Ouch!! Look what I found in my Super H Engine!

Tonight I removed my non-working hydraulic pump from my Super C, and I found out why it wasn't pumping. All the teeth are stripped off the gear in the engine that drives the pump gear. The gear on the pump is pristine...not a scratch. But the gear in the engineis trashed. And the remains of the teeth are in the oilpan and the rest of the engine. What else in the engine does that gear drive? Distributor? It is just a beater tractor, I don't care if it has hydraulics or not. The engine runs great.I wonder how long I could get away with it if I just dropped the pan, cleaned it out, and changed the oil and filter?? Here's the pic.....

Woops....just read the title of this post....it should read "Super C", not "Super H"....I have too many Farmalls I guess.

I believe the gear you're looking at there is the cam gear and in turn it also drives the distributor and governor. I don't imagine it will last overly long in that condition. So if I was you I'd be looking at getting that fixed. It's a bit of a pain but doable. Sam
 
Wise guy even my cam does better then that but then you have to be a but head don't you. You know if you got a life or maybe what you need is a girl friend you might learn to be a nice guy but fat chance of that
 
Something is wrong her if its a C then and you say all the teeth are gone thans imposible cause that would be the cam gear and no engine will run without the cam turning. Better get your story corrected cause any teeth in a row gone from the cam gear the engine will just not run and there isnt any way they are all gone.
 
Looks to me that there is enough of the cam gear to still turn the camshaft. He says it quit pumping so it must still run for him to know that.
 
The hydraulic pump gears are narrower than the cam gear. The remaining parts of the cam teeth are enough to keep the camshaft turning.

Excessive loading on the hydraulic pump can cause the damage you see in the picture. Most likely the pump gear is a steel cut gear and the cam gear a cast iron gear. A hydraulic system that stays on high pressure will end up with those results.
 
Look for a "macro" setting if you are using a digital camera. On my Nikons the symbol for it is a flower beside some other shape. Turn it on and zoom in a little and it should focus up.
