk to people. As, people are going to come to you. Unless you talk to them like this. Me, I could really care less. I have nothing to prove.

But hey

You're not wrong about the presentation being over the top, and you've made your point. I'm just trying to assist in peacekeeping. Good luck.:thumbsup:

This has sure been an informative thread, and not just for the injectors. I'm an old guy now - older than most - and I'm thinking that this is as good a time as any to exercise the special privilege that comes from with age.

As I read through this thread, the weird thing is that I kind of see myself in both Chevy79 and ThePumpGuy.... and that's what really stuck home to me this morning. The little bit of bickering doesn't bother me. Maybe because I've also been in both places..
Indulge me please, as I ramble a bit.... I'll get to the point in the end.

Innately, I guess I'm now more like Chevy79 in that I find that I really enjoy learning by doing new and unfamiliar things. I know I'll eventually get it right, & I guess I don't care as much about the process as much as I care about having a good time figuring out how and why something works. Yes, my stupid mistakes are annoying, but only to myself. And the truth is that I'd rather make those mistakes than not have tried doing something new and different. Like I said, I know I'll eventually get it right - if for no other reason than I've got a bit of perfectionist in me, & I'd lots rather do it myself than pay someone else to have all the fun.

But I wasn't always that way. I used to have a mechanical repair & rebuild service shop. And decades later I am still being told by friends about how sometimes - not always, but sometimes - I would turn annoyingly positive and arrogant. Especially when it came to doing my own special work in my own shop. To me it was because I was adamant about doing the very best work I could for friends and customers. I hated half-way work of any kind. Still do. I'd rather turn down work do it poorly.

My friends and I can laugh about it now. But the truth is that I was over-bearing. They still tell stories about how hard I was to put up with back then. The difference being that now we both think it's kinda funny. Good thing we can see it as funny, otherwise it would be tragic. Still, people came from all over to patronize the shop because the quality of work was worth dealing with my occasional lapses of attitude.

And in my own defense, I have to say that my "do it the right way or don't bother me" attitude towards both working and teaching back then isn't at all uncommon in small business owners. Maybe it's all a part of the personality necessary to be one's own boss. Sometimes I do look back and think how much nicer it could have been - although I also know that if I would have been much different then I wouldn't have been able to build a successful business at all.

And the injectors seem to be working just fine, too.

Good Luck beats good Planning, rScotty

We'll said. I've always looked at things like, " it's only nuts and bolts" I've been a perfectionist my whole life when it comes to working on things. Sometimes it can be a bad thing. Being in my world workwise. Sometimes you just have to get it going as fast as possible. But one thing I have learned is, how to doing certain things quickly AND the right way. And knowing what corners you can cut if NEEDED.

What I was doing with my tractor I knew wasn't the best way to go about things (replacing one injector) but I wasn't for sure I didn't have a pump problem causing all this. But now since the thing runs perfect, it's time to make it perfect. All new injectors, delivery valve springs and valves and seals

This tractor is way too nice looking and now running, of a tractor to half *** it if this conversation we're in person I promise you that none of this misunderstanding about my way of fixing things would have happened.

Any way, hope everyone is doing well and most of all being safe.
