    3000 Diesel Fuel delivery problems

    Finally getting back to this project... Can anyone tell me the shade tree mechanic way to R&R this pump? I have a manual but it calls for several specialty tools and such that I don't have. Do you have to pull the engine cover? I know it is a lot to ask for shortcut instruction set...

    3000 Diesel Fuel delivery problems

    Thanks TxJim!! I'll look closer at all things pump related when our arctic freeze lifts. One final question for now... Is it possible to remove and replace the pump without taking the front of the engine (timing cover) off or does it require radiator and everything removed?

    3000 Diesel Fuel delivery problems

    Thanks for the quick replies. We had already put on a new filter and fresh diesel in the tank. I checked that we were getting fuel into and out of the filter but I have no idea what normal flow looks like. I was trying to remove the fuel inlet line at the pump and the banjo bolt was turning...

    3000 Diesel Fuel delivery problems

    Hello. Working on a friends 3000. It is a three cyl Diesel with CAV injector pump. The tractor started running badly with white smoke / not pulling at summers end and it was parked. Over the fall, the exhaust stack was left off and small amount of water got in. We got it all dried out...
