[AT] Case diesel

[john hall]

If I don't get fuel at the injectors next time I plan on starting with the 
filter. The owner changed it, bled the filter, and then called me when it 
wouldn't crank. He said yesterday he would pick up another filter as he had 
trouble installing that one. The supply gong into the pump doesn't seem 
quite as strong as I think it should be. I wish he had cranked the tractor 
before he began servicing it. After sitting for 6 months who knows what may 
have gone wrong. I'm also going to double check the fuel shut-off on pump 
and make sure it is working properly. The cable going to the dash is not 
exactly set-up the way the folks at Case intended it to. It appears to be 
working the pump correctly, but a closer look won't hurt.

 I'm starting to think a lot more fondly of all the Deere diesels I grew up 
with. We practically never had any trouble with them other than having to 
change the nylon connectors on the fuel lines.
