a 1955 Super 77 Diesel Your 6 plugs are the caps for the energy cells. Yes hydraulics and PTO are live. MAke sure you have oil in the hydraulic before you run it much.

They are part of the combustion chamber. It was called a Lanova combustion chamber and was used in at least one diesel tractor model by all the American manufactures except Ford & John Deere. What is the problem with your injection pump?

The inj. pump is apart in a box that is how it came with the tractor, can I take those plugs out to oil cyls?
