- Deutz Alliz 5215
Hello all, I need some help. I am working on my deutz Allis 5215 with the 3cyl 18hp diesel engine. It is time for winter service, and I started this project with pulling the waterpump (as it had died) and then I had planned to set the valve lash as I have about 1900 hours (second owner) on this tractor. Well this made me discover that the valve springs were weak ( I could compress them with my fingers and moderate effort). This lead me to pulling the head. It went off to the machine shop and I am having issues sourcing parts. Southern Global Tractor appears too have the valves and the valve seals, I cannot find the valve springs anywhere. And of course the valve guides (for the exhaust) are out of spec and need replaced also. I think my machine shop can make their own valve guides but the springs are the issue. Can anyone point me in the direction of perhaps another brand of tractor that used the same springs or pretty darn close springs? I am at a loss. Thankyou!
