How Garbage Biodiesel Ruined My Classic Massey Ferguson Tractor (And How I Fixed It)
What happens here
The creator starts by draining the remaining coolant from the engine by removing the lower radiator hose, noting the need to replace both the hose (due to its condition) and the hose clamps. He then shows the fuel injection pump, explaining that its removal involves accessing a drive gear behind a cover plate. He marks the position of the injection pump relative to the engine block with a Sharpie to ensure correct timing during reinstallation. The pump is secured by three bolts, which will be loosened after the drive gear is disengaged. He emphasizes that if the engine is cranked or rotated after the pump is removed without first marking the timing, it will result in significant timing issues.
Goal: Safely detach and remove the faulty fuel injection pump.
