Hello! My first post in this forum, hope this is the correct section for this type of post.
English is not my first language and I am far from a professional mechanic, so ill do my best to explain.
My uncle became ill about 2 years ago and as a result his farm was pretty much abandoned since then. We are now trying to repair his John Deere 5820 which was parked outside for 2 years. Tractor was working fine 2 years ago.
We would like to get the tractor operational, it wont ignite currently. We have installed new battery, refilled oil, drained water from the system.
What should we do next? Dismantle the injectors maybe? Drain the diesel and refill? (Tank is half full)
I was actually able to ignite 1 time, but it died after about 2 seconds. The 20 attempts before and 20 attempts after was unsuccesful.
Any help is appreciated!
