Sounds like yoy need a new battery.

Have you got a picture.

Hi. I have 2 super majors that have simms minimac mechanically governed fuel pumps. Both look identical but one has a plate with p4630 on and the other has p4596 on.

Does anyone know what the difference is.

there are hundreds of differences both cosmetic and mechanical, too mant to list really

Emmark uk or agriline. Both are on line.

This can be true or they can crack around the o ring groove. Everyone is different but if it anit broke dont fix it.

put more fuel in. Rotary pumps need a decent head of fuel to get primed.

There will be a earth coming from battery to body of starter. A spade terminal going to solenoid on starter and all othere are lives that all go to the big terminal on solenoid.

Depends on how compitent you are. Not a bad job to replace the pump unit on the end or take it to a diesel fitter

if you do it carefully you can remove the three bolts that bolt gear to pump with out taking the gear out of mesh with the other gears and knocking the timing out. The pump should have a dowel in so it will only bolt to gear one way.

you need to remove the plate on the timing case and remove the timing gear.

Looks like a thames trader engine as used un the lorries. This is the engine ford used when they converted them back in the day.
Not that rare really but a nice tractor all the same

Best make a new one with a new bit of bar and screw cut both ends with new nuts. Will be far stronger than weld as it will have to lift possibly a 12 tonne trailer or more.

Selene used the roadless axle but made their own sandwich box ans were sold to the french and spanish etc . The light on these tractors were on the outside of the cowl. If its had a replacement block the serial number will start with an s.

looks like a diesel major selene conversion. Same axe as roadless but they used a different sandwich box.
Post the engine number and will be able to tell you the year.

Thats the problem.
When the shells are sat on the crank they sgould meet at the end and have no gap. This enables a though or two around the journal.

Either the shells are small or the crank is big.

How much of a gap do you have.

so what size does the crank measure compared to the bearings? Is the crank smaller?

Have you installed one cap at a time o see if you can narrow it down to one spot?

as already said if a cap is 180degrees out, it will sieze. Takes only a thou or two out of line to lock it up.

i stand to be corrected but if i were you i wouldnt. The last thing you want is the paint coming off and blocking your pump, proper paint or not

hi yes it is very possible and would mean that you would have only the one stick making it very easy to drive. Maybe when i have nothing to do on a rainy day, i may have a play

would they be off rice picking machines etc. like old potatoe picking machines they used a skid unit of a tractor to sit on top of the picking machine.

look in the hole you will see the cam shaft. the arm should sit on top of the cam.

no, these have about 20% with slight perishing on side walls.

sorry

I think i have a pair off an e27n. What condion are you after

I will be interested in your old arms if you are getting new ones.

Thanks i appreciate it.

Does anyone have any origonal examples anywhere in the world or are they all in uk
