    John Deere 790 instrument cluster

    Never mind. Problem solved. I was able to get them out with a fork.

    John Deere 790 instrument cluster

    Need to change the meter assembly (back panel) in the instrument cluster. To remove the old one, I need to pull 6 screws that hold the meter assembly and the 3 needles. I have the screws taken care of but how do I pull the needles? I tried pulling straight out but they did not loosen up and I...

    Ford 2000 diesel hard to start

    First of all, thanks for the continued support. I completed Hacke's #1 and #2 but have not gotten around to #3, or to Showcrop's isolation bottle. Neither 1 or 2 did the trick. In the process I noticed a tiny fuel leak at the base of one injector. At first I thought it was shiny metal after...

    Thank you Hacke and Showcrop. All promising suggestions worth a shot. Will work systematically through these over the next couple of days.

    Ford 2000 diesel hard to start

    Thanks for the diagrams. Removed the end plate and was disappointed everything looked clean and in order. The tractor is over 50 years old and I have had it for over 30 years, so I expected buildup. Is possible the pump was rebuilt before I bought. I replaced the small filter, a couple of...

    Ford 2000 diesel hard to start

    Great help, THANK YOU!! Repair kit is on its way - should be here next week. I have been searching for the pump diagram, unsuccessfully - thanks for sharing. Cheers

    Ford 2000 diesel hard to start

    Yes, I have the inline CPA/DPA type, and there is no priming pump between the filter and the injection pump. I had no idea there was a filter inside the endplate. Thank you for the sketches they are worth 1000 words. The written instructions are also very clear. Looks like this is a job where...

    Ford 2000 diesel hard to start

    Showcrop, I did read your posts several times. Not sure what you mean by pushing air vs pushing fuel. I can see the fuel squirting but cant see any air bubbles. I did follow the priming instructions posted in this forum several times (screw above filter >> bleeding screw in pump >&gt...

    Forgot to mention I also pulled the filter in the fuel tank but no problems there.

    Ford 2000 diesel hard to start

    I put a new fuel filter as suggested. I checked for leaks in the lines but found none. Engine is clean as I washed it a couple of years ago when changing injectors and doing a valve adjustment; should be able to see leaking. To make sure I went through every connection in the fuel system and...

    Ford 2000 diesel hard to start

    It seems to be spitting out squirts of diesel fuel as I turn the engine. I see this in each of the three lines.

    Ford 2000 diesel hard to start

    Thank you. When searching for leaks what exactly am I looking for? Diesel flowing out of fuel line connections or gaskets? Or could the leaks be internal and not obvious during a visual inspection?

    Ford 2000 diesel hard to start

    Have had a Ford 2000 3 cyl diesel for about 30 years. Lately it has become hard to start. I must bleed the fuel lines multiple times until it eventually starts. Once it does, it runs fine and can go all day. If you cut it off, will have to do the bleeding again. I replaced the fuel injectors and...

    Fuel Gauge reading backwards?

    I know this is an old thread, but just in case a solution was found. I installed a new sending unit and now the gauge reads backwards, i.e., as the tank empties the needle moves towards full.

    Oil light always ON in Ford 2000 diesel

    Seems you are doing quite well mentally. I guess helping people in this forum troubleshoot their problems keeps you sharp. Good strategy. I might try something like that (won't be tractors).
