OEM vs aftermarket fuel injectors on a Kubota MX5000

[matt498]

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I have an MX5000 we purchased about 15 years ago. She needs new fuel injectors and maybe a fuel pump?? Part# on the injectors should be 16454-53905.

Ive priced the parts and OEM Kubota brand is between 5 and 10 times more expensive than after market.

Does anyone have a preferred after market brand they've had good experience with or even a link to injectors they already purchased.

I know we get what we pay for but there has to be a line somewhere when OEM is going to run me between 750 and 1100 depending on distributor and after market is under 100 for 4 injectors all over the web.

Thanks in advance, Matt498

Why do you think they need to be replaced or repaired?

I have never heard anything good about the cheaper internet injectors. @North Idaho Wolfman always recommends to get them from dealer or rebuilt from Oregon Fuel injection. That seems to have been mechanical injectors not the newer high pressure common rail injectors that you may (or may not?) have.

I would contact Oregon Fuel about exchanging yours with their rebuilt ones. Or possibly just buy one new one and send yours off for rebuilding one at a time so you can hopefully keep using your tractor.

I'll Parallel what @Russell King asked, why do you think you need injectors or injection pump?

And yes aftermarket injectors and pumps are almost all junk.

Pull them and send them to Oregon fuel Injection to get them professionally rebuilt.

FYI: If you do pull the fuel injection pump, make 1000% sure you keep all the shims ( there is no set amount) off the bottom of the pump or block and keep them as you will need them reinstalled when the pump comes back from being rebuilt.
