Branson Injector Pump

   / Branson Injector Pump #11  
2011 Branson 3120R. Approx 1700 hrs. Having issues with reaching "PTO RPM's". Fuel filter is clean; lift pump (aftermarket) putting out 6+ p.s.i. Started having issues trying to get tractor to full power. Tractor actually "ran away" twice despite it being a non-turbo (wasn't familiar with this phenomenon when it happened. All I could think of to do was nudge it into a nearby tree to stall it when neither throttle nor key had any effect . . .) Only thing I haven't yet done is a cylinder compression check. Have disassembled, cleaned and then checked injectors (unseating at approx 2300 psi if I'm remembering correctly.) Inj. Pump is a Doosan (Doowan?) which I have come to learn is a Korean knock-off of a Zexel (Japanese) which is a licensed copy of a Bosch VE type pump. Have learned from speaking with shops specializing in rebuilding these pumps that tech data/specs for these Doosan/Doowan's are about impossible to find; thus, it's a shot in the dark for them to find parts, Test Bench specs, etc. Anyone had similar experiences, and what did you do to solve this problem (I'm aware I can buy a new one thru Branson but don't really want to fork out close to $2 grand until exhausting all other options.) Another thing that really frustrates me is there apparently is no set procedure for setting up the tractor's engine to remove the existing pump so that a replacement can be put back and all inside the engine will be in proper position. Youtube is full of vids for other brands of tractors/engines showing proper procedures for removing existing pumps. Not Branson - very hard to find much of anything for the DIY'er. This alone will probably keep me from buying another Branson. Thanks in advance for any help you might provide.

I’m wondering if the drive shaft and drive gear are keyed.??

Prior to removing old Inj. Pump I set #1 cylinder to TDC (making sure piston was coming up on 'Compression' stroke.) Removed fan, belt, entire gear cover (aka gear case. Careful, my downloaded from 'Net digital shop manual diagram only pictured a couple fasteners but there are 15 on the front of the cover alone; with an additional bolt coming in from the back in the corner by the Hydraulic Pumps.) Removed nut that held Inj Pump gear on the pump's shaft. Compared key way on new Inj. Pump to ensure it was in same 'clock' position as old pump (it was.) Removed old pump (12", 1/4" extension and 12mm socket allowed coming in from behind the Inj. Pump between it and the engine block to get at the pump's mounting bolt that is 1 of 3 and located on the back of the Gear Case between pump and eng block) and installed new one. 'Lost' RPM's/power are back!

Yes, pump shaft/gear are keyed so as long as you get engine timing right before removing old pump & gear and new pump comes with shaft clocked correctly the new pump should line up.

Landrun, see my reply from 10-7-25. Careful about that bolt coming in from the rear of the gear case near the Hyd Pumps (on a 2011 A1500 engine, anyway. Can't speak to the higher C.C. engines.) You will have to remove the Hyd Pumps to get the Gear Case Cover off (and again on this engine) probably the starter because everything is so crammed together, in order to get the Hyd Pumps off.
