Product Overview

Pencil injectors meter and atomize fuel directly into the combustion chamber. As the nozzle wears or deposits build, symptoms can include hard starting, uneven idle, excessive smoke, diesel knock, reduced fuel efficiency, or one cylinder contributing less power.

Matched Stanadyne and Deere application data associates 28481 with multiple 3000/4000/6000-series engine and tractor applications, including 5300, 5400 and 5500. Because injector calibration and nozzle family matter, use the stamped injector number or confirmed Deere cross-reference rather than appearance alone.

Match the injector stamping and engine parts data before ordering. Injector pop pressure and spray quality are calibration items; clean fuel-system practices are essential during installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can one injector be replaced by itself?
A: It can be when diagnosis isolates one failed injector, but on a high-hour engine it is worth testing the set so cylinder-to-cylinder fueling remains consistent.

Q: Is 28481 the same as every RE36935 listing?
A: Cross-reference data connects these numbers in supported applications, but verify the engine and injector marking because Deere used multiple injector families.
