question 10145 injector pump oil level

[mbw1741]

I apologize if this topic has already been covered, but if so I couldn't find it. I'm getting ready to go back together with the injector pump that was frozen and wanted to confirm the oil level. See photo. I see the oil fill and oil drain plugs, but for the life of me can't find where the oil level is checked. I've found where people have talked about a plug you remove to check the level, but I don't see that anywhere.

Also, if anyone knows where I can find parts to the Motorpal injector directly from the manufacturer, I would appreciate contact info. Google has failed me in this endeavor. There is a local Zetor dealer but I hesitate to contact them if I can keep from it. I've had issues getting parts in a timely manner and costs seem much higher to what I can find online for other items.

Any help would be appreciated!

pump that was frozen

I'm guessing you mean seized, not frozen as in ice from cold temperatures. You are using an Americanisms again.

but for the life of me can't find where the oil level is checked

On your 10145, the injector pump is oiled by the engine. You don't have an oil level in it to check. I sell new Zetor parts, but as far as injector pump, I would bring them to a diesel fitter shop to get a trained professional to look at them. I have some old pump here that are scrapped. That's the pipe in red I drew is feeding your pump oil from the engine.

Good to know; thanks. The oil fill and drain plug through me off. When I drained it only diesel came out; no oil. I’ll make sure that line is clear.

guessing you mean seized

Yes another dadgum Texan colloquialism. We’ll get it straight one day.

can't find where the oil level

If you had an older tractor, they did need oil level checked but not these newer models.

Things do get frozen in this country, like water pipes in winter. But the sun thaws them out.
