Hello, everyone! I have owned my 1970 M35A2C since 1999. I have been blessed with not many repairs, just alternator and water pump. Now my fuel injector is leaking on top of the shut-off lever housing. Reading everything here and watching the various videos out there, there is much info about the actual work on the fuel injector, but little info on how to do it in the engine compartment. Looking at the clearances, it appears to me that removing the cab heater assembly would give me a more direct shot at the task. It appears that I can unbolt the shelf assembly from the frame, disconnect the air vent hoses, disconnect the heater fan motor wire, and then lift the assembly out and rest it on top of the engine without disconnecting the water hoses. I would rest it on a piece of plywood to avoid damage to anything. Does this sound competent to those of you more experienced at wrenching than I am?
Is there any tips you can give me before I tackle this job? I know about aligning the tooth once the side cover and the fuel shutoff shaft is removed. Do I bump the starter button to move the gear into alignment? If I do this before I disconnect the fuel lines, it seems there would be no messy consequences. Is it OK to align the gear after I remove the fuel shutoff shaft? I mean, that will not misalign the installation of that shaft with the tiny pin on the front of it?
I just finished replacing the radiator and replacing the o-rings in the CAV fuel injector cover on my Massey Ferguson tractor, so I do have a fair amount of recent wrenching experience. Thank you in advance for your advice.
