Greetings,
I am looking for a little confirmation here on what I have going on with my old MF 265 (S/N 9A228205, Perkins Diesel).
A few weeks ago, she started randomly not wanting to start. Trying the tractor again in a couple hours and she'd start. I wasn't sure of what the exact issue is/was however when it wouldn't start, there wasn't any smoke coming from the stack. This told me it was likely a fuel issue so I started with the obvious things first:
The question: Is it likely that I have a bad injector pump here?
The part number on the pump is 3241F360 and I called around and shops want $700+ to rebuild it. I see on the store here that I can get one for about $850. Wondering if I should just buy a new one.
When I do replace this (assuming I will, depending on the feedback here), do I need to time it or will it slide right into place? The manuals states that timing is not disturbed by removal and installation of the injection pump; is this only true when removing and reinstalling the existing pump? Or is it true when installing a new pump as well?
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer here.

This told me it was likely a fuel issue so I started with the obvious things first:
- Fuel filter replaced
- Fuel lift pump replaced
- Bleed everything up to the injector pump.
