Primer fuel pump

eorna · 2014-11-06 18:52:38

Was servicing massey ferguson 575 and the primer fuel pump seems to be gone in it.. . Is there any way to start tractor without it?? I presume the primer is essential to fill the fuel filter and bleed the line but asking just in case

You can use a vacuum brake bleeder to draw up the fuel and get it started, but replacing the rubber membrane/lift pump might be less hassle in the long run.
