After three weeks, I finally got the correct water pump for the tractor (long, boring story). the old one was knackered.
I ran her for about 30 minutes tonight, this was the first time that she has run in quite some time, and she was hard to start and there was a lot of white smoke coming out of her. It also sounded like she was missing at low revs.
Here she is after about 15 minutes or so. How does she sound?
She wasn't smoking that bad by then.
And at lower revs.
I think she is still missing a bit.
I've put some diepthane in the tank, but I don't know the provenance of that diesel so I think I'll flush the tank and replace it with fresh, and dump in more dipetane. I haven't done anything with the engine, I'm not sure what I should be doing apart from maybe cleaning the injectors.
I need to do up a pair of mounts for the radiator, as it isn't the original (I think it may be off a 770), once then, I'll give her run up the fields.
Any advice?
