MF 2685 cold start

MF 2685 tractor cold start. This was during manure spreading in the fall so I didn't want to drive to my yard to get it plugged in.

[@bonnanders]

I LOVE IT! Have a straight piped MF 2720 with sharpened turbo and fuel pump myself. Wonderful music to my ears! Greetings from Sweden!

Nice Massey Ferguson, love the 6 cylinder engine.

[@PawNic14]

[@petarmiletic997]

R.I.P. Starter

[@colmanlong1032]

Jesus she was slow enough starting,was thinking of buying one,that just changed my mind tanx

[@jimarcher7665]

The starter was so hot it heated up the engine LOL

[@db1490dave]

great sound, would that be the perkins 6354 engine in that?

[@MFV8]

4.5" stainless straight pipe. 130 engine hp. MF 2685 was known as MF 3525 in N-America.

[@ilukilu82]

i have 2685 and in -25c no problem for cold start...

[@MFV8]

@fnh8340 It is usually kept in the yard so it can be plugged in, this was exceptional because it had to be left to field overnight. I will probably install Thermostart plug to it anyway.

[@MFV8]

That annoying rattling noise (heard at 1:00) came from a spacer ring between turbo and exhaust elbow. Got that cured now.

I have a few of these terrible starting perkins and i have a good one, talked to a friend that runs a machine shop, cause i have a late 236 in a skid steer that is a horrible starter, no blow by at all just won't start, exaust runs clean once it goes. he told me that there was a period where perkins built standardized engines for any application, with low compression so they were turbo compatible. the hard starters seem to be from the 80's

[@crisp2882]

@MFV8 It will start better with that in and also it will not put a big strain on the battery

[@auaiao9]

@EFSforkliftguy I'd like to see a few vids of your hard starters.

[@hambon2k10]

put a pop plug in it its killing me hearing that wind away poor thing

[@JsixstringS]

@MFV8 im going to have to put one on my MF3650 check out the videos i posted of it.

[@mileboscanin9787]

That's not bad cold start

[@florianfrech2494]

that is a bad cold start

[@JsixstringS]

Thats an awesome sound what size muffler is that on it and how many HP

[@MFV8]

@db1490dave Yes, AT6.354.4 to be exact.

[@dannytreanor4288]

we have mf 699 and its like that every day

[@john.p7370]

These tractors are very good only the feulpump are not good.

[@ericfrerichs7149]

You have to do a general inspection to the engine - imediatly !!!

[@MFV8]

Why?

[@ericfrerichs7149]

Because it takes an absolutely to long time, that the engine begins it's run, clear, smooth and save, belive me !!

[@ericfrerichs7149]

*believe*

[@ericfrerichs7149]

Maximum 2 Seconds is the time, and than the engine has to run round 👍👍

[@MFV8]

@@ericfrerichs7149 well this engine is in good condition. Reason for hard cold start is high timing advance and lack of excess fuel device and timing retard feature. After this video I have changed the Cav injection pump to Bosch VE pump and now it starts instantly.

[@MFV8]

@bonnanders Thanks! What was done to your fuel pump?

[@moroten12345]

how cold was it?????

[@EXTREME4YEARSTOCOME]

Cant bate a good Massey

[@raul16nyc]

what battery do you have on it?

[@MFV8]

It has two 70 amp batteries, some cheap unknown brand.

[@farmtech4449]

I hated perkins engines hard starting and no power.

[@john.p7370]

These engines are very good but the feulpump are not!

[@maxtrekkers14]

Je moet hem niet beteken starten

[@willyford]

Those cav pumps on this ones are absolute rubbish shit things They simply do explode while testing etc Bad starters
