Fiat Tractor 55-60 60-90 79-90 80-90 90-90 100-90 tractor factory workshop manual download

- Safety first
- Work outdoors or in a well-ventilated area; diesel fuel vapors can accumulate and are flammable.
- Wear safety glasses, chemical-resistant gloves, and old clothes.
- Have a fire extinguisher rated for flammable liquids nearby.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable to avoid accidental cranking or sparks.
- Keep rags and an approved fuel container and drip pan ready for spills; clean up fuel immediately.

- Tools you need (detailed descriptions and how to use each)
- Combination wrench set (metric and SAE): open-end and box-end wrenches. Use the box-end for stubborn bolts (grips more sides) and the open end when space is limited. Match size to bolt head to avoid rounding off.
- Socket set with ratchet and extensions (metric sockets): faster and more secure than wrenches for removing pump mounting bolts. Use an extension to reach recessed bolts; keep sockets on the ratchet and pull, don’t jerk.
- Fuel-line (flare) wrenches / line wrenches: shaped to grip more of the fuel line nut to prevent rounding. Use these to disconnect metal fuel lines at the pump inlet/outlet.
- Screwdrivers (flat and Phillips): for hose clamps and small screws. Use correct blade size to avoid stripping heads.
- Pliers (slip-joint and long-nose): for hose clamps and pulling small parts. Long-nose for reaching into tight spots.
- Hose clamp pliers or flat-nose pliers: to compress and remove spring-type hose clamps safely.
- Drain pan / fuel-safe container: to catch drained fuel and avoid spills. Use a container rated for fuel storage.
- Shop rags and absorbent pads: for wiping up spills and cleaning gasket surfaces.
- Gasket scraper or plastic scraper: to remove the old gasket material from the mounting face. Use carefully to avoid gouging surfaces.
- Torque wrench (recommended): to tighten pump mounting bolts to manufacturer spec. Prevents over- or under-tightening which can leak or warp the pump flange.
- Threadlocker (medium strength) and anti-seize (optional): threadlocker only if manual specifies for any bolts; anti-seize on bolts exposed to corrosion if recommended. Do not block oil or fuel passages.
- New gasket sealant or non-hardening gasket maker (only if manual says): many pumps use a paper gasket—avoid sealant unless required.
- Bench vise (optional): useful if you need to secure the pump or banjo fitting when removing stubborn bolts.
- Multimeter or test lamp (optional): to verify battery disconnected and to test electrical fuel pump (if tractor has electric lift pump).
- Hand primer/bleeder pump (optional but useful): to prime fuel system after installation if tractor does not self-prime well.

- Extra tools you might need and why
- Injector/line spanner set or special Fiat fuel-tool (model-specific): some tractors use special fittings that standard tools can round; these specialty tools prevent damage.
- Impact driver (for stuck bolts): helps free corroded bolts—use carefully to avoid breaking studs.
- Service manual for your exact model (strongly recommended): gives pump location, torque specs, pump orientation, pushrod details and any model-specific steps. Important to avoid mistakes.
- Small mirror and flashlight: to see bolts and hose routing in tight engine bays.

- Parts to replace and why
- Replacement mechanical fuel pump assembly (specific to your model): diaphragms wear or rupture over time; a failed diaphragm means no suction and fuel starvation. Replace the whole pump unless you are skilled and an exact rebuild kit is available.
- Mounting gasket (always replace): prevents leaks between pump and engine block; old gaskets compress and leak.
- Fuel line washers/banjo washers (if applicable): crush washers on banjo bolts should be replaced to prevent leaks.
- Fuel inlet/outlet hoses (if cracked or stiff): rubber hoses degrade with age — replace to avoid leaks and vacuum loss.
- Inline fuel filter or primary filter element (recommended to replace): ensures contaminated fuel didn’t damage the new pump and prevents clogging.
- Pump pushrod or linkage parts (inspect; replace if worn): some pumps have a pushrod driven off the cam; a worn or bent pushrod will prevent correct pump operation.
- Seals/O-rings (if your model uses them): replace any O-rings to avoid leaks.

- Prep and diagnosis before removal
- Confirm diagnosis: check for fuel at carburetor/injector feed when cranking (use a clear hose on the pump inlet). If no fuel suction, pump likely bad.
- Note hose routing and take photos before removal so you can reinstall correctly.
- Place drain pan under pump and disconnect inlet hose first (to reduce pressure on outlet). Loosen fittings with a line wrench.
- Cap or plug hoses immediately after removal to keep dirt out.

- Replacement procedure (general, model variations exist)
- Relieve any fuel system pressure and catch fuel in the drain pan; keep rags handy.
- Remove any components blocking access to the pump (air filters, shrouds, brackets) using socket/wrench or screwdriver.
- Label hoses with tape if needed and carefully disconnect fuel inlet and outlet lines with a line wrench; plug or cap hoses/ports.
- Remove pump-to-engine bolts with a socket or wrench. Support the pump with your hand as the last bolt comes loose so it doesn’t fall.
- Carefully pull the pump away from the block. Note the pushrod location; mark how the pushrod engages the pump lever.
- Inspect the pushrod and lever for wear or damage. If pushrod is bent or worn, replace or have it checked against specifications.
- Clean the mounting surface on the block with a gasket scraper and wipe with solvent—do not let debris fall into the engine.
- Compare old pump to new pump: check flange, inlet/outlet positions, and pushrod length/attachment. Ensure the replacement is the correct part for your model.
- Install new gasket (dry or with specified sealant per manual). Fit the new pump onto the pushrod carefully so the rod engages the pump lever. Ensure correct orientation.
- Hand-start bolts to avoid cross-threading; tighten evenly in a criss-cross pattern if there are multiple bolts. Finish to the torque specified in your service manual. If you don’t have the manual, tighten snugly but do not over-torque — overtightening can warp the pump or strip threads.
- Reconnect fuel lines using new washers if applicable. Use line wrenches to avoid rounding fittings. Replace any hose clamps with new ones if old ones are weak.
- Replace fuel filter element and any fuel hoses replaced.
- Reconnect battery negative cable.

- Priming and testing
- Prime the fuel system: if the pump is mechanical it will prime when you turn the engine over; you may need to crank several times. If you have an inline primer or hand primer, use it per instructions until fuel flows and air is expelled.
- Inspect all connections for leaks with engine off. Wipe joints and check for wetness.
- Start the engine and let it run at idle. Watch for leaks and abnormal noises from the pump (squealing, grinding). A new pump should not hiss or rattle excessively.
- Re-check hose clamps and bolts after the engine has run and warmed slightly.

- Common problems and troubleshooting after replacement
- No fuel after install: check that the pushrod is seated and not missing; ensure inlet screen isn’t clogged; verify fuel flows from tank (tank vent, clogged lines).
- Leaks: tighten fittings, replace crush washers, replace gasket if improperly seated.
- Pump noisy or weak: ensure pump drive is correct and pushrod is correct length; failed replacement part or internal valve issue—replace pump.

- Disposal and cleanup
- Store spilled fuel in an approved container and dispose of rags and old fuel per local hazardous-waste rules.
- Return tools and clean work area. Dispose of old filters and gasket materials responsibly.

- Quick parts list to bring to the parts counter (bring old pump or photo)
- Fuel pump assembly (model-specific)
- Mounting gasket
- Banjo/line crush washers (if applicable)
- Fuel hoses and hose clamps (if old ones are brittle)
- Inline fuel filter or primary filter element
- Optional: pushrod (if damaged), sealant as manual specifies

- Final notes
- These tractors share similar mechanical fuel pumps, but exact pump orientation, pushrod design and torque specs vary by year/model—use the service manual for final torque and model-specific details.
- If uncertain about fitting or pushrod engagement, stop and consult a reputable tractor mechanic rather than forcing parts; incorrect installation can damage the pump or engine.
