Massey Ferguson 5455 t3 not starting any advice

[G Adams]

So i have a 62 plate 5455 been running fine just been struggling to start once stopped weather its hot or cold, untill sunday morning when it called time and won t fire up. Have put the pc to it and no faults coming up all we have as a problem at the moment is the hand priming pump isn t working so have a new one on order and are going to change the filters just as a start. Question is what else can i check to sort this issue, at the moment when you turn the ignition key on i m not hearing the the click from the injector pump but am told if there s no preasure in the line there s a sensor that will cut that off also. help!

do you hear the fuel pump running?

I remember the stop solenoid on pump failed on our matbro , new one cost £15 if that's any help

You won't hear a click on a tier 3 tractor and there is no electric fuel pump to listen for

Carry out everything you are going to do but also check that the fuel line coming from the tank isn't blocked.
Check no fuses have blown too.

If it still doesn't start it could be a faulty high pressure pump or bad injectors
