Hello, I have a lead on one of these vibratory trenchers. It needs some engine work. I was wondering if anyone knew how to find out what type of engine this would have in it. I am basically trying to find out what the engine would cost to replace worst case. Thanks.
Don't know what it would cost to replace, but I'm thinking those machines used a Deutz FL1011F.
from what I was told it needs an injector pump. do they go bad? could they harm the engine if they go bad?
I don't know who's been telling you what you've been told, but the FL1011F doesn't have an "injection pump", each cylinder has it's own injection pump operated by the cam. I know that sounds weird, but that's how they are. The biggest worry of the 1011 series engines is they use a notched timing belt to drive the cam shaft. If the belt goes south, bad things happen, such as bent valve pushrods.
thanks for the info.
