    ROOSA MASTER LEAKING WHERE HEAD/BODY COMBINE

    My Roosa Master has started leaking non-stop around the seal between the head and body. The pump is the style pictured below without the automatic timing on the side. The tractor is a 59 901. I can't find an exploded view of my pump, only the newer version. I am going to attempt to tackle...

    Some pics of my newly rebuilt 901

    The engine is Eldorado. The transmission is 70 Deville. Car is still RWD. You definitely know your Caddis.

    Some pics of my newly rebuilt 901

    I am not a Ford man with cars. Chevy or nothing in that respect. I do however have to admit that the Ford tractors of this era are beautiful. I have always wanted to build a 409 but they are near impossible to come by. My 500 has been bored, cam, intake, larger valves in heads, bowl/chamber...

    Some pics of my newly rebuilt 901

    The exhaust stack is on my list for my next day off. It is horrible. My current daily driver is a 54 Chevy 210. The car isn't close to perfect, but I drive it EVERY DAY! I removed the tired straight 6 last year and swapped in a Cadillac 500 from a 71 Eldorado into it with a automatic. I...

    Some pics of my newly rebuilt 901

    This forum was a god send for my crash course into the world of tractors. Everyone has been super helpful. Hopefully this baby last another 50+ years now. I purchased this 901 with the purpose of pulling a finish mower around my new home property. We built on 5+ acres and the old 54" ride on...

    Roosa Master Metering Stuck 3rd time

    He currently has PM turned off. So I can't directly ask him. Anyone else have a suggestion to clean the metering valve so it has smooth operation?

    Roosa Master Metering Stuck 3rd time

    I just rebuilt my 59 901 diesel. The only part not new or rebuilt is my Roosa Master Pump. I keep having issues with the metering valve getting stuck in closed position after shut down. I can lightly tap the pump with a wrench with throttle open and the tractor will fire back up. This will...

    59 901 Keeps destroying belts

    This is the current situation. The new water pump and alternator are both 1/2 pulleys. The factory crank shaft pulley appears to be 5/8. I have no governor rod that can conflict with it. I put a gates 44.5" belt on it last week. The tractor has gone 12 hours with this new belt with zero...

    59 901 Keeps destroying belts

    I have fresh rebuilt diesel 901 that now has roughly 8 hours on it. The engine keeps destroying belts. I have changed over to an alternator, and it has a new water pump. I have made sure tension is good on the belt. My new alternator kit is a 1 wire Delco style. I know on my big block chevy...

    No fuel presure at injectors on 59 901 deisel

    Well I towed the tractor up and down my driveway. No luck. I then saw a video of a guy bleeding his injectors and realized my pressure was nothing close to his. So I pulled the pump. The screen was clogged, and the metering valve was stuck. I tore the pump down. Thankfully I had a rebuild...

    No fuel presure at injectors on 59 901 deisel

    I was planning on using 3rd gear. Should I go down to 2nd instead?

    No fuel presure at injectors on 59 901 deisel

    Tractor is a 5 speed. I got it to have little puffs of smoke out of exhaust and one good sputter last night. I am throwing in the towel. After work, we are hooking it to the yukon and towing it in a low gear. Hopefully that takes care of it. Can I install a small 4-7psi helper pump between...

    No fuel presure at injectors on 59 901 deisel

    I added more fuel now and charged battery. I am not getting fuel pissing out of injector lines while turning over at the head. Still will not fire when I tighten them all back down. I sprayed a quick dab of ether in intake while cranking and she instantly tried to fire off. I don't want to...
