    What Tiller is This?

    Just picked this up and there is no identification - or at least the info on the tag is obliterated. Appreciate any help I can get.

    Ford 3000 diesel - starter won't run from key switch

    I wasn't aware of a safety switch until now - saw a reference to it in the shop manual wiring diagram but could not find anything out about what it does. I don't think mine was working ... never had to make sure the high/low was in neutral - if that is how it is supposed to work, just turned...

    Ford 3000 diesel - starter won't run from key switch

    Would I still have 12v at the solenoid connection on the starter when I turn the key to the start position if the neutral safety switch is bad?

    Need Help with my CAV IP

    Just got the IP installed after rebuild by Pumpman and everything is working great! Al said it had buildup from bad fuel and water contamination. I guess premium diesel, stabilizer and water remover are going to be incorporated going forward, in no hurry to shell out another $500.

    Ford 3000 diesel - starter won't run from key switch

    I can jump 12v directly to the solenoid and starter turns over great but when I use the key it will not activate - I have power to the solenoid connection when I turn the key either to start or to the thermostart position but it will not activate the starter ... no clicking or anything. I...

    Need Help with my CAV IP

    Ok so I tore it down to get the gunk out of it, was a sticky gooey mess - would not pump out injector ports. My question is after I removed the pump head and pump rotor and cleaned them then after I inserted the shaft, added some WD40, and spun it with my hand it would only freewheel about 1/4...

    Ford 3000 fuel pump

    Speaking from experience I would stay away from buying on ebay ... IP went bad while under warranty and was given option of refund or replacement ... chose replacement. Was told by seller that they decided to do a refund ... their price on the IP is now about $200 higher ... so I would guess...

    How to solve Diesel Spring Startup Problems?

    Ultradog - It is a CAV pump, when I disassembled it it was pretty much covered with a gooey dark brown film - acetone was about the only thing that would get it off. The advance mechanism was virtually glued tight and the pump pins and rollers were also sticking, the metering valve was...

    How to solve Diesel Spring Startup Problems?

    Thanks for all the input - Yes I live in MN the land of crappy fuels, gas or diesel. I buy at FF, not sure what their diesel fuel consists of but probably bio. I will see if I can find #1 or 2 any place. I will also add the Bio Kleen, even though a 16oz bottle will last me way beyond the...

    How to solve Diesel Spring Startup Problems?

    I have a Ford 3000 diesel and it seems every spring I need to pull the IP and clean the gunk out of it to get it to run. I do add winterizer but it does not seem to help at all. I am starting to think the diesel fuel I buy may be part of the culprit but I know a bunch of others that are using...

    New IP and tips - Now Hard to Start My 3000

    Thanks for the Info - must have screwed something up - always started good before replacing the injector tips and pump. If as you say, white smoke means loss of compression I am wondering if maybe the tip washer is bad or out of position ( I did put in new seals) ... always puffed black smoke...

    New IP and tips - Now Hard to Start My 3000

    Replaced the CAV IP and Injector tips, IP was initial problem. It starts but it takes about 2 minutes of cranking to get it going, starts puffing white smoke almost immediately. Was wondering if I should maybe change the IP timing to see if starting improves or ? Seems to run fine once...

    Need to Pull it to Start My 3000 Diesel

    Sounds like you got yourself a "real" project with the Case :) Got the IP installed today and 2 of the 3 injector tips changed - could not get the rear most one out but did not try real hard ... did not want to break it before I could try the IP. Turns out I guess that it is not all that...

    Need to Pull it to Start My 3000 Diesel

    Still waiting for new IP to arrive - then will head up to cabin and install the IP and Injectors. I am still planning on working on the old IP ... there just doesn't seem to be that much that can go wrong with it but it sure has me stumped now, was working great last summer - just can't believe...
