IH 384 - Trying to get it cranked again....

I have a IH 384 tractor with the BD 154 diesel motor. Apparently last weekend when we were out working on the tractor (changing the oil and other fluids) , someone closed the fuel supply valve under the gas tank. Today, when I cranked the tractor and let it run for a few minutes (10 minutes or so) it suddenly went dead. I tried to recrank it until the battery was just about discharged and then I discovered that the valve under the fuel tank had been shut off. I think that it completely run the fuel out of the engine. Now, when I reopened the fuel valve and tried to recrank it with the little of battery that I still have, I still can't get it cranked. While I have the battery charger on the battery, I am trying to decide what I should do. Should I use some starting fluid to try and get it to fire off, or should I just try to recrank it by letting the motor turn over when the battery is fully charged? Thanks for any help.

Hi, there should be a lever on the fuel pump that you pump by hand. The fuel pump is located on the right side of the engine.

Steps to bleed a BD154:

1)Loosen bleed screw on primary fuel filter and pump hand pump until fuel flows out the bleed srcew WITHOUT AIR BUBBLES. Tighten this bleed screw.
2)If your tractor has a secondary fuel filter perform the same procedure.
3)IF you have a CAV injection pump there should be two bleed screws on it. Locate the one towards the front of the engine, loosen, pump hand pump until no air bubbles, tighten and repeat for the bleed screw at the rear of the injectoin pump.

4)Apply glow plugs and attempt to start tractor.
If tractor does not start within 2 minutes then you will have to loosen an injector line. Normally you only have to loosen 1 injector line at the rear of the injector pump.

5)Attempt to start again. If it dosen't start this time loosen another injector line.

Retighten injector lines after tractor has started.

BE CAREFUL WITH HIGH PRESSURE DIESEL FUEL COMING FROM THE INJECTOR LINES. IT CAN PENETRATE YOUR SKIN AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.

Good luck
JB
