6060 Filters

Welcome.

The first "parts" I suggest you get are the service and operator's manuals for it. With those you can get familiar with the systems and maintenance. You can get the OEM manuals at the AGCOpubs website. Here is a link to it. AGCOpubs

That site will give you the right publication number to look for, if you don't want to purchase there. A note on service or technical manuals, if it says "packet" you get the pages to put in your own binder, "assembly" would be already put together in a binder. A packet is usually less expensive.

You will see, and can purchase, a parts book as well on that site or you can use the AGCO Parts Books on line for free. Here is that link. AGCO Parts Books.



Beware of some of the aftermarket reprints (many OEM manuals are reprints now for past tractors and equipment, but usually a decent quality). Some of the aftermarket ones are poor print, photo, and diagram quality due to scanning processes. Some of the vendors on this site may have manuals they can vouch for quality wise. Personal opinion is the I&T manuals are not the manuals you need to start with, often incomplete in details, but can provide some backup info sometimes. Used OEM manuals on eBay can be good buys at times.

I would not start buying parts without assessing things first. Does it even turn over or is the engine stuck from setting? If it was parked for lack of fuel to the injectors the injection pump could be bad. After setting for "quite sometime" the injection pump may be stuck now as well. Be careful even turning it over as if the pump has stuck, it could be damaged more if turned. injpumpED may weigh in on your pump and injectors. Others will be along with more info for you.

If it's been sitting a long time, the fuel may have gummed up the pump and injectors. I see this all the time. It may appear to be pumping fuel up to the injectors, but my bet is the shut off inside pump is stuck, or pumping plungers are stuck, so the only fuel you see is just from the internal transfer pump, not the actual injection event. Injection systems aren't really designed to be user serviced without some experience. Most do-it-your-self-er cause more problems than they saved lol! Welcome to the forum, and the AC world. That should be a fantastic tractor!

Thanks!  I also sent you a private message.  

Yea, I saw the pm, just figured I'd answer here to cover it. Guessing something happened to the pump long ago which is why it was parked. I'd certainly not do any fluids or filters until I got it running, unless the fluids are nasty looking. I'd focus my thoughts on getting the pump off and properly serviced, probably injectors too, since it's been sitting. 

We got a good guy on this site that goes by tbran.   Look him up he’ll take care of you.  He’s from your part of the world.  

Agree on taking the fitting off the bottom of the fuel tank and draining all old fuel. Make sure the rubber line going to the fuel filter isn’t restricted. Agco still has this fuel line if needed but the fitting on the bottom of the tank is notorious for blocking or restricting the flow of fuel. Especially on a tractor that has been sitting THIS is where I would start. Once you have good flow to the filter and you are replacing the fuel filter there are 2 plastic bleeder valves that you slightly unscrew to bleed air out of the system. One on the filter base and one on the injection pump itself. But start at the tank. Good luck! Edit: the bleeder valves are how a 6080 is setup, I am assuming a 6060 is the same. I could be wrong

I cannot tell you all how much I appreciate your time and advice. I going to take each of your recommendations.

So far, I’ve ordered an alternator, water pump and fan belt. I still need to order a fuel filter, oil filter, had filter and air filter.

I will hold off on the injectors and pump until we start at the tank and work our way from there toward the injectors. My reason for ordering parts before I even see the tractor is because I don’t want any delays once work begins. I was in the fighter plane biz in the Marine Corps and the worst thing was waiting on parts to fix planes.

I’ll keep everyone posted and post some photos. I’m really looking fwd to being reunited with this tractor.

Quick question: is there an in-line fuel filter on my tractor as well as a spin type? If so, what size is that in-line? I found and have ordered the spin on fuel filter.

Thanks again!

Thank you very much for this info!
