  • Bleeding the injection system and starting of the 4000 rowcrop restoration after 2 years of work. Lots a troubleshooting needed but it's a runner.

    I have one of those engines 172 d out of a Sulair air compressor installed in a Michigan 55a rear steer it sips fuel and always starts. Just pulled it out to fix the rear main seal your videos are a help

    Great job. I was hoping when you finish this project you could post a video of cost and hours spent.

      Cost wouldn't be an issue but hours spent, who knows. Sometimes I spend all day working on stuff and other times I can't do stuff for weeks. Had to wait 3 weeks to sandblast the power steering pump and lift arms due to rain here lately.

    How much fuel should shoot out??? Mine will start with a shot of starting fluid but won't stay running???

    • @chickenhousemechanic
      @chickenhousemechanic  Před 3 dny

      @MrJackinthebox46 should have a solid stream maybe 3 inches long. Not sure of actual volume of fluid. Timing off could also cause it to not stay running since it runs off starter fluid.

    Great video, just curious, where did you get the exhaust elbow with bracket? I’m trying to put a 4000 row crop together and need one.

    My fuel filter "housing" i guess you would call it is leaking literally everywhere from places on the bottom and the little brass nut on top. Any idea where i could pick up a new one or is there some seals in mine i could fix?

    • @chickenhousemechanic
      @chickenhousemechanic  Před 11 měsíci

      There are some seals on the brass fittings from what I can remember. Probably just some o-rings. The main seals are on the filter. As for the housing I don't know of any new ones so you'd have to locate a good used one.

    Appreciate you posting. I have 172 engine in my 861 diesel. It runs very good. A little blue smoke out the tailpipe, which makes me wonder if my calves need adjusting. I set them at about 0.016” cold. Any advice? Thx. 😊

    • @chickenhousemechanic
      @chickenhousemechanic  Před rokem

      Blue smoke is oil burning. A tiny bit is normal. Excessive smoke can be rings/piston bore or injector seals. Valve seals dont really do much on these engines which is where the small amount of blue can come from. Usually get some gray smoke when revving. If you set the valves cold I'd go closer to 0.014" since everything expands with heat.

      Working on sheet metal right now. Have one hood side ready for paint and other is blasted and in epoxy primer. With growing season here it really slows my progress. Same reason videos are slow coming out right now.

    You look to me a Ford expert? I have a industrial engine on a generator and I can't find any information what kind of een engine it is. I think it's maybe a Ford? Can I send you a picture of the engine?

    Worked on what i think is a ford 801 with a 172D engine that i bought as a project. Hopefully i can start it tomorrow. First tractor i buy and work on. Paid $500 for it. Whats a good source for parts?

      I get parts from all over the place. Just8ns, yesterdays tractors, steiner tractor, and ebay to name a few. Love the 801 series diesels. Have an 861-D that I redid 10 years ago. Runs like a champ.

      Beautiful Tractor by the way. do you know where to get replacement parts for the fuel line system that goes inside the valve cover assembly? mine is leaking in that area. I have a 1961 Ford 641 D I think it is the 144 engine.
