    Ford 3000 with Simms injection pump

    Ok Hacke. Got it. That lever is big enough that I should be able to connect it by feel. I’ll have to do it in the morning while I’m still sharp.

    Ford 3000 with Simms injection pump

    Drove the tractor for the first time today. Thanks for all the help. It’s a Ford 3000 with Simms injection pump. My question today is where does the hand throttle linkage attach to the Simms injection pump? The only place looks like a lever between the pump and engine block. Can only feel it...

    Ford 3000 with Simms injection pump

    Talked with a mechanic friend of mine and he suggested that I continue cranking for a while with the injector lines cracked which I did. Diesel and air spewed out the lines after about thirty seconds then started getting a good strong pulse. Tightened the lines and the engine stated and ran fine...

    Ford 3000 with Simms injection pump

    Disconnected the lines to bleed at the injectors and cranked the engine. No joy. Last week primed to the injection pump using the pump lever on the Simms fuel injection pump and had good pump action. Today opened the bleeder screw on the pump and used the lever but got no fuel being pumped out...

    Ford 3000 with Simms injection pump

    This tractor has an alternator. Got the alternator pulley lined up with the water pump pulley. Now need a fan belt and a bracket to adjust fan belt tension. Then rewire with new gauge cluster. Checked out Yesterday Tractor parts website and need to make a list. Also been looking on Facebook...

    Ford 3000 with Simms injection pump

    Hacke, used your diagram to sort the starter wiring. Works perfectly now. Removed the starter/solenoid to install the battery cable and solenoid start wire because the dual filter blocked access to the lug and terminal. Found that the starter was only attached with 2 bolts instead of 3...

    Ford 3000 with Simms injection pump

    I will check in the morning and let you know. The connections are behind the dual fuel filters so it’s hard to see. I should have figured this out first before I installed the fuel filter assembly. Thanks very much for your input. Bruce.

    Ford 3000 with Simms injection pump

    12.7 volts was taken from the battery post and 12.67 volts was taken from the positive cable terminal to the positive battery post. Battery is strong and short is the full voltage. Not too familiar with starters but wondering if there is an internal short in the starter or if I connected the...

    Also need to add that tractor has been sitting in the shop for 3 years.

    Ford 3000 with Simms injection pump

    Disconnected the positive terminal from the positive battery post. Connected the negative terminal to the negative battery post. Battery is at 12.7 volts. Measured voltage across positive battery post and positive terminal and got 12.67 volts. I’m not proficient in electrical. Does this mean the...

    Ford 3000 with Simms injection pump

    I moved the positive battery cable to the stud on the solenoid and touched the negative battery terminal to the negative battery post and it is still shorting. Don’t know what to do next. You alls advice will be immensely appreciated. Bruce.

    Ford 3000 with Simms injection pump

    I have the tractor almost ready to crank to bleed the injectors. I primed up to the injection pump using the pump lever on the injection pump. I have a new battery. I need to know where to connect the positive battery cable to the starter/solenoid. I connected the positive cable to the rear stud...

    Ford 3000 with Simms injection pump

    The slots in the gear aligned with the bolt holes so have the fuel timing set at 19 degrees. Installed the injectors and lines to the fuel injection pump. Installed the line from the fuel tank to the fuel pump then from the fuel pump to the filter rack then from the filter rack to the injection...

    Ford 3000 with Simms injection pump
