If it's seaping out where the injector meets the head, the internal seals are bad. You would need to pull the injector apart to change that needed seal. My guess is it's not an O-ring, but a crush washer. An o-ring would never hold the pressure.

I've never had on of those injectors apart.

Sometimes it helps to tighten them up a bit

Thanks. I can get reman injectors for 50 bux each, I think that would be the smart way to go. Far as I know they have never been changed in 53 years.

I'm sure by now the pop off pressure is weak. Injectors like that are simple to work on. Basically all they are is a nozzle.

50 bucks a piece is cheap insurance though.

Earlier, it would be nice to know what pressure the injection pump offers after so many years and only then set the pressure in the injectors

I have a gas engine fuel pressure gauge, not sure if it would work for a diesel. This tractor still runs great, just don't like watching $4.00 a gallon fuel drip on the ground to say nothing about a fire hazard .

only oil pressure gauge will work

Unloading the tractor trailer so I can park both.
I know it is Sunday, but it had to be done.

Leaks drive my crazy! My tractor leaks oil. But the only way to fix it is to pull the engine. It can keep on leaking for now. lol

You would need a gauge that could read thousands of psi. I'm not sure what injection pump the 165 has, but, they can be in the 7,000 to 15,000 psi range.

Renault 80-14, the left/circled red warning light - is that oil filter issue?
Does anyone know?
Not my tractor, asking for a neighbor - he just changed the engine oil and filter.

 

[Partner]

air filter, first thought was good

25 Hp didn’t want to deal with DPF emissions crap , that’s the biggest you can go without it.

L2501?
That's what we've got here.
Pretty useful tool.

My buddy just bought a 30 that looks just like it, pre-dpf with 270 hours on it. Looks exactly like yours. Nice tractors.

Yea , would have be nice to have gotten a pre- def higher hp , but it gets the job done for me. Thanks

Well, not a tractor, nor mine - but I really like the look of this truck and finally took some pictures of it.
I think it looks cool and find it a shame it's rotting away like this.
How does neglect like this even happen?
This must have had some worth when it got abandoned, no?!
