Another issue that popped up is when removing the pump unit and rockshaft housing the suction line at the rockshaft housing basically fell out of the unit. Apparently someone before me attempted some repair on it and there was a couple different kinds of gasket sealer in there, one hard and one silicone. They used so much of the stuff that it practically plugged the connector.The end of the pipe has no flare on it, just straight. Thats odd, ahahaha. Anyhow, it wasn't leaking before but it is now. Open to any suggestions including trying my own gasket material fix or getting the pipe flared. This post was edited by snow fighter at 04:47:12 11/10/12 2 times. [Reply]   [No Email]

Very little extra cost or work. The pipe just uses a compression seal. Can't believe anyone would fill it with silicone & chance ruining the valves just to keep from spending a couple bucks at Deere for a seal. [Reply]  [No Email]

I"m going to look at it again and see if i can get some of the hard and soft gasket material off the connector. Thanks a bunch ! [Reply]  [No Email]

A bunch of people sell them new and you can almost always find them on ebay used and in good shape. If you have it apart this far you might as well fix it up right is my thought. For used try: Dave Cook Tractor Parts Rusty Acres Ranch New try: Sharps Tractor Dave Cook Steiner Tractor Last time I checked this website does not sell them new or used. [Reply]  [No Email]
