Q&A

Why is rebuilding the injection pump important?

The injection pump is responsible for delivering fuel to the engine, so if it's not functioning properly, the engine won't run.

How do glow plugs work?

Glow plugs are heating elements that help ignite the diesel fuel in the cylinder, especially during cold starts.

Why is the air cleaner inspection important?

The air cleaner prevents dust and debris from entering the engine, which can cause damage and affect performance.

What is the purpose of adjusting the timing?

Proper timing ensures that the fuel is injected into the cylinder at the correct moment for optimal combustion and engine performance.

What are the key steps in the restoration process?

The restoration process involves disassembling, cleaning, repairing or replacing components, and reassembling the tractor to restore it to working condition.
