Aftermarket Pencil Injectors any good?

Has anyone tried pencil injectors for 3020/4020 from any of the aftermarket places such as Abilene Machine? Remans appear to be around $35 while the new Stanadyne are $70 each.

Personal experiences anyone?
 
I also just noticed that this site offers them for $34.15.

If anyone has good experience with them I'll get em on the way. Id love to be able to support YT with a parts purchase.
 
Never have tried aftermarket, but have tried remans. I always check injectors before they are installed. I have seen 70 to 80% of the remans no good. I will not use "reman" pencil injectors.
 
Hey Wilamayb,
I put some in a 2555 awhile back from TISCO. One went bad after a week. They gave me another one no questions asked but I did have to change it. Deere wanted $120.00 while these were less than $35. Other than that tractor has about 100 hours on them with no other problems and runs fine. Good Luck!

I put a set in the 4020, about half cracked at the welds after 1-2 years. They are a lot cheaper, so might net out costing less.
 
Any injector should be checked before it's installed. I have seen a few new ones over the years be duds right out of the box or the pressure so far off they needed adjusting. Like checking a thermostat, this should be done each and every time, new or not. Mike
 
I've bought several pencil injectors from China and used them in my Case 580CK with a 188 and my Deere 300B with a 152. It's been 5-6 years and all has been fine. Paid around $30 each for them. I was glad to find them and would use them again in a flash.

I am not a believer in the existence of truly rebuilt pencil injectors. I'm still waiting to see evidence on how someone renews the valve and valve seat to factory specs to restore performance like a new one. Lavoy says he has them so maybe he can chime in with details.
