1220 Ford Tractor no fuel to injectors

[wolfie63]

I have a 1220 ford tractor that has been sitting for a period of time, not sure how long exactly, We are trying to get it to start but we are not getting fuel to the injectors. Loosened all the injection lines and there is no fuel coming out of the injection pump, Any suggestions. Do I have to take the shut off selinoid off to get the rack to move or ?

Does it have fuel to the injection pump and through the filter?

Unfortunately, this is a topic often discussed here, parts in diesel fuel injection pumps stick while setting unused often making the pump unable to do its job. The pump on that tractor looks fairly simple. You might want to try pulling it out and see if you can find the problem. Here is a link to the manufacturer’s parts catalog for it. Ford 1220 part catalog I would also suggest getting at least an I&T manual for it. I have no idea if pump disassembly is covered by it. Here is a link to the manual from YT.

First things first. Before you took things apart, did you open the throttle lever at least over half way? On my littlest Shubara, the pump stays shut off unless I open the throttle halfway or more.
Please disregard as mine is a xx10 series. Sorry.
