[AT] 560 D

[Darrell Ratliff]

Tyler,
    If I were you I would talk with a local diesel mechanic concerning the injectors and pump.  He can tell you what is involved.  It is essential to bleed the air out of the system any time you work on the fuel supply components.  There are procedures in the manual for bleeding the system after filter changes etc.
    The glow plugs will sometimes burn out so a continuity check should give you some idea of whether they are functional.  As I recall, it takes about 45 – 60 seconds of pre-heat with the glow plugs before attempting a start.
    You can test the starter as you stated.  The 560 was a pretty decent tractor.  I believe the early ones had a drive train problem but I think it was corrected.  I don’t remember ever having a problem with ours.

Hi Darrell,
I've never worked on a Desel engine before.
What would I use to clean the injecters and glow plugs?
Also, would I just hit the starting switch to see if the starter is working?
My father owns a 560 g, so I am assuming that the starting sound of a
560 d sounds the same?
My great grandfather has been gone for about 26 years, so I'm sure
this will take a lot of time and Money to get running again.
I've never worked on a farmal, so I want to make sure I know what to do.
Thanks,
Tyler
