Help Getting JD 6400 Started In Cold Weather After Sitting for 5 years

[landrand]

If it sat for 5 years, I think ur pizzin in the wind..
I don’t mind helping, if u don’t mind put’n in the time.
Just do a Google search for CAV DPA.. there should be a few videos of top cover removal..
U really don’t have to take it off.. just familiarize yourself w the mv..

Ok, just watched a video on removing top cover and locating the metering valve. I can just tilt cover and perhaps giggle metering valve to get it unstuck... I'll give that a try now.

That # is the pump serial number..
The pump # will be something like: 3242F150

Ok. It's 3349F111x.

Look for a way to hook heater hoses from your tractor to your pickup. You can use the heater hose connections and buy a couple extra long pieces of hose to run between your tractor and your pickup. If you can't find a way to attach hoses to the tractor, consider making a T to go in the radiator hose.and buy a cheap radiator cap to add another inlet to the coolant system.
Running your pickup to warm the block up, while also charging the battery with jumper cables will help in getting it started once you have the fuel issue fixed.
Good luck,

Good to know. Thanks.

There’s probably a shut off bar that links the mv to the shut off shaft..
It going to move when u jiggle the mv free..
Just keep in mind that “hook” needs to be connected to the shut off “nub”.. when u put the cover back on..
Or.. seeing u have an electric shut off, leave the shut off bar out.. just don’t loose it..

I jiggled and twisted the mv. Put cover back on, and cranked it a few times. No fuel coming out at injectors.

Didn't pay attention to the the shutoff bar when I closed up the cap, as I did'nt read your last post.Think that shutoff bar did something to restrict fuel? I can remove the cap tomorrow and try it again, paying more attention to the shutoff bar.

How did it look under the top cover.?? Rusty.??
Was the mv stuck.??

I forgot to mention that the pump will be full of fuel..
Was it.??

The vertical plate that connects to the plunger for the MV had some rust on the top part.

The MV was a little snug at first. Moving it a bit freed it up nicely.

I'll relook at the shutoff bar and cranking it again again in an hour or two. In the meantime, I did some research last night on how to remove the pump. Say's I need a special tool (JDG670A or KJD10159) to remove pump from the timing gear cover. Here's what the manual indicated for a Lucas CVS pump. Do I need to invest in one of these tools or is there an alternative solution to removing the pump. Again, thanks for all your help!

Attach special tool JDG670A to gear (or KJD10159 to timing gear cover). Remove the three nuts attaching fuel injection pump to engine front plate. Turn cap screw of special tool clockwise until pump shaft is loosened from conical seat of drive gear. On engine with 37 kW auxiliary drive only, remove the center forcing screw from JDG670A tool and tighten the two cap screws until gear is pulled against cover. This will avoid that gear becomes disengaged from upper idler gear. Check for the presence of timing marks. If necessary, mark both the pump and the front plate
