Dzldenny Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Huh. We have a 1026 purchased new that received a Year-A-Round at the dealership before delivery. I don't remember seeing that. Maybe the dealer tossed it because they knew it's fate... I'm excited about this build/save. I look over the pics every time I open this thread. Dang that's a good looking tractor. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tperson Posted August 7 Author Share Posted August 7 (edited) Had a little time over the weekend to pressure wash the 1566 (believe it or not, there was a tractor under there!) and spent a little time prepping to pull the injection pump. I timed the injection pump to dead-nuts and then put the pointer back on the bell housing. Here’s the skinny: with the pump timed, the engine is at 49 degrees (should be 15 per the book). I thought I must have goofed something up, so I started over…same result. What the heck? Tonight or tomorrow, I’m going to pull the cover off the front of the pump drive gear housing and see what I see…any advice on what to look for? If it ‘jumped a tooth’, which gear is the most likely offender? Is it conceivable that one of the gears lost a tooth? If so, it it possible that the valves skipped a tooth too? Edited August 7 by tperson corrected timing per snoshoe's post (18 vs 15deg) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirt_Floor_Poor Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Just to add my $0.02 I think that tractor would look great just how it is fixed up. There’s nothing but open station tractors at most shows now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoshoe Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Which pump marks are you lining up? The ones behind the pipe plug or in the side cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5488ih Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Pump timing should be @ 15 degrees? Could the pump shaft bolts come loose & screwed up the timing? I’d take the valve cover off & make sure ur @ TDC on #1 cylinder. 1st 3 valves should be loose to confirm. Just remove the pump then.

Kinda what I was thinking, I'll pull the front cover and we'll see what we see. Not going to be tonight, maybe tomorrow. Standby for an update.

Marks on pump drive hub. With number one on compression. The marks you used will be visible but not lined up. Those are for timing the head. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, 10-4...I saw that, took the plug out and shined a light in there...but didnt know what I was looking at or for. I'll try again and report back.

tperson Posted August 14 Author Share Posted August 14 Welp, the weekend plan took a different turn Friday (turned out to be for the better). The local Bomgaars had batteries on sale, so I snagged a couple and installed them Friday after replacing the engine oil, fuel, and coolant filter, and changing engine oil. The fuel looked and smelled good, so we cracked all the injector lines and cranked the engine over to get oil to where it needed to be and to blead the pump/lines. Once we tightened the injector lines, I bet it didn't make a half a revolution before it started and ran. Actually it ran really well...no smoke, no funny noises, no unexpected leaks or surprises. A new theory is emerging: it DID have a bad pump on it at one time, but it was replaced (as indicated by the "RENEWED" tag on the pump) and not everyone got the status update. Drove it home, changed the hydraulic filter (not milky), vacuumed all the mouse poop out and scrubbed the inside of the cab (that was a chore). Even the headlights and flashers work! 16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not that bad to get in and out of. Leave it for awhile, it will grow on you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
