Gotta admit that at 1000 rpm's it seems to run well. A puff of black smoke and an occasional wisp of white when first starting, but once warmed up I don't see either. Top end I could get it to 2700 rpm (though Owner's Manual advises 2600 max. Again, nothing on Idle Speed in there.) I know...

This might be a dumb question but does anyone know what the factory setting for Idle Speed is for these engines? I just replaced the Injector Pump on mine with a new unit from TYM and it idles out of the box at about 1000 rpm. That's probably pretty close (and I've read other brands...

ptsg: I did ensure a light coating of oil when reassembling. Reckon I could still try filling the pumps by removing one leg of the rubber "T" that feeds them (just not sure if the oil will run straight thru the pump to the outlet; but even with that as long as I start the engine soon after I...

Greetings. My post refers to a specific hydraulic pump - in my case a 2 pump Joyang F23 "stack" on a 2011 Branson 3120R - but I believe these pumps are used on many types of diesel equipment and my question I would think should be pertinent to many brands of pumps. So I recently replaced the...

Thanks, flyerdan. Your reply makes sense.

Greetings. Replacing the crankshaft oil seal located on the gear cover of a Kukje (Branson 3120R, 2011) A1500 engine. Anybody know if the seal should be driven only until outer surface is flush with the outside of the gear case (which leaves a gap on the inside of approx. 1/8" between inner...

Yeah, pump was at you-know-where on line. $40 for 2 (Mikuni, I believe they are.) Went up to see the dealer yesterday to first ask what all I am "permitted" to do on the mower without affecting the warranty (he said "pretty much anything you want". Bonus!) So then I described my steering...

So are you saying not all (Cub) dealers charge their customers for pick up/delivery? I generally tend to fix things myself but if something major occurs and it's still covered, it WILL go back to them for the work 'cause I've got plenty of other things to do (and I'll load it up on my dump...

As mentioned in an earlier post, we bought a Pro Z 560 S with the Kawasaki engine new in October of 2024. Overall a good, powerful mower though already in May the fuel pump crapped out and now we're detecting "sticky" turning (i.e. takes more effort to turn it now and we're hearing some...

Lou, my engine timing is "TDC 0.0 degrees" per the Emissions plate on the engine, so thinking those chart specs probably don't apply to my particular engine/pump. Didn't get much done last 2 days due to rain but plan to hit it again today. Thanks.

Hi LouNY. My new pump does have a Data tag attached but most of what was written on it is illegible (almost looks like it got wet at some point in transit and some of the info "ran".) There are 3 timing marks on the dampener identified as "1, 2 & 3". #1 corresponds nicely with TDC of the #1...

Hey thepumpguysc. Got the engine timed to TDC and Inj. Pump gear nut and lock washer off ok without dropping either into the 'abyss'. Used a battery powered impact. Got the new pump in, the gear, washer and nut installed, and timing mark on gear is aligned with that on the adjacent Idler...

Greetings. Wondering if anyone (LouNY, anybody?) could check their Shop Manual, Pg 2-151, and tell me if theirs states any particular number (e.g. .008", .030", whatever) to look for on the Dial Indicator once the plunger on the Inj./Pump stops moving (and Dial Indicator bezel is set to "0") as...

Hmmm. Found in my old stash of tractor related papers a diagram of a Fuel Injector with 2 separate Part Numbers: one is 105078-0000. Also listed (with the name Bosch between the 2 sets of numbers so it's not clear which set it refers to) is another p/n: 9 430 615 049. In doing a search of...

OK, got my VEVOR PS-400H NOZZLE (Fuel Injector) TESTER up and running again and tested the brand new Injectors I just purchased from my Branson dealer. As it turned out, 2 of the 3 are Branson's brand (p/n HK12020000A3) while the other is a TYM brand with the same p/n as the Branson except...

Saw a guy on youtube who welded a tap (as in Tap & Die) of a slightly larger diameter than the opening in the cup ('Course' thread would be OK) onto a metal rod of about 12" and fashioned a sort of slide hammer from it. To use he just threaded it a ways into the cup and pulled the cup out. As...

Didn't even know there is (was?) a 1400, K5Iwq. Will check though. Thanks, and wishing everyone a safe, enjoyable & MEMORABLE Memorial Day! Thank you & God Bless to all who sacrificed - especially those who paid the ultimate price!

LouNY: Probably why I got my Manual for so cheap! Couldn't see any numbers at the bottom of the page photo you provided, but mine has 'K25W-201406' at the bottom left hand corner if that might explain any Revisions. And yes, yours seems to be much closer in line with what I was able to see on...

Thanks for the input, thepumpguysc. Gave a lot of thought to pulling the head and the gear case cover (and find a Degree Wheel. . . ) as I'm sure that is the only way to positively know exact TDC on this indirect injection engine but have talked myself out of it after discovering I can see the...

ptsg: Asteral was good enough to dig into some resources he has and told me the A1500 was actually used from 2010 to 2012 on the 3120R's. Haven't been able to find anything myself on-line other than the engine was resurrected in 2018 and that the engine (at least the 2010-2012 vintage was...

On Pg 163 (Chapter 2) Section 6.6.2 INJECTOR of this service manual, it states " . . . ". . . Injection Pressure is adjusted to 230+/- 5 Kg/cm2". These pressures (assuming the 2 different Conversion Tables I found on-line are correct) equate to 3271 +/- 71 PSI !!! Someone please correct me if...

Thepumpguyssc: Haven't yet removed old pump as I'm trying to learn/know every detail necessary to ensure the new one lines up & is in proper time. New pump has a key slot on shaft so assumption is as long as I can remove nut from I.P. gear while somehow ensuring the gear doesn't move, then get...

Thank you, Torvy. Asteral Is a fountain of knowledge for sure. In another post I explained that I actually found a sticker on my engine partially obscured by the exhaust manifold that says my engine is actually a A1500N2 and not an A1700 of either type and even though another source (a Kukje...

Should also have asked in my previous post if anyone knows the interchangeability of 'Branson' Fuel Injectors with TYM's or other mfg's (mine have p/n HK12020000A3 on the bag. Original injectors have '78-0090' & 'F 7 L' stamped on them; ones I just bought have '78-0090' & 'D 2 E' stamped on...

And other than the slight displacement delta between the A15 & A17 I'm guessing there are probably many interchangeable parts but now that I know the score I can ask my dealer all that. Thanks again.

Excellent research Asteral, I really appreciate it!

OK, a mystery wrapped in a puzzle inside an enigma as they say: Bought a Branson 3120 new in 2011. (Been a very good tractor for my needs, btw.) Always thought I had the A1700N2 engine and the '20/25 Series Tractor Service Manual' put out by Branson Tractors (Pg 1-26, 7.2 MAJOR SPECS) that I...

OK, thanks. (Wish it were in "superb" condition.)

CloverKnollFarms: Would you mind being more specific? Exactly where and how does it show and if a compression test (albeit on a Harbor Freight but brand new tool) shows compression at more than satisfactory values and no leak down, the oil & coolant show no signs of contamination from other...

Good info, Asteral. Thanks. I got another one for you (gonna make a separate post for it but will give you first crack if you're interested): I have a '20/25 Series Tractor Service Manual' put out originally by Branson but since I bought it on-line I'm not sure just how complete it is but...

One thing I've realized after watching the TYM honcho's vids about the advantages of a strictly mechanical fuel system vs. the electronic fuel injected systems most if not all other mfg's have gone to is he makes a great case. Yes, an electronic system (assuming it and all related components...

Greetings, all. Putting this in the TYM slot because of them now owning Branson and I believe they still use Kukje engines with mechanical injectors. Question: is there or is there not a "cup" at the "head" end of an injector (in my case a A1700; 2011 vintage engine) that can/should be pried...

Thanks 5030, but wouldn't "blowby" be more an audible than a "visual" detection and are you saying excessive blowby can be present despite very good compression numbers? I agree 1700 hours are low on a diesel engine (especially for a 14 year old one) but my interest in the compression test...

Thanks, ptsg. You're probably right. Would be nice if the Factory Service Manuals (FSM) addressed the different iterations in detail but the one I have (which appears to be mostly from an "official" FSM but not sure its completeness) lists the N2 & N3 as if they are completely interchangeable...

Did a compression test yesterday on my 2011 Branson 3120R with the A1700 engine. LOWEST reading (#1 Cyl) was 465 psi! Thanks to this forum I learned the factory numbers were like 497 psi so WOW! Engine has approx. 1700 hours and is used not daily but regularly to brush hog, load round bales...

Thanks, t_bois1. I looked thru the section of the manual link you provided and have to agree: these manuals are sorely lacking in detail - even for the larger tractors/engines. T

Hello. Would anyone know if the slot for the Woodruff Key on a given Injector Pump (in my case a 2011 Branson 3120R A1500; made by Doowan) is always in the same "clock position" on the shaft so that when a new or rebuilt pump is installed the internal timing of the pump is correct as long as...

My apologies Astral for taking so long to acknowledge your response but other priorities have demanded my attention of late. Thank you. Mine is the A1700 (I thought 'N2' version but now not sure. Btw, would you happen to know the difference(s) in the N2 and N3?) I did manage to pick up a...

Greetings. Anyone out there who can explain the difference(s) in these engines? Thanks in advance.

Greetings, Thought while I was replacing the Injector Pump on my 2011 Branson 3120 with the (Kukje) Cummins A1700N2 engine I'd do a compression test on the cylinders. Question: does anyone know what that engine came from the factory with, compression numbers wise? Despite having a FSM...

1952 IH Cub 2011 Branson 3120R 2016 Case IH Farmall 50A

IMHO opinion DOGE has been a long time coming. Agree that appointing a new Dept. to address a runaway National Debt should not be necessary in a Constitution based Republic (NOT a "Democracy" [aka Mob Rule] as so many ignorant/disingenuous talking heads, celebrities, citizens and even...

Would suggest 2 things: 1. If we're only getting our 'news' from mainstream sources we might wanna listen/read some of the other (more) credible sources. 2. We've already seen - before Trump has even taken office again - how just the THREAT of tariffs has already spurred some action from...

Branson 3120 which I bought new in 2011. Has FEL. Bought a CASE IH Farmall 50A new in 2016. No FEL. Use the CASE for brush hogging 11 acres of pasture and several acres of pines; as well as pulling a 'Bush-N-Bog' (aka New Ground) disc set. Use the Branson for most other things including...

No. Mine looks more like the end of a portable radio antenna with knurling around the periphery (guess to grip the plastic jacket/ball better.) It's not a 'ball' per se, but the plastic jacket/case made it round like a ball (approx 1/2" diameter.) I've seen it on other loader brands and...

Mentioned this in a couple earlier posts about trying to find a decent digital Repair Manual for this tractor. For those experiencing a similar problem, I ultimately found a bad 'Engine Shutoff' relay located at the very front/left (above the battery) in the engine bay. BTW, does anyone know...

Thanks all for the suggestions. Though I was going to try a little 'Carolina rigging' and weld a Grade 8 bolt in place of the flimsy pot metal piece that held the 'ball' onto the cable end (would also need to fashion a ball since without the disintegrated plastic jacket the existing metal end...

The plastic 'jacket' that enfolds the metal ball on the end that fits into the joystick disintegrated when trying to get the bucket out of the 'float' mode. (Seems the shuttle in the Loader Valve had hung up for some reason and wouldn't retract.)

I have a 2011 vintage Branson 3120R and need a cable for my FEL. Branson (now TYM, I guess) doesn't see fit to provide just the cables; we "valued" customers must buy the whole enchilada (joystick ass'y) at almost $750.00!!! although they are currently unavailable (I'd part out this tractor...

Just received the digital manual(s) mentioned in my last post. If you're looking for an equivalent to a Factory Service Manual, don't waste your money.

OK, just located what looks like a good (digital) manual on eBay that applies to U.S. tractors. Will let you know if it's everything it claims to be.

Hey all. Trying to troubleshoot the dreaded 'engine cranks; momentary start; won't run' situation I'm having with my 2016 Farmall 50A. Filters are good. Battery charged. Fresh fuel. Thinking it might be the Fuel Shutoff Solenoid or the Fuel Shutoff Relay. There's a component on the front of...

Hey all. I own a 2011 Branson 3120R and a 2016 Case IH Farmall 50A. Both bought new. When running, they both do an admirable job. (Currently having problems with the Case starting then immediately cutting off. New fuel filters and have bled the system; fuel is fresh. Thinking (hoping) it...

Thanks, K51wq. Will contact him.

First, I paid more attention to the beeps and it's often more like 10 beeps; not 5. Thinking Hay Dude & Sawyer Rob are probably right - a stuck switch or something on the parking brake /shift levers but like I mentioned in the original, all of these are always in the correct position (E brake...

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...

My 2016 50A "beeps" for no apparent reason. Started several months ago. The ignition is not on; I can remove the key altogether yet it will still do so at random times. (Beeps approx 5 times then shuts down until later.) All controls, brakes, etc. are set as they should be when dismounting...

What MossRoad said. All I'd add is the 'main' tunnels he cited are often along cement walks, driveways, etc., and several secondary tunnels usually branch off of them. the secondary tunnels are only used a time or two by the mole, then abandoned. A guy who used to call himself The Mole Hunter...

Though I have no experience w/ cuckoo clocks, Richard (other than the one my mom had on the wall decades ago) I would suggest you thoroughly check out youtube. I tease my friends that I'm learning to be a brain surgeon by watching it, but in all honesty it is truly one of the greatest resources...

Thank you, Slim!

Thanks so much, K51wq !

Can anyone provide engine timing specs/procedures for a 3 cyl A1500 like what is on my 2011 Branson 3120 tractor in preparation for removing the Injector Pump? Many engines seem to have a 'plunger' specifically for this purpose, located on the engine block in the vicinity of the Injection Pump...

Can anyone provide engine timing specs/procedures for this engine in preparation for removing the Injector Pump? Many engines seem to have a plunger for this purpose; located on the engine block in the vicinity of the Injection Pump that engages the timing gears when the engine internals are in...
