We were given the chance to check out and possibly buy this backhoe but it’s safe to say we’re probably going to go through with the deal! Like and subscribe for more content!
Did you guys check the fuel filter and drain out any condensate? The white smoke CA be indicative of engine coolant getting in either via head gasket or fuel but see if you still get the white smoke when you dont use the ether to start it. Id say your injector pump is working. These 3 cyl Ford diesels are great engines, hard to kill them. I have a 4500 and a 3500.
It had no coolant in it, but filter was changed out after we got it home, I rebuilt the injection pump because it wouldn’t idle or even stay running even after we cracked the injection lines there was no pressure coming to them but rebuilt the pump slapped it back together and ran like a champ didn’t realize till we put a gallon of water in it freeze plugs were pushed out, still ended up selling for $3500 tho
Hey I just bought a house and I worked in a diesel 71 ford 3500 industrial back hoe into the deal that was on the property. It was running last year from what the guy said but I'm having a hard time getting it running. I don't know much about diesel's. It will try and turn over and got it to run a few seconds on starting fluid but that's it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The woman we bought the tractor from it was her late husbands car she didn’t say if she was going to sell it or not he past away recently so she’s kind of picking up the pieces right now but if she decides to sell it I’ll let you know!
