Is it something that someone mechanically inclined can do? Also can I limp it home or should I use a tow bar and attempt it with my bobbed deuce? The 5 ton has the 16.00 (53) tires. It's about 8 miles from my shop
I have a video I can text or e-mail to someone that think they can identify the problem. It runs perfect, revs up fine but the fluid is leaking to severe to even consider to drive. I would like to get it home as soon as possible.
My brother recently purchased a 5 ton, and the previous owner said last time he started it oil or fuel started coming out of the weep hole on the injector pump and that's all he knows. I've had it running today and recorded a video but not sure how to post it. It is under pressure and is a...
Got the alluminum and hex stock at work today, I'll record what I come up with and if anyone else is interested pm me and I'll give ya what I come up with material and dimensions.
UPDATE: finally tracked down injection pump installed today. After priming the fuel system it started right up thank all of you that helped!!! But unfourtanetly the brake light sensor on the air pack bursted and I lost brakes luckily I was still at the house. Just ordered one so hopefully soon I...
No the full power screw which is worse in a way but gives me a reason to get a 5 ton pump and look at the inside of my old one, there's a guy who can rebuild mine for $500-$600 so hopefully I can find a 5 ton just as much, but gonna be highly upset if it don't fix it
The hard lines that go into the injectors is like a low psi deffinately no more than 20-30 psi (rough guess) deffinately not enought to open the injectors. When I took the hydraulic head apart the piston wasn't tight it just kinda dropped in and moved freely and would fall out on its own but had...
Cranking or just the pump on is around 5 psi, I got fuel out of the lines but it's like little streams come out of the end, could the thickness of the veggie oil compared to the diesel be the problem like its just leaking back into the IP instead of building pressure.
I disconnected all injection lines to injectors one at a time to check for fuel and all but the first one was easy. Couldn't break the seal on the first injection line so I pulled the injector and disassembled just the top part where the return is and not a drop of diesel just some veggie oil...
Put it all back together, got fuel to injectors finally but still won't start, a guy I bought it from said to try and find a IP out of a 5 Ton anybody that has the info I need to track one down, part number, model number, engine it would come off??? Any help would be greatly appreciated spent...
Took the hydraulic head off tonight hoping something was wrong but everything looked okay so I'm letting everything sit in diesel over night, anybody know if that piston is supposed to move up and down when it's off the pump?
Just checked it this morning and moves freely and stays at the 7 o clock position. Also the guy who had it said he turned up the pump to compensate the different fuel. Is there such a thing as too far for it to run on diesel? And it ran and drove on veggie oil the same day I switched it over to...
Keith, I currently can't get fuel to injectors and there is air bubbles in the clear return lines on the injectors, when I open the bleeder on top of the filters fuel comes out at steady stream but at low psi. I have the part number off the aftermarket pump but can't find any details on it...
