Re: identify the tractor type

Hi Emiel, You have me at a disadvantage, I am not a professional tractor user so, I have no idea about nh dealer. There is only one diesel dealer in Swansea and I would not go near Shorts of Swanse, they charge you for advice instead of repair. South Wales seems to be short of information of supply....

Re: identify the tractor type

Thanks for the answer, hopefully not caused a problem. Fitted the pump to tractor but not attempted anything further. Pump was already aligned to timing Mark's by Wellham. Did not know where to find timing on tractor nor what /how to proceed. Does this mean have to remove pump from tractor? :cry:

Re: identify the tractor type

Pump delivered today, cannot believe the condition, I would say as good as NEW. The work carried out by WELLHAM DIESEL. The service and help tremendous and cost I think very reasonable (shame about VAT) Now for setting timing, have not got a clue nor any sort of manual for a guide. :beer:

Re: identify the tractor type

Hi,
Company I have sent the pump to is Welham Diesel Injection Co Ltd of Leicester, they assured me that they can/will sort out the pump. Hopefully it has by now been picked up by courier.
Cannot believe the local company supposed to be a diesel expert. Would not buy an AA battery off them in future.

Re: identify the tractor type

Hello both, Having thought to have the pump rectified local by a supposed electric/diesel specialist going by the name of shorts of Swansea, I was told this morning that they could not find the parts to rectify the problem with the pump and I should collect from them.

Re: identify the tractor type

Both,
Are the pumps interchangeable?
Mine is a Simms SPE4A75S646 there is another available part No SPE4A70SR80 and another SPE4A75SS527. Both around £390.

Re: identify the tractor type

Have taken the pump to a dealer in Swansea, they are going to examine and let me know if they can get any parts, they reckon that Simms are (OLD) a good pump but parts can be problematic. As for sheeting ,it has been trussed up with my boat looking like Xmas presents. First time for cover off since ...

Re: identify the tractor type

Hi both, It would seem that a further problem is that there was a considerable layer of gunge in fuel tank. Have drained the tank and washed out the muck (most of it). Now the job of bleeding system, the lift pump is working very slowly. Would it be ok to raise the compression lever and prime system...

Re: identify the tractor type

Both, I have emeried both ends of shaft and removed the both ends - governor and stop /go end. The shaft has slight up and down movement at both ends so there should be free side to side movement, there is movement, but a lot of force needed when using fingers alone. Would this be due to the "tangs"...
