    IH diesel 444 tractor

    The tractor has been sitting outside in the elements for several years before I rescued it last spring. I don’t know anything else about it, the guy I got it from has Parkinson’s & can’t communicate much anymore. So, does anyone know what the letters on the cam inside the fuel pump are...

    So I just re-read a post/tread from someone else having (what sounds like) similar issues to mine. When I rebuilt the pump I followed (bears) video to a T. Even corresponding with him thru email a few times “about the timing of the pump.” I need to double check his response, but I’m fairly...

    I checked the timing last week when I had time to go up & work on it. The timing is as it should be, all the dots line up properly. As for pulling the tractor, I’m not unposed to trying that eventually…..I am still baffled by the fact that I see it getting fuel out of the injector lines, there...

    Fuel is getting thru the lines & to the injectors, & it’s a good stream…..I just don’t understand why it’s not getting into the combustion or pre-combustion chamber…..it’s like it’s just stuck there…..in the injectors.

    Injectors were rebuilt by a reputable diesel shop & I rebuilt the fuel injection pump & cordoned with “the bear” on line.

    No, sir. I spray some either directly into intake (air cleaner off) & I’ll get black smoke & it starts up until the either has been used up & then dies. I try immediately to start again & it only turns over with puffs of white smoke out of the exhaust.

    Ok, thank you. I’ll check into those things & post what I find. But I forgot to mention in my list that I installed new glow plugs. I will test to insure they’re working correctly.

    I did a compression check on all of the cylinders & they were all in the lower 300’s psi……would that be considered sufficient compression for that tractor given its age?

    IH diesel 444 tractor

    Im stumped. I’m a mechanic @ a local golf course. I’ve never been as stumped as I am with this machine. It only starts on either. I’ve checked everything I can think of, even checked things that multiple sites have suggested in their threads. I’ve been literally working on this tractor off & on...
