FT-60 Diesel in my oil pan.

I checked my oil and it was full to the top of the dip stick tube with diesel fuel. What could cause this?

Fuel injector pump is leaking were it is bolted to the engine. This is were the pump is timed with engine Much like the disrbutor in a car

Do I need to replace the Pump? Or is there a seal or gasket that needs to be replaced?

The pump is leaking internaly .To buy one is very expensive most peaple have then rebuilt .this is some thing you dont want to do yourself No I dont have a manual I had dtc545 but I sold it

I just bought this tractor. So far it seems as though parts are only available on the net. How hard is it to find someone who can rebuild this pump?

FT is still being produced in India, but are no longer being imported to USA.So most of the dealers either went out of busines or changed brands. parts are getting scarce at old FT dealers. I had lots of big problems with mine,two blown head gaskets,hydralics quit working etc I bought it new for 20k and sold it two years later for 13k and was happy to see it leave.. Take your injector pump to a large tractor shop .most will work on any brand or will be able to get you in touch with someone who does.

Okay, thanks. If I am looking at the correct part, the injector pump costs $1500.00. Rebuild seems the best option providing it is not to expensive. I bought the tractor with 3150 hours on it. So far I think this is the only major problem.

 

[miniracer26]

I got an estimate for $560.00 to rebuild.

I sent it to Test Calibration in Moblie AL for an inspection and estimate to fix. I will post their findings asap.

if it has a lift pump in the fuel system that is where i would have checked first and i would still change it if it has one
