Hello boys, the reason I posted the picture of the two bolts with the injectors, was to help illustrate. How i used the bolts to remove the injectors. I went ahead and removed the injectors, hooked them up outside the engine like I stated I was going to do. when I cranked it over number one was...

Thanks for the info Fedup. I appreciate your input, as this thing has me baffled. I did solve the removal of the injector housing. I was able to get two nuts under the collar, and then thread bolts through pushing against the head, which raises the injector hosing out of the head. my plan at...

I’ve got a copy of the service manual and the parts manual. The service manual is pretty brief on the subject. it only states to remove the two bolts, holding the injector housing collar to the head and then remove the injector Housing. The parts manual shows a pretty good description of the...

My son-in-law sent over a project. It has a Mitsubishi K 3-D engine. It’s a Toro ground master mower. it turned over but wouldn’t start. It wasn’t getting any fuel to the fuel injection pump, so I check the fuel pump and it didn’t work. Replace the pump, and bled the injector pump and the three...

t man and bczoom, thanks for your response to my question. It sure helps to have friends on the net that can help from time to time. Again, I appreciate your help!:tiphat:

I am working on a JD 318 and the engine spec's call for a torque of 18+/- 1 N-M (159 +/- 9 lb-in). Another is 20+/- 1 N-M (177 +/- 9 lb-in). What exactly does this mean? I have an inch pound and a one pound torque wrench, but not a metric type.:pat:

:wave::respect:Hey guys, I got the old John Deere back together today. I had packed some vasoline in the new oil pump as I assembled it, and even though it didn't start because I had to bleed the injecter pump, it developed oil pressure while cranking the engine over to bleed the fuel system...

Hi Guys, Several months ago, posted a problem I was having with my JD750. The oil pressure light wouldn't go out for several seconds, after start up after setting for a week or so. I thought I had the problem solved, but sometimes wishful thinking just doesn't work out. As I have used the...

jd110, to answer your question, yes I did change the filter. I didn't know if the old oil in the old filter, would cause a problem with the new oil. At that point I didn't want to take a chance on any variables changing the test. I did use the same type of filter I had removed. Same type I have...

Pressure problem solved :wink: :wave: Hey, you guys are Great!! Many thanks to Archdean and Paul Christenson! Paul hit the nail on the head when he asked about the type of oil I had used in my recent oil change. I no longer had the containers, but the question was there, was it a gasoline...

The oil line was full of oil. The tester gauge reads 25 psi when the engine is warm. I let it set with the gauge still hooked up, and the next day (engine cold), the engine ran with 0 psi for 10 to 12 seconds when first started, then the gauge jumped to 40 psi, till the engine warmed and the psi...

Thanks for your reply. The filter and oil (30 weight ) were changed 6 hrs ago, same oil and filter I have used every year. There are no filter screens that I know of or are any mentioned in the service manual. As to the temperature, that has never been a problem, as I used the tractor to get my...

Well, this one has really got me going! My John Deere 750 is almost 20 years old, never had this problem in the past. When it is started cold, it takes about 10 to 15 seconds for oil pressure to develop. I thought it was the idiot light, but I put an oil pressure gauge tester on and it told the...
