need some help

[Anthony S DeVries]

I have a 1855 that was my grandfathers. He passed away and the tractor has been sitting. We changed the fuel filter and bled the air out of the lines. We have fuel at the injector pump. She will start and run for a few minutes and then die. She will start up again but will not run for more than 5 min. Any ideas? Or are you are know of someone who could take a look for me. I am in N.W.Indian right off the toll road in Valparaiso. We are interested in selling this tractor. Thanks

I am asking 7k for it. Not sure if I am in the ball park but looking at tractor house, there are a few listed in there around that price. With this being a diesel and a 100 hp tractor, i feel its a good starting point. It does have a cab with air and heat( i believe heat, air there are lines and a comp)and all the glass is good. We worked on it running and feel like its sucking in air and are going to replace all o rings that we can find. Give me a call if ur interested in looking at it. 219-406-5683

Does any one have some suggestions on where to look for air getting it the fuel lines. I was told to spray starting fluild along the lines and listen to a change in the tractors running. pros and conns to doing this. Any other ideas on why a diesel would start and then die and restart again. Also i do not know much on this tractor, there are two levers by or right kneen, one for throtle and whats is the other for? Thanks
