Might also ask how old tactor was at the time if warranty did pay. Is Kioti only covering those with broken gear while in warranty time frame or are they assisting if warranty has expired?

My tractor was 2-3 years old and still under warranty. 2nd one...6 years and they dont care!!!!!! Had to get pump out of a Bobcat CT225 which is same machine as mine.

Did Kioti fixed this for newer models (2009 and beyond) or we just haven't seen them break yet as are not old enough (hours used)? Do the injection pump failures happen on all models such as the DK40/DK45/DK50?
I know I'm not suppose to respond until my issue is resolved. It looks like I have IP trouble too. I'll comment on that later. My main point here is someone mentioned this being covered possibly by the EPA's warrenty... Here is a document from their site... http://www.epa.gov/oms/consumer/warr95fs.txt
It sounds like injection systems are warrentied for two years. The factory warrenty does that. There are some items listed for 8 years but not the IP from what I see. Also, there is no reference to tractors. I'll call today if I can and post findings.

I'm guessing this was a bad batch of IP gears that had metalurgy or hardening problems. The failure reports I've seen seem to be about the 2006 time frame for engines with the new-style stop solenoid (bolted to front of engine vs connected to manual shutoff linkage on right side). But that's part of the reason I'm trying to collect some data on this costly repair.
I know for a fact (see sherrym posts) that this can effect the 4-cylinder engines (that's when I started paying attention). I suspect the plunger assemblies in all these IPs are all same regardless of the number of engine cylinders.

Scott, I suppose it's not official yet until it's repaired but it's obviously looking like my IP is bad. With that said it rules out use on the tractor as I have 39 hours. That should answer the other guys question. Also, my tractor was delivered to the dealer in 2005 and sold to the customer in 2008. I plan on documenting everything and placing it in the thread you have on collecting data. I'll make sure my post about my trouble is included for future references as well.

Good thought but I have the year built and the year of failure so I almost have that information now. Considering that the data I get is often incomplete anyway, I thing I'll leave the spreadsheet as is for now. Thanks.
