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

Hi, do you have the same loader fitted, what issue do you have, hydraulics not performing as they should? have you seen my restoration thread, that might help show what I did to mine.

I hope you find it easy to do, I found the 4 wheel drive shaft was up there as about one of the most fiddly (awkward) parts to remove, once you remove all the bits that are attached to the rear, oil pipes, cables, hoses, the engine will lift out of the frame its bolted too, it will be tight, and...

Hi Marcel, is there a load coming on the engine and stalling it or does it just drop the rev's, Hope you are well. Chris

I also had gear oil in my back end until got my loader fitted, the hydraulic oil now in it has been fine since.

If you can upload a picture, it might help get an answer.

Hi Marcel, I bit late with my reply, good to see your still using your tractors DSC02642 by chrismac2012, on Flickr I pulled mine apart and got the nozzles replaced, they need set up with shims to pop at the correct pressure, I dont think they guy who did mine made a very good job of setting...

I think I replied to this on facebook, would that be correct

https://www.agrister.com/compare/tractors/iseki-tx1500/iseki-tx1510 have a read, gross 1500kg unbraked if the information can be considered as correct, where they got that info I have no idea, mind you depending on your terrain "if its on its gone" as the saying goes. obviously if your in about...

Having had an issue with an oily black residue coming out the exhaust since day one, I decided now was the time for further investigation, compression test for starters, to my delight it was as per factory guidelines, Untitled by chrismac2012, on Flickr next stop valve guides, not able to get...

Hi Steve, the forward shaft for the 4wd will be your biggest wrestling match, as for the frame we have, I would be tempted to just remove the bolts which attach to the engine block and jack it open a little to allow the engine to slide out the front as in a conventional clutch change just...

Hi Steve, you have a few options there all being well, so your not needing any info from the K3B engine now by the looks of things. Good luck with your dumper. Chris

I have spare engine sitting on the garage floor with flywheel, obviously you engine is still fitted, why are you planning a change of engine? my engine is a K3B. Chris

Thanks Marcel for taking the time to get a photo, thats the same as mine

Does the TX 1510 not have a clear pipe fitted on the tank beside the throttle to view the level like the TX 2160?

Ah your probably correct, I got the valve back but did not fit it again, the old one did not leak after cleaning up the pitted chrome slides, its only a matter of time though, I will fit it again at some point and if its still like that I will return it as it was hopeless and pretty unusable to...

Well done you have sussed it, I had a guess that would be the way is was piped in, T returning back to the rear of the triangular block, all you need to do now is have a think about your next step, whats the fittings underneath the spool valve for? the ones you can see in the last photo. Chris

Thats strange as you would think it would have been working when who ever did it put it together, so with your current set up you are dead heading the pump as there is nowhere for the oil to go? until a leaver is operated, you would know as there will be load on the tractor, any valve with HPCO...

Hi, I see your having hydraulic issues, the 2 ports on top of your hydraulic block under the seat need to be plumbed in completing a feed loop if that makes sense, you maybe have seen that on my post, this then goes on and feeds the 3 point linkage, the centre port which is currently blocked on...

My loader hydraulics is fed from the same feed which is used for the 3 point linkage, I have not noticed any differences yet, arms are off at the moment and are usually up, what loader do you have on yours, they are great bits of kit and very handy, If you want to private message me your...

Hi George, good to hear from you and glad that axle was of use in the end, you'll see the backhoe I was heading to Liverpool to collect when we dropped that off to you, the replacement bonnet is from a TX 2140 the tractor is a TX2160, although there is no difference apart from engine as all the...

I am fine thanks, I come on now and again just to see whats new, see if any old friends are sending out a SOS :ROFLMAO:, Now I understand your issues, your excavator was basically stopping your engine from turning when the starter was engaged, glad you worked out the fix, your a PRO!! well done...

Hi Marcel, I see your having some issues, I am interested to see if you have the solution, its is very strange your engine stopped after 20 seconds, this also would lead me to think it was not a starter issue, the reason being is the starter serves one purpose, to spin the engine to get it...

I have had the valve collected and returned to the supplier, it was tested and operated as expected on the test bench unfortunately they never tested it replicating the load on the ram, only extending rams out both ports on the spool valve, next is to try it again as they thought/blamed me...

Thanks for taking the time to explain, its much appreciated, it was them I got all my hoses from, they were a good price thats for sure, I have sent the email with both videos tonight so I will see if they have a change of thought after seeing the comparison when they manage to view them...

That was great find, I think the original is a vapormatic, unfortunately spares no longer exist, that valve is fine its just the spool I need, such a pity, Your are correct with your stab at the new spool manufacturer!! I might keep looking and see what turns up on ebay, they have a sectional...

All valves apparently are bench tested before being sent out, there is a relief valve on the new spool, I did think about adjusting it but I'll leave it as it is for now, the old spools are fitted back on the tractor, worst case they can take it back as it is not doing what it should. The...

Thanks, its looking fine now, So after a good number of emails to the supplier of the spool valve, I am no further on, they are blaming the old spool unused under the seat the hoses are passing through and they are also blaming the quick release couplings used in the detachable lines. Here is...

Thanks for your reply, thats makes sense, if only I had know that before buying this one, it was a shame the supplier did not make me aware of this before I made the purchase, I will see what they say and advise. I will be interested to see if they have a replacement, if not I will just live...

Having been plagued with hydraulic oil leaks from the loader spool valves due to corrosion and pitting to the spool internals, having tried many hydraulic engineers to find replacement parts but I was unable to source anything, I bit the bullet and bought a replacement double monoblock spool...

So I ended up gambling on the seals ending in 400, they happen to be £30 each rather than £130 both plus vat totals would have been £80 or £300 plus, the size given was incorrect and the OD is 88mm, I got the new seal in, it was very tight on the shoulder where the old seal sat against and...

Well you never gave that much of a chance but as you have said you have others to look after so this was just too much for you to do, I also found I had little replies but when I did some were along the lines of, these are bullet proof and no one has attempted to do what your are going to do as...

So as with most things iseki there are 2 types of oil seal!! thankfully after some discussions I have worked out which ones are fitted to mine, Part number of the 2 sets of seals Untitled by chrismac2012, on Flickr Physical sizes of the seals, Untitled by chrismac2012, on Flickr This...

try searching here for manuals, someone posted a link in this section for manuals for every iseki listed, looks not to bad from the outside what a shame water got in, tell me about it though I went through just about everything your about to do on my TX 2160, Keep us posted and good luck...

So today I made a start on a job I was afraid to tackle before I had done all the work to the tractor, I was not sure if spares were available or what like a task it would be, changing the axle oil seals, it turned out to be no a bad job to strip the axle down, couple of hours and one side was...

I bought my hose from an online company flowfit, while I do like to support local, the savings were huge. might be worth a look,

A random thought does the steering column move? would it be a lever for adjusting that.

Some work has been going on over these last few months on the tractor, I got the old brass plates and gave them a clean up fixing them on with the correct hammer in rivets that they were fitted with originally, I think it finishes it of quite nicely, DSC02882 by chrismac2012, on Flickr...

All, I wonder if someone could let me know what hydraulic pto pump I need for my 15 hp iseki tx 2160 with polymark beaver backhoe and (front loader which is driven from the tractor hydraulics) I need to ask as there was none on my tractor. if I knew what pressure and flow rate I need I could...

Marcel ,here is a few pages out the manual if its of help for testing the starter, if you do carry out this test, in the first just bridge the 2 positive connections and the starter should operate like you did with your friend,

Hi, I hope I am correct but here is the drain plug, page 81 on my manual Drain plug on the lower side of the gearbox. Hope this works.

I have searched the internet and am beat as I can not get my 3 point linkage primed or operating, the pump is pumping as when I slackened the pressure side at the banjo I had an exceptional mess of oil but I can not get it through to lift the arms, the tractor is under load as I can here it on...

Having made a replacement gasket out of a hard gasket material while I have been sorting out my tractor, I now have a small leak from the sump gasket, would cork be a better alternative to the gasket material used previously? or what would be a good option, the original was a soft type material...

My 2160 had 2 linkages with the original arrangement, possibly for the hand and foot throttle, I have now got a replacement battery tray and it came supplied with just the one but I see the foot throttle does have some movement with this arrangement, is this standard possibly on later models...

I am currently in the restoration process of a iseki tractor which had a spool valve fitted but was missing some of the pipework running to it, it would be good to get some assistance with which ports tie into the manifold and spool valve, Please see the post below from the restoration thread...

I am in the process of rebuilding my 2160 and tonight have come up with a small battle with the lower spline to the front diff, is there an easy way to get this back in place, I have wrestled with both halfs of the tractor for a while tonight but had to go and leave it so I thought this would...

How do I edit a thread, I have been looking now for half an hour with no joy, I deleted some pictures from my flickr account but it was some I had used, I would now like to edit the thread. Chris

Hi, can someone please advise me on the PTO pump I need for my Beaver Backhoe, the pump is missing so I am looking at a replacement along with the spool valve block/chest, I would like to get a spool valve block/chest of 6 and pump with the correct LPM, I have been looking at these...

Replacement Polymark Beaver Backhoe PTO pump and spool valves, moved to Hyd. section Please delete, I could not find how to and have moved the post to correct section. Thanks Chris

I have come to the conclusion it will be best and easiest to keep all my questions regarding my project in the one place in this thread of my restoration of my TX2160 tractor, with a 2nd tractor for spares. If this is in the wrong place please moderators please place in the correct part of the...

All, I have a TX2160, I have stripped the engine and are in the process seeing what parts I require, I need a set of injector pipes for a start as the nuts have corroded badly to the point they are nearly missing on the pump side, I would like to find the torque setting for the conrods, I have...

Hi all, I have just joined after buying a Iseki 2160 with back hoe and front loader which came with a second tractor for spare parts, I have lots of nights of hard work infront of me as everything is in a sorry state, its been lying for many years out in the elements which has not been kind to...
