[QUOTE="K9, post: 63495, member: 7773"] Good news: Out of frustration and forced admission of defeat, I took the machine to its second diesel mechanic. Be assured I took it to another shop than my previous selection and it went much better this time. After telling him everything I had done, and how I did it, he decided to take the timing gear cover off and verify everything was okay in there. I never had it off and would never had suspected something was wrong in there. As it turned out, the idler gear was off 5 teeth and the "A" "B" "C" marks were not lined up. As soon as that was corrected, the machine started without making a full revolution of the cooling fan. As shared before, when I bought it, it was as is and the previous owner tod me he had it running until the fuel solenoid made a burning smell and was shut down and never breathed again. It is apparent that I should not have placed so much faith in salesman character. At least it is burning diesel fuel again. Time to make up for lost time. Thanks to all for the advice and counseling.
