The response post from Darren Todd to John146 on June 17, 2014 said "you will see a rod running the length of the pump with springs at both ends. I opened my fuel pump inspection cover and see no rod running the length of the pump. I see the ends of the lever fork, one appears to have wear mark on end. Did I loose this rod somehow? Now what? Also I tried to loosen nuts on the injectors to check fuel flow to injector, they are seized. I am soaking them with liquid wrench now. The price I pay for 45 years of not turning those nuts. Suggestions appreciated.
My L245DT will not start, checked through the Posts, found post on looking in Inspection Cover helpful

I have no idea what you suspect is missing but I doubt that could just fall out.
Go here and look under the engine section for the injection pump diagram for what is in the injection pump.

And explain what “my L245DT won’t start” means in more detail. I think you means that it spins but won’t fire off and run since you seem to be asking about the fuel side of the engine.
See if any fuel is running to the injection pump by loosening the air vent valve on the pump. Some should be coming out. But I would suspect that the tank has rusted inside and is clogged somewhere (outlet, filter, lines). So in general see where you have fuel running to or not by taking fuel lines off and seeing the flow volume.
I also suspect that it has recently gotten cold in your area and your fuel may not be winter blend and is gelling??
Tell us more of what recent history and what troubles are now occurring and you will get more information back.

Thanks for your reply. Yes the engine turns over, usually have some white smoke out of the exhaust, not now though. A little history, tractor did run and start well prior to this problem. Yes I did bleed the fuel line at the filter and fuel pump, volume of flow might be issue though. Seems fuel came out in more volume in the past. I'll try draining fuel tank and lines watching for fouling.I have no idea what you suspect is missing but I doubt that could just fall out.

the part I was referring to was a rod supposedly visible after removing the inspection panel on the fuel pump. It was referred to in a post by Darren Todd, long term member of this forum, he said it should move back and forth and have springs at both ends, it is on the fuel side of the pump in the speed control group of my engine schematics. It moves with the throttle levers. I see no movement of any part, in that inspection port, when moving the throttle levers. Thanks again for your suggestions. OH not cold enough for gelling problems yet. It will have to wait till after Thanksgiving.

Go to this thread, page 31, post 612 and there are some pictures that are looking through the inspection cover on a L295. The parts are NOT assembled properly so don’t think that yours is incorrect if it looks different than the pictures! (Ignore most all of that thread since it seems there was a lot of chain jerking going on)

"hoping" ???? I have never considered "hoping" to be a strategy for success! That's the best I can offer. Even if I could make the trip to help him, I don't know as much about engine rebuilding as he does.
