I need help on possible things to look at on a Ford 1110 that was running before an oil and hydraulic change but now will not start.
Here is a little backstory and details: I just bought a 1985 Ford 1110 with the HST with 1083 hrs on it. It was running and decent but not great starting in the cold. The previous owner was not doing much of the required maintenance the last year he had it, but it wasn't the worst I had seen. I just got it home and fixed the major issue of the return fuel line from the injectors being broken (so diesel was dribbling on the engine). I ran it for about two hrs scoping snow, then drove it into the garage to do a much-needed oil change and hydraulic fluid change. I replaced the oil filter and cartridge hydraulic filter (there are two paper filters as well, but I didn't do these at the time). I started the tractor and started right up. I backed it out of the garage door and operated the loader several times. I then got off the tractor to let it run for a bit to get up to operating temp. when I was walking away, it died as if the engine speed lever was pulled to the off position.
After that, I tried restarting it, and nothing. I assumed I ran out of fuel but called it for the night as I was planning to do the fuel filter and replace a fuel hose tomorrow anyway. the next day I drained the fuel tank, replaced the fuel filter, and replaced a deteriorated fuel line. I filled the tank up to full, then bled the fuel lines at the pump and the injectors....and nothing. I then tried jumping the battery with my truck in case it was low and the start wasn't spinning at full speed (it made no difference). Next, I removed the engine speed adjustment screw in case that was the issue(I put it back where it was when that didnt work). Lastly, the glow plugs were replaced before I did the oil change and it operated for about two hours with the new glow plugs. I have ensured the oil and hydraulic are not overfilled.
So far, nothing has resolved the issue, and I'm unsure what to try next. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Here is a video of it trying to start. New video by Jeffrey Suda
