I have a manual for the K3B engine, if you message me your email I'll try sending it to you.

Interesting as my 3 cylinder iseki tx2160 has the 18 set up. K3B engine

Your one is the lower on that page, filter 18 or 18a, I am going to guess possibly the other is for the hydrostatic tractor, my parts list covers both types of tractor, mine is iseki 2140,2160 plus hydrostatic,

Thats not it, thats the high pressure side, suppling your 3 point linkage, check out the end of the larger diameter pipe, approx 20-25mm OD, below the leaver for either high and low or 4 wheel drive in your photo attached forwards and down.

Be carful when removing the strainer, thats where the damage could occur from memory, its a tight fit, you are correct with your findings, 2 drain plugs in the axles and the Hex drain plug, I removed the gear oil and added hydraulic oil to my back end as I have a loaded fitted, just a thought if...

Strange there are no dots on the timing gears, my TX 2160 had them,

Well done good job,

Your correct Marcel, just one bolt holding that cover on, if the frame of your loader is restricting room, thats not so good, you need to get that cover slid back, as its the only way to get the shaft removed, with no obstructions it is tricky, if your loader is in the way it could be very...

If your getting black smoke your getting fuel, if you have good compression it should start, have you tampered with anything else.

Hi Marcel, I think I mentioned earlier this would be one of the worst jobs of your clutch change, the cover is just tight, rubber seal, yes cut the wire and knock the pin out, I am trying to remember if I cut boths ends and slid the other end on a bit but cant remember, but by time I am thinking...

Do you have a filter bowl, start there, there are screws on the side or top of it, then the fuel pump, where the pipe connects, then at the injectors with someone cranking the engine over, ensure hand throttle is open, Good luck. Chris

No I have not, I opened them briefly yesterday but never gave them an in depth look.

The engine numbers are beside the injection pump, they are covered in paint and need a rub with emery paper or a wire brush to reveal them, I thought I had a photo when I pulled my engines apart but after searching through my photos I unfortunately cant see it, I have put an arrow on my picture...

I can also confirm the engine is K3B fitted in my TX2160,DSC02562 by chrismac2012, on Flickr DSC02577 by chrismac2012, on Flickr

You have made a good start, good luck with everything your planning. Chris
