I checked the glow plugs, and they’re all showing about 1 ohm on the meter. The decompression lever on the valve cover was up a bit, so I was hopeful there, but I tried to start her after I pushed it all the way down and nothing seems to have changed. I didn’t pull the injectors all the way...

It does have a decompression knob, but it was disconnected at some point. Do you know what it was supposed to connect to, or how to check if it got engaged somehow?

Thanks Dave. I haven’t owned the tractor for very long... I bought a piece of property and it was left behind by the previous owner. He said that it had a bad head gasket and the engine was seized. I’m not sure how or why he came to the head gasket diagnosis, but it turned out to be...

I know there are several threads on this, but I haven’t had any luck with the advice on those. My B7100 just cranks and cranks... it doesn’t even seem like it’s trying to fire. I changed the fuel filter, and bled the air out of the system. It’s getting fuel to all 3 injectors, so I’m not...

I figured it out. It was Hydrolocked as you guys expected. She shot a plume of water of the middle cylinder. I put the injectors back in, bled the fuel system, and got it running for the first time this evening. It sounds pretty good, and seems to drive just fine, so I’m really pleased that...

And you said it's a B8100, Boo Boo??? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtiWk5V_Jo4 Damn... I did say B8100. It was the end of a very long day when I made that video. I’ll pull injectors and report back as soon as I can.

I think it spent a lot of its life outdoors, but it’s been indoors for the last several months that I’ve had it.

I have a B7100 that I’m trying to get running. It was turning over last time I messed with it, but wouldn’t fire. Now, it just goes part of a revolution, and acts like it get stuck. The battery is good, and the starter checked out okay. When I had the starter off, I was able to rotate the...
