The tank on the F2400 is mounted high, the bottom of it is a little higher than the injector pump from memory. There is a cam driven pump immediately before the injection pump, I may not be technically correct in calling it a lift pump I'm not sure, but either way it seemed to be working ok to...

I don't know what the tank on the ZD236 is like but i had a similar issue on my old F2400. I changed the filters, treated for algae, cleaned out the tank, blew out the lines, tested the lift pump etc, and nothing helped. What i think might be going on is when the fuel level gets below a certain...

I've got a similar problem going on with my F2400. The clutch doesn't want to disengage. I don't think its stuck, it happened all of a sudden. It was working fine, (well, as fine as anything works on a 40 odd year old machine that's had multiple 'farmer fixes' with whatever was lying around over...
