A friend of mine bought a property and in the barn is a massey ferguson 1462.
I took the task of trying to get this machine to start as I’m failing miserably so I figured I’ll ask for some help.
It’s cranking but just won’t turn over. I bought the user manual, and from what I’m reading I’m doing everything correct. I mean, maybe not. The user manual does have different diagrams than the tractor. For example, the clutch is on the left side on the book but it’s on the left on the tractor. Also, the tractor has a teeter tottor type brake, vs just a single pedal on the tractor.
It’s about 30 degrees out. It’s been sitting for close to 4 years. I have everything in neutral. Bled gas line at fuel filter and pump. I believe I have the other handles in the correct position that the book tells me to have it in. All dash lights work. Glow plug position does make a “sound near the engine”. I do hear the fuel pump clicking.
Questions I have:
I’m wondering at what age does fuel go bad?
Is this model a diesel? Or how can I tell?
Does it have a sensor on the seat for weight to start it?
Does ANYONE have this model tractor that can show me photos of the correct placement of the handles for it to start? That would be amazing! Bonus points for a video. I can’t find ANY for this model on YouTube.
Any tips for things to check? Trying to make a check list and mark each thing off as I go.
The battery ended up dying, so maybe it just needs to be cranked more than I was able to do?
Also, I want to check the spark plugs but not sure where to start to get the glo plugs out. I’ll have to google that, but just having a hard time finding info on this model.
