    Kudos to ThePumpGuySC

    I know he's already got quite a following around here, but I can't help but throw another massive endorsement for ThePumpGuySC - he turned my CV pump around and got it back in less time than the postal service got it to him in the first place. His help was key in determining that the thing has...

    Unavoidable biodiesel - additive options?

    The stuff is expensive but sounds like it's been doing the job a long, long time. I'll look to scoop some up and have it on-hand. Thanks for the input!

    Unavoidable biodiesel - additive options?

    My concern is that, like ethanol in modern gas, the veggie oils in BD seem to really wreak havoc with injection pumps and injectors that were never meant to use it.

    Unavoidable biodiesel - additive options?

    Living in the midwest, states have been running incentives to replace all petro-diesel options with bio-diesel - Iowa, Illinois, Missouri and possibly others are all producers of bio-diesel and have either started or completely phased out petro-diesel options. I can probably still manage to get...

    MF 150 Diesel no-start

    Oh maybe that's the whole mess then, it was never really coming UP from the pump but rather down the other side of the return, which tees into the tank and is fed from the lift pump through the secondary filter. I'll be damned that makes sense. Perkins could have done a little better job by...

    MF 150 Diesel no-start

    I'm talking about a drip of fuel every 10 seconds of cranking or so. There has to be SOME level of pressure in order to fire the injectors and I'm pretty confident this isn't nearly enough lol. There's no way it could run on the amount of fuel getting up the lines. The worst part is I...

    MF 150 Diesel no-start

    I barely get anything out of the pump whatsoever, let alone up to the injectors. I pulled the front injector line off the pump before I went under the top cover and got nothing at all out of it. After playing around with the metering valve, I get a random drip here and there off the line at...

    MF 150 Diesel no-start

    I wish the injector lines were that easy to get to on a 150. The injectors mount 90 degrees off of these on the 180. The pump is shot, I assume the plungers are seized. I've got a guy on another forum that's been talking to me that also rebuilds them for a living. He's quoted me a price, but...

    MF 150 Diesel no-start

    It's unfortunate - I'm out of work right now (yay layoffs) and the old man is a retired farmer so these fairly big ticket items suck to run into, but I'll get it figured out one way or another. I can only assume this is caused by modern fuels. The pumps he uses aren't specifically noted as...

    MF 150 Diesel no-start

    Looking that way. I had the top cover off today and the metering valve is completely free - I expected it to be gummy at the very least. All back together and now I get drips to the injectors but minus any pressure, so the plungers are probably stuck or otherwise. It'll likely end up coming...

    MF 150 Diesel no-start

    I guess tomorrow I'll check the in-pump filter screen. Although the tractor is stored with the fuel stop in the "run" position, I did work it back and forth several times yesterday. Is it possible the cutoff is stuck shut? Is that under the top cap of the pump?

    MF 150 Diesel no-start

    SITREP - I ran to town this morning and grabbed some fuel line, cut off the rusted section of return and patched it. But dumb me grabbed 1/4 instead of 3/16 line and reefing on the clamps wasn't enough. I swapped it temporarily with some 3/16 clear tubing which won't hold up in the end, but...

    MF 150 Diesel no-start

    Thanks for the input guys. I'll head to town for some fuel line to make a repair on the return in the morning and then get back to it and let you know. I topped the battery last night but I'll go hook it back up and set her to slow roast. Chat with you more tomorrow.

    MF 150 Diesel no-start

    It wouldn't ultimately bleed through the return, just more slowly? I can put more into the tank but I'm hesitant to fill it too full in the event that I need to lift it back off again.

    MF 150 Diesel no-start

    After posting I kept on reading through various threads and saw it noted that I could patch the return line with regular fuel hose and clamps. That would at least be a temporary solution while I sort things out. I crack the banjo bolts on the top of the injectors - I forget what Massey...
