Your fuel stop is cable operated, correct?
It should have a mechanical stop at full on and full off, I have had the cables slip on those.
Using a diesel compression gauge, (higher pressure then a gas engine) depending on your engine either thru
the glow plug port or the fuel injector port.

Yea but just look at the learning experiance you are getting.
Years ago when I got my Oliver 1550 it was old and a bit tired,
Right after I got it I changed the gear lube and hydraulic oil, after that the loader was quite weak.
When I drained the hydraulic hydraulics I saw how thick the fluid was and knew I had problems,
so a new pump took care of that for a bit.
Then moving snow one night broke a shift rail in the transmission, had to pull the hydraulics and top cover
and pto drive shaft and welded the shift rail in position in the transmission, re assembled and back going again.
Then went thru the head completely and did rings, bearings and seals to the engine.
She ran so much better ended up taking out the clutch, while replacing the clutch ended up rebuilding the hydro power
and replacing the pto drive hub and shaft.
These old tractors can still do the job but you will pull out some hair and cuss them for being a money pit at times,
but you can buy lots of parts for not very many payments and as long as you can do the work you'll come out ahead.
Unless you end up with spare tractors so you have one to use while repairing the others. :drink:

Been down that way a few times, traveling to Virginia and North Carolina.
Yea, I used that to keep two tractors around for the driveway and yard, should always have one working that way. :laughing:
But I've got a bit to do up here myself. They are putting in 2 miles of new fence on some rented ground on the farm this week.
I spent most of today smoothing out an 8 acre feed lot/pasture that cows pretty much destroyed, which happens most years.
Several hours at 1900-2000 rpm and 2 1/2 miles an hour, was going to do more tomarrow but it's raining now so that won't happen.
Got to help load about 20 head in the morning that are heading out.

Quite a bit of haylage and baleage and dry hay.
Well over 100 acers of hay and almost that in corn and a bit of sudan grass for feed also.
That's my brothers farm, I'm retired so I just give him a hand
