I am kinda leaning at the steering cylinder as when the steering wheel turning is sending fluid to the cylinder it goes where you want it to go, when the fluid is stopped being sent it stops steering. so That is what makes me think the cylinder is bypassing. Of course I easily could be wrong. The cylinder would be also the much easier fix to do lets hope that is the problem. keep us informed as to what you find as I have a foton 504a so info. is always good to know.
there was two on alibaba for 1600.00 ea. plus whatever in shipping and import fees, better get it before they cut us off. can the block be rebuilt with a parts kit? I saw those too.
some of these tractors had a issue with bolts getting loose between engine and trans. causing shafts not to run true thru seals letting them leak. So splitting the tractor might be in your future. I can not remember the tractors involved with this problem.
I would run it for lets say 2 hours ,then drain the injector pump and look at the oil , feel it smell it and see if there is a lot of diesel in the oil just so you know that it might take more servicing than the book requires. I have a 204 dong feng and it also leaks diesel into the injector pump oil housing resivour. I look at it about every 25 hours of running time. But let me say this diesel in the injector pump is better than a dry one.
yeah when I read it I did not catch he was talking about the fuel shut off on the injector pump I read it as he used the one on the fuel tank. my mistake.
well you have to remember how much fuel is held in the fuel filters and associated hoses that would need be used up before it starved out.
I believe the suggested method for shutting down a run away diesel is to somehow plug off the air intake . If it has a intake screen in the air cleaner that will keep a rag from getting sucked into the engine that is all it takes. I have heard of people using a wood board also.
