the banjo fitting at the lift pump might have a screen in it, and that is a good place to put your temp. fuel line. I have put the compression sleeve of the fittings on a grinder went thru it and then used standard hose clamps on the nipple. This can only be done before pump all gravity.
sometimes the valve turn offs are backwards from how you would think they would work. use regulated air(around 5 psi or so) to blow out the valve it could be that the valve has a internal blockage. You can leave the banjo bolt ,hose clamp at the fuel filter loose the let out air to help purge and get it flowing. Email deprivett@yahoo.com
I do not know specifically about that model tractor , but mostly from what I have seen between the seat and the shift controls over the transmission. There should be a access fill point plug some have a dipstick onto the plug . You need to find out if it is a common sump system( no 90 wt. all hydro oil) or a divided system (hydro oil for lifts, power steering and 90 wt. oil for trans.).
I see now(dummy) that this is a 284 tractor , I assume it has dry brakes . Does this tractor use a band brake or a shoe?
Bob could a small enough hole be drilled in the plug as a easy visual aid to tell if oil was present?
One thing is that they(DA BUGS) must have some water to survive so keep the fuel water free. I would suggest any bulk fuel tank and the tractor be under cover and I am not suggesting a tarp. A roof.
if you can get some regulated compressed air to the tractor take the fuel cap NOT completely off and put about 5 psi in the tube that goes to the fuel tank . Take it easy not to much . of course make sure the fuel valve is open, but be ready to turn it off when air starts to free up the blockage on the screen in the tank. when freed up put a hose on the fuel source and drain into can . let fuel settle and look at it for trash and water . Also a remote fuel tank could be put on the tractor temp. to get it to run to a better location to work on ,if needed . and either pump the tank dry or use air to get the fuel flowing and drain the tank that way. check fuel for water and junk again , remove valve from tank clean screen and flush tank. replace any filters or screens that are questionable. good filters are your friend.
this is a guess but the fuse will be real close to popping . I guess you could just wire it to one see how many amps it pulls then times three and add a few amps for cushion .
It depends on the tractor I have a foton that the tach is with the hour meter , my dong feng has the hour meter separate because it has no tach. but to the glow plugs, they have a copper bar that goes between the three of them . Take it off use a ohm meter one lead to the block and the other to the glow plug post , you should read only a few ohms of resistance . if you can not get a reading it is open, replace it. You can also use a hand held ammeter and the battery, if you want a description of how to do that just ask.
