Dent price.

Last week I bought a smaller Kubota loader at the scrap yard for $200. Had it sold in under a day for $1k.

Cool starry bra. :flipoff2:
 
Working on the injection pump for the Massey

Picked up a cheap seal kit

Pulled the end cap off and disassembled what I assume is a pressure relief

Some chunks in the screen

I popped the cap off the top. Not sure what I was expecting to find, but it wasn't this

Overall the pump is fairly clean. I don't think I'm going to dig in much deeper. I suspect the mechanism for the shutoff was stuck, so I'm thinking that's why I couldn't get it to pump fuel.

Tomorrow morning after work I'm going to put it all back together, and then Friday morning im going back to the Massey to put it back on and see if I can get it running :smokin:

Before you go back to the tractor I think it’d be worth making sure it pumps on the bench. Hang a bottle full of diesel from the wall with a hose going to the feed side and figure out some way to spin it with a drill. Make sure it doesn’t have one of 4 ports inactive or worse all 4 still inactive
 
I wasn't sure if it needed 2-3 psi to run properly, but I guess that doesn't matter on the bench.

I've got a couple gallons of diesel in the jug. I could set it up in the bed of the truck and feed it to the pump basically on the ground in the stones. Shouldn't be too hard to rig something up to run the pump off the drill. I'll look into it in the morning :grinpimp:
 
Got some supplies together for the dozer skid plate. My neighbor had a big piece of 3/8” that was a gooseneck hitch that he pulled out of a truck. The brackets will be built from from an old 3pt mount, and it will be strengthened with some 4” tube cut in half and welded to the plate. It will bolt in place so it can be removed.

Any John Deere hydraulics experts in here? I've got a few questions before I waste a bunch more money on shit I don't need/won't work for my application. I have an older (read pre emissions) 5075E and a home built 8' drag scraper that I use to level house pads, yards, whatever. I've been doing it by eye, or setting up my rotating laser and doing it that way too. About a year ago, I broke down and bought a Canamek laser guided set up, but it says I need a constant flow hydraulic source. The 5075E doesn't have that from what I understand, I need a Power Beyond kit. For the damn life of me I can't find one for that tractor. I find parts and pieces, but I don't know what the fuck I'm looking at and if it'll even work. Anyway enough rambling. The tractors identification number is PY5075U000020 I really appreciate any input.

Edit I've found p/n RE282528 says it's compatible on 5075E, but with my tractors PIN on Deere's parts site, says doesn't fit your application. Even called the dealer and he's stumped too.

This seems to work

Just gravity feeding it 100% Marvels. It's spitting out all 4 injector ports. Not very much coming out, but I could see a ton of air coming out the return port, so assuming it's not bled yet. Not sure how long it takes to bleed, so I'll probably just sort that one out tomorrow when it's on the tractor. Figure it'll probably bleed faster if it's being supplied fuel from a pump as opposed to just gravity feeding down some tubing.

Hell yes. A disassembled pump stores a lot of air. I am surprised that tractor would have a prime pump but I don’t remember where the tank is on that one. I have two diesel tractors and dad has one and all 3 are gravity feed to the IP.

As far as not much coming out, the displacement per pulse isn’t a lot of volume so that doesn’t sound off. A good pump for a little diesel looks like it’s barely spitting any when it’s got no pressure and just coming out of the port. But if you could see what the injector nozzle looked like with that same volume it would look like a lot.

Do you have all the information you need to time that pump correctly when you re-install it?
 
Yeah fuel pump on right side of engine, before the pre filter even. Fuel tank is dead center above engine.

From what I read online, the injection pump can't be installed wrong. It keys into the timing gear so it can't go 180° out, and we're just going to set the advance by putting it right back against the grease line on the timing cover :laughing:
 
Would also assume the throttle is at idle sitting there, so the governor isn't commanding a ton of fuel.
 
I looked it up on Deereparts.com and it shows part # LVB25367

LVB25367 Looks like it's been replaced by RE193598 and says this part won't fit your equipment. I tried the link but it leads to about 3,000 random parts?

Edit What the hell, there's gotta be something wrong with my Googlefu... er Deerefu

I am a tard. I put in your tractor model and it was defaulting to mine..

Got the old girl back in action. Put about 4 hours on it today, running great.

Working on moving this big pile of debris into my 1/8 mile berm. Takes a while picking it apart, there are a bunch of 10ft logs mixed into it.

The piles of dirt are engineered fill sand for the giant hole I dug for my house. Everything behind it up to the wood line in the back needs to be stumped and cleared. About half of it is done.

This is what it looked like 1 year ago. It’s a cool layout of land, 10 acres. It’s narrow but not too narrow to be impractical and exactly 1/4 mile deep.

You live in Jurassic Park?
An old field that has grown up over the passed decade. It grows so fast. Most of it is pasture but there is a lot of crap growing up close to where the old tree line is.

The red line is the outline of the field itself and the west side is what is really grown up. It’s about 300 acres I believe so I get to do all of that 10 foot at a time.

My weekend and my poor tractor/bush hog. And this is no small tractor (not that big either).

Looks like my place, but all that is Tallow Tree saplings.

I have no idea what those are. I will believe you. The ground is pretty trashy and devoid. It is really sandy so I am ripping up some of the bigger stuff. It is pretty bream and soft until I hit some hardwoods that are starting out here and there.

The most envassive and trashy tree that exist on the planet. You may call them "Chinaberry Trees" and they grow like weeds. Terrible plant.
 
My goal is to get a perimeter fence up and put cows out there. I’d like to get the ground healthy again for hay. It is 3 miles around it roughly so that is going to be fun and expensive.

I got some areas like that on my property, use to be part of a big cattle ranch that is now two properties over, that the owner sold off over the years. My neighbor has live here his whole life and said areas of my property were pasture, when he was a kid 35 years ago, now I got 50' tall whispering aspens and other brush all over that area. I would love to get it back into useable pasture for some cows.
