Oil & Fuel MF 1030L quit running after oil change

[wjordan]

I am confused. I just changed the Engine oil, Oil Filter, Hydraulic Fluid, & Hydraulic Filter and used the correct filters. On my 1987 MF 1030L It was running fine before the change. It ran for a few minutes after the change then slowly died. It will not restart. I have bled the 3 injector lines and there seems to be plenty of fuel at the supply line onm the injector pump. Anyone run into this before? Thanks in advance.

Sounds to me like there may be a loose connection somewhere in the fuel system. If it is a very small amount of air going into the system It could run for a while then shut down. Did you change fuel filters also? If so make sure you turned the fuel back on at the pump. Does your filter have a water separator on the bottom? If so I would make sure it is sealed good. Wish I could be more help but not familure with your tractor.

I changed the fuel filter a few days ago and has been running fine since.

Just a thought... How dose the fuel cut off work on this tractor, solenoid? If so give that a look over, wires and so on. Just maybe for what ever reason what ever device shuts down the fuel to turn of the tractor off has gone bad or you knocked a wire lose or broke a wire. (if a electrical shut down, make sure to check all fuses as well)

Well it turns out that "Timing is Everything" rechecked everything, tried to start with no success. Long story short wound up dropping the oil pan to check the bearings and found center cylinder spun a connecting rod bearing. Sometimes the sum of the parts are greater than the whole hopefully that won't be the case here. Anybody have a spare Toyosha MS142 block laying around?
