    Massey Ferguson 135 Diesel Injector pump Leaking

    Hello, This is my first time posting in the Massey Ferguson Forum, so please bear with me. I am helping my son with his Massey Ferguson 135 with the perkins 3 cylinder diesel engine (my dad bought it new in 1974). It is leaking fuel out of the back end of the injection pump. We replaced all of...

    Tractor buying situation that went well

    Saw a tractor I liked and it was priced very reasonable. Ad described it well, called the guy went to look. It needed work which was ok. Guy gave me a better price so I paid him. He had no problem taking a check he had to hold the tractor for over a week till I could pick it up (about 2 hours...

    1994 John Deere powrquad down shifts hard

    Just had powrquad transmission rebuilt in a 1994 John Deere 7400 but it seems to downshift hard, no mudulation just slams into lower gear and going from neutral stopped into reverse seems to slam. Shifting from forward to reverse it transitions fine. Is this normal or should there be a...

    8n wont start.

    If you haven't done so already, this is one of those posts I print & keep with my shop manual -- can't tell you how many times it has kept me from asking the same question over and over! Thanks, Bruce! Cheers Art

    8N start problem? help?

    What happens when you connect or disconnect the ground to the battery? If there is a spark, there is a draw somewhere in the system. No spark, no demand from the tractor so I would suspect the battery. Cheers Art

    Starter runs on

    The engine keeps turning and I can hear the starter is still running. After this episode, I pulled the plugs and they were dry, so according to Dell's earlier post they plugs are probably firing. I'll try pulling the starter, cleaning and lubricating the bendix. If that doesn't work, sounds...

    Starter runs on

    Still having problems getting started. Sometimes it seems the starter remains engaged when I release the starter switch and keeps going until I turn off the key. The key should have nothing to do with the starter circuit, and I can engage the starter with the starter switch when the key is...

    Still won't start

    Yep - used the extra plug you recommend I keep in the tool box with the wider gap - used the starter motor back end as the ground. Thanks! Art

    Still won't start

    Hello, all. Back again with my (digital) hat in hand, looking for knowledge. Finally found the source of my inconsistent starter problem - bad ground at the battery (pretty basic) and bad positive connector at the selenoid. My 8N (1950, front mount distributer) still won't start. Good spark...

    Follow up to Another electrical issue

    Thanks! I was assuming I needed a new Bendix -- you guys saved me $50! Still can't get a start, though. When I reassembled everything, the voltage drops immediately when I turn the key, then builds up VERY SLOWLY when I turn the key off. The voltage drop does not occur when I disconnect the...

    Follow up to Another electrical issue

    Thanks, all for your suggestions. Ran the wires, still couldn't find the problem. Had the altenator tested, and there were some problems so I'm installing that, but since the starter didn't turn when I jumped it, I pulled the starter and found the bendix stayed engaged. Tried spinning it in...

    Another electrical issue

    That's what is driving me nuts -- I know it is not a keyed starter, because I've tried to start it with the key off before -- starter cranks fine. I've run the wires three times according to the schematic here (JMOR's, I think -- thanks!)and I can't figure out why the key makes a difference...

    Another electrical issue

    Hi, all. Seems as though there are a lot of electrical issues going around, so I"ll add to the list. I was having starting problems, so I started going through the recommended list (spark, fuel, etc.). I ran the battery down, so I jumped it from the family Blazer. (1950 8N, 12V conversion...
