You and me both Steve. Seems there's always something else soaking up the cash for my barn project, like three kids going to college!

So, I made some time today to mess around with Ed's tractor. I figured I would try bleeding the fuel system again before I condemned the injector pump. As with previous attempts, I checked to make sure there was adequate fuel in the tank. Opened the valve at the bottom of the tank. Loosened the bleed screw on the top of the filter housing until a steady flow of fuel, free of bubbles flowed and then tightened the nut. I then loosened the bleed nut on the side of the injector pump and cranked the engine till a steady stream of fuel sprayed from the fitting. All good so far, but now, I loosen the fitting on one of the injectors, crank the engine and nothing. No sign of any fuel. Throttle lever is wide open. Fuel shutoff is pushed into the dash. Fuel is returning into the tank. But no fuel to any of the injectors. I even added an electric fuel pump between the tank and the filter and still no fuel at the injectors.

And here is something that's a bit confusing, the service manual says to open the bleed screw on the injector pump and loosen the injector lines at the injectors while cranking the engine to bleed the injector lines..


Any thoughts on this?

I was gonna say loosen the lines at the injector pump to the injectors and see if any fuel comes out.
Maybe you should remove those and see if the are clogged.

I should pull all the lines and make sure they are all clear.

David before you do anything else you should loosen all the lines at the injectors. It’s been dry for a while. Don’t just crack them but loosen a couple turns on all 4 or 3 or however many injectors it has. Crank it and you should have fuel start to flow. Tighten when ALL are leaking fuel and you should get it to fire. It sometimes needs all to bleed if they’ve sat forever not just one.

I did Mike. I soaked 'em all down with PB the other day and opened them all, like disconnected, cranked for a while and nothing. I opened the injector line fittings at the pump end too and got nothing. With the addition of the electric boost pump the fuel really flows well out of the bleed fitting on the pump and through the tank return but nothing out of the injector lines.

I find it odd that the service manual would say to bleed the lines with the injector bleed screw open...

After several unsuccessful attempts to get fuel out of the pump I decided that it was time to move the Ford to a location where I could more easily work on it. So, on Thursday morning one of my boys and I dropped by Ed's and dragged the tractor out. I gave the kid the option of driving the unregistered, uninsured truck or ride and steer the busted tractor. He chose B. We successfully towed the blue beast to another customers property where we have been working steadily for quite a few years, luckily without any interference from the Ol' Bill.

I have been working on this property since 2001 and the first project that I did here was to build these two equipment sheds. They are actually pole barns, of sorts. Originally they were to be built on utility poles but I was able to convince my customer to let me make a few modifications to those plans.

The base of the buildings is a 12" x 36" steel reinforced concrete strip footing that extends to 5' below grade. The 12" diameter steel reinforced poured concrete columns are tied into that footing, and into the 12" x 36" steel reinforced concrete grade beams whose tops are 6" below grade. This all ties into the board formed 8" thick steel reinforced concrete end walls.

The roof structures are attic trusses and the roofing is clear anodized aluminum, standing seam, all hidden fasteners.

The wall systems and gates are all chain link on galvanized steel pipe frames with weather block fabric under.

Each building is 60'.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
