Got the pump rebuilt and back on the tractor today. The re-build kit seems to have done the job, as the pump is now no longer spewing fluid out the fill opening while the tractor is running.Power steering works fine, with little effort to turn left or right-so far so good.The o-ring kit was a...

Thanks for the information. I got the old original double seal out pretty easy,but I don't think I will find a double seal to go back with. My local NAPA store found a seal for the Ford 3000 with the Plessey pump, but won't know if it is a double until it gets here tomorrow.I am relieved to know...

Thanks Harry, that's what I wanted to hear.I'll start cleaning the outside of the pump and get ready to crack it open.When I replace the one double lip shaft seal with the 2 single lip seals supplied with the kit does one face toward the drive gear and one toward the pump body? Sorry to ask so...

Thank you Harry,I figured the pump pressure was dependent on movement of the the steering wheel. With no steering wheel movement the pump pressure is pretty much static until the wheel is moved left or right.Is this correct? The shaft seal(or the 2 seals in the rebuild kit rather than the one...

Thanks Harry, for the fast reply and good advice- just what I needed. You are correct about the seals in the kit, they are both singled sided, and measure .246 tall, which would probably compress to about 15/32. How important is the snap ring, and what happens if it is left out? The kit has a...

I know this problem has been discussed, but I will start a new thread in the hopes of getting advice for my problem. I have a 1974 Ford 3000 diesel with power steering and the tractor is blowing fluid out of the fill opening on the pump when the cap is removed when the engine is running. This is...

Ebay usually has a multitude of used Ridgid ratchet hand dies and die heads that are excellent for small jobs.I recently bought a ratchet handle and 4 die heads with dies for $65.00 with free shipping.The die heads were 1/4,1/2,3/4 and 1 inch. Ridgid makes top notch threading tools that last a...

Old carpet with rock or gravel on top works fairly well on wet muddy roads to our hunting camp. The carpet eventually rots away, but the rock sinks into the mud ready for another layer of carpet and rock.Over time the rock finally buids a fair base, but that probably would have happened anyway...

Evidently Joachin decided that zetorworld.com was not to his liking, as the site can't be found. I appreciate everything that Renze did to help me keep my Zetor 3320 in the woods.Was a good site for a stong tractor. Thanks Renze

Yes sir, a plastic tub will work great. I do use a plastic tarp to cover the hood and console and engine.A shed is ideal, but with seven tractors needing covered, the little JD 950 is low man on the pole, so he sits outside. I had never heard of a Mr. Funnel that 5030 suggested, and after...

Recently had the exact problem with my JD 950. Pulled fuel line to injection pump and filled a quart jar with fuel. Let it sit for a few minutes and it had about 1/8th inch of water on the bottom of the jar. Drained all fuel from tank,lines and pump. Added new fuel and filter and it was good to...
