'63 John Deere 1010 Diesel - Injection Pump

crkeesey · Aug 7, 2016

Hello everyone. Any guidance appreciated.

I am near the end of a restoration of a '63 JD 1010 Diesel. Ran great before I tore it down to paint. Just reassembled and am unable to get fuel to the injector lines. I verified that I have fuel flow from the tank, fuel to the filter bowl, fuel into the injector pump intake line, I can see the injector pump spins when I take the little timing cover plate off of the front of the pump and there is fuel flowing from there when the cover is off. After that, I get nothing flowing out of the #1 fuel line from the pump and obviously nothing then through the line to the cylinder. What can I check next?

How does that pump shut down? Lever? Solenoid? Look that area over, see if something is stuck in the shut down position.

JD 1010 diesel IP has manual fuel shutoff. My guess is fuel metering valve is stuck closed.

Depending on how long it set from running last, could be one or several parts stuck inside. Like the mentioned metering valve, rotor plungers, delivery valve, regulating valve stuck are what I see most..

Do you have the timing tool for that engine? It times different from other J D engines, if its
done wrong you will get a rough running engine, and possible no fuel, then you will have
to pull the pan and oil pump and retime it.

Thanks everyone. Part stuck inside the pump is what I was afraid of. Have heard that sometimes a light tap with a hammer can free this, but no dice. Still nothign flowing from the pump. I don't have the timing tool but sense that I am going to need to find one and a lesson in properly timing a Stanadyne fuel pump. :-(

The pump timing marks are under the two screw cover on the pump housing side, remove the cover and gasket, and turn the engine by hand until the marks align. Remove the pump. I usually pull the battery ground strap so no one turns the engine while the pump is removed, makes going back together easier. Have a similar pump off an IH 460 now for the same trouble.

Can you please post a photo of this unique timing tool for engine of a JD 1010? I don't remember this too you mention. Yes JD 300 series engines require a special timing tool to time engine frt gears.

Tx Jim, sorry no pic,its a T shaped tool that fits into the oil pump drive slot. Iirc, you bring
the engine to tdc on # 1 power stroke, place the oil pump close to meshing with the
cam,put the tool in the drive with the marked end pointing to either # 3 or 4 cylinder(can
't remember) slid the oil pump in place, then the fuel pump timed for # 1, btdt with a
1010 wheel ag and a 1010 industral crawler.

Thanks for reply but I still can't remember that tool. Oh well I guess "too much water" has run under the bridge since the 80's.

The ag dealer I worked for at the time had a tool board about 2ft square that had maybe 5
tools on that were relative to that tractor series, and I think he got for JD. The tractor
would run if you timed it the normal way, but started hard and ran like a haunted
outhouse with the firing order out of wack .
That was back in '67-8, forgot about the timing thing when I did the crawler loader, for
some reason its started fairly well and ran not to badly but no power, had to drop the belly
pan out on the job site to correct the problem,that was in the early 70's
