Hello All,
I have a 1958 IH 560 Standard with a D282 and a Roosa-Master DBGFC631-1AE injection pump. The pump developed a leak off the bottom of the housing on the back end. The leak seemed to be somewhere around the o-ring between the steel pump body and the aluminum housing, or the o-ring between the transfer pump head and body. I checked the seal rings on the fuel lines just to make sure one wasn't cracked. They were fine. The tractor ran fine, once I got it started, which took a while. I tore the pump off and apart, installed a new pilot tube and seal kit. It leaks just as bad if not worse now. It is definitely leaking between the transfer pump head and the pump body. I did not see anything wrong with the original o-ring other than it was flattened out of course. I have had the head off this three times trying to see a problem, carefully reinstalling it to keep it square with the body, including using a feeler gauge to check evenness when tightening to the 25 inch pound torque. The new o-ring seems fine, has about .025" protrusion above the surface of the pump liner ring, but I can't get it to stop leaking. The housing, liner, and head casting seem fine, no cracks, scores, scratches. I can feel the plunger rattle when I shake the head. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I may try gluing up a fatter o-ring, permatex, or if I get mad, resort to JB Weld if I can't get this pretty soon. This is my first DB, although I have disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled a pump I had years ago on an old TD 9 track loader. I am a Journeyman machinist, millwright, and currently a maintenance manager and CNC machine service tech for a large machine shop, so I have some mechanical and troubleshooting abilities.

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
