523Dxi Injection pump removal/replacement

Recommended Posts

WVHillbilly520H

I'm finally getting around to pulling the diesel engine out of the Dxi to replace the injection pump, no small task but doable, hopefully all goes well and I be part of the oil burning xi crowd :D, here's as far as I've gotten in the last few weeks, as well as having the injectors rebuilt I have a new replacement pump ready to go in as well as most of the gaskets I had gotten late last summer from Matt @bowextreme , the radiator, fan shroud ,and engine mounts were the hardest part of the disassemble process so far, Jeff.

Thanks for the photos. It definitely is shoehorned in to the chassis. Was it easier to start with the radiator than lifting the engine out first? I know that the one radiator connection is really buried.

The radiator came out first because I couldn't get to the fan bolts for the shroud and it was pretty much stuck to the radiator ,I took all the side mounting brackets off the dash and frame hold the radiator,Jeff.

Jeff, I am really glad to see you are digging into this. I would have loved to have it, but you are much more suited to doing this work right than I would have been!

Thanks Brandon from the man who just converted over to laptop tuned EFI, and here's a bit more hadn't been touched in 6 months cold (45°) cranking compression nearly 400 psi, now if I can remember where all the bolts go,lol,Jeff.

Update, I finally got an engine stand plate fabbed up and bolted to the block then up in the stand,  decided to pull the oil pan first just to see how things look in there...first I find sludge then it's got a gray/silver metallic look to it that didn't show up in the drained oil, next I pull a main and rod cap...I'm now kinda hear broken the bearings are shot spun in the caps and scored the crank, my $800 + parts is now turning into more money than I'm willing to invest...:(:wacko::deadhorse:So no Dxi for me but I'm guessing I'll just part it out now, Jeff.

Bought this 523Dxi as a NONRUNNER with 282 hrs because P.O. lost the oil pan drain plug while running then took it to the dealer where upon replacing drain plug and oil wouldn't start back up and run, then a fool (me) and his money soon parted ($800) for an "easy" fix like replacing the injection pump, so oil wasn't contaminated as much as missing..:no::ranting:  ...

I have one of each off in the last picture, the small cap and bearing separated and the bigger one is a main cap,  according to the Briggs repair manual I can only go. 010" under on the journals and if you look closely the rod journal is scored past that as well as the cap as the bearings spun inside them, the main journal is scored as well just not as much...new "complete" engine is $4200 to the door used ones I've found $2500 and "complete" rebuild kits are nearly $1500 plus machining,  sometimes you buy cheap and come out good, other times it just doesn't make financial sense (in my case) to go any farther as I have $800 in the tractor/deck $1400 in a parts package and rebuilt injectors, then another $1500 plus just parts to rebuild, $4k could be a healthy down payment on a sub compact 4x4, Jeff.

Ouch. I feel your pain. We've all had times where we wish we could back up and do a few things over again. I responded to your message. I may have a few parts, if you would decide to fix it, and I could deliver to VA next month.

      Hey all. I have a Electro 12 with a factory belly blade. It runs* and drives. I had used it to grade my driveway the last 6 yrs. Having moved I'm looking at my options on storing it or selling it. Frankly I have no idea what it is worth. I watched "ISaveTractors" video on 5 things to do with a new to you wheel horse/12hp kohler. (When i got it 6yrs ago) And went thru and did the adjustments and replaced the parts mentioned. It has been a good strong tractor for me until around July of this year. (2023)
      *Around July it started dying after running 20-30min. I replaced the carb (Chinese Amazon purchase) with one from isavetractors web site. That seemed to help it idle smoother(the old carbs jets wouldnt adjust), but it still dies at around 20-30min.
      So I've got 2 questions. 
      1. What is it worth? (As-Is) and
      2. What do I need to do to fix it? 
      Thanks yall!

      Hello all. I am looking for suggestions on adapting the pto from my C series tractor to a harbor freight predator 420 13hp engine. I know the predator motors are a controversial topic however it is the route I have chosen for this particular machine. The intent was to mostly use it for plowing so no PTO required but it would be handy to have. Looking to hear from someone that has successfully done the swap that may offer any advice before I attempt to transfer it over. Just looking for any general pointers that will help me along the way to make it go as smoothly as possible.

      Experts - help please. I’m new to Wheel Horse Tractor life! 
       
      So - I’ve pulled out an inherited tractor and have decided to resurrect her. Unfortunately, no spark :/ 
       
      I’m looking for help on diagnosing no spark. 
       
      model - 417-8 
      engine - Kohler KT17
       
      Done thus far:  (aware that some have no implication on spark.) 
       
      - new ignition switch 
      - new battery 
      - new starter
      - new ignition coil and wires w/ plugs 
      - new condenser 
      - new points 
      - new starter solenoid 
      - bypassed all switches except oil and seat. 

      notes:

      idiot lights removed. 
       
      All fuses tested with Ohms as well as visual inspection  .. 
       
      coil tested w/ ohms as well
       
      all switches bypassed except: 
      -oil switch  ( don’t think it has any implications other than a visual indication for idiot lights. ) 
      -seat switch 
       
      ran a pos from batt direct to pos of coil - nothing; no spark. 
       
       
      Electric is as follows:  
       
      - Starter switch wired to solenoid
      - - solenoid to starter 
      - - solenoid to batt
       
      - one wire from starter switch goes to engine ( I think this is for batt charge / flywheel) 
       
      - I have two yellow wires, which are married up, that go to engine which have constant power; They power coil.  Comes from switch and seat. 

       
       
       
      Help - what the heck am I missing ?
