so.. like i said.. overfuel and burned a piston then?

Nah, you said....fuel pump went out. It didn't, it was working perfectly, it was set for the wrong type of load. But the end result did burn a piston... The motor had about 20 hours on it.

so how did the fuel pump going out whipe out the engine? overfuel / lube thinned out?

IMHO.. I wouldn't own anything that could only be ran intermittalntly.. I believe that was a bad design.

When i had originally posted that question, your message was quite vauge as to what actually 'happened' concerning the fuel pump, causing the engine to blow. I 'guessed' a bad fuel pump that overfueled and damaged the piston.

kinda splitting hairs on your part about it not being a bad fuel pump.. it _was_ after all.. a fuel pump issue.. right??? ( and that includes miscalibration, wrong duty cycle .. etc.. )

To me it's obviously an Owner issue for not ensuring the people operating and maintaining the equipment were properly trained on the equipment they were using!

Then again it may be the Seller of said equipment is at fault for not insuring the new owner was familiar with the proper operating and maintenance procedures required for the new equipment!

We have had great luck with our air cooled tractors.. Lots of power, worked them hard and had no problems. We have five tractors with a total of 43000 hours between them.. Thats right 43000 hours and never touched a motor

That sure is impressive.:thumbsup:

Might be a Deutz F6L913 in the DX160. Looks like a 6cyl and the diaphragm on the back of the fuel pump was something I believe the turbo model had. Also looks like the oil cooler right behind that.

Depending on the year model that is, not sure if the F6L913 is still made due to emmissions.

The were Zetors made in Poland.

Zetor had the lead in this project, some Ursus engineers went to Czechia for 4 years, because Ursus would build the powersteering unit (notorious for leaking) and the rear axle (notorious for being assembled with the wrong gear lash: Dealers would correct that upon delivery) The front axle was made at Universal tractor works in Rumania, and Povaszke Strojarne in Slovak built the main gearbox. The first compartment of the transmission is Zetor made, as well as the engines. In 1981 the entire production of this range was moved to ZTS Martin, Slovakia to a producer of tanks (T-72 license) engines (French Pielstick license) and loaders (Hanomag license). Because neither ZTS nor Ursus didnt have R&D experience, they didnt change the basic concept for nearly 30 years untill they were lagging so far behind that both manufacturers are (near) bankrupt. To grab a share of the ever increasing popularity of the 75-105 hp market, Zetor introduced the UR3 range as a mid series in 1991, which development was accelerated after the fall of communism, because they were no longer bound to plan economy that separated the market, under 80hp in Brno, 80-160hp in Martin. There are some UR2 models built in Poland because the facilities are still there, but they can barely break even, so they will extinct eventually.

The biggest difference between the original UR2 Ursus and Zetor, apart from the colour, was that the Zetor doors swung forward, and the Ursus had door hinges at the back of the door. (I prefer the Polish door style though)

913 air cooled is now sold as 914 series in certain markets. The stroke (roughly 13 cm) has remained the same even though the last two numbers of the type have changed: They already have a 1013 series so they had to move away from the traditional numbering system.

Did the DX160 have the 913 or the 514 engine ? The DX230 had a masive 413 or 514 for sure

The dx160 have a Bf6913 motor with turbo
