Deere Before Allis:

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   3020 Deere. Really good condition but main hydraulic pump has taken to seeping. Works fine but is needing resealed. Owner purchased a brand new one as doesn't want to have problems later on as tractor is a working unit. Multi year loyal customer so I won't tell the family "No" to any work they need. Pays well too in cash at job completion:
Parking spot in the shop:

Steer axle removed for clearance:

Leaker:

Damned pump is heavy so used transmission jack to remove it from the tractor:

Owner ordered brand new rear tires and tubes and they will arrive at the shop this afternoon. Old dry rotted and cracked originals are full of calcium so I'll need to see if that gets replaced or not. I'll blast the rims clean and paint them up before remounting the new tires.

This job will partially fund other projects going on around the "hood".

	Green, blue, red, yellow, orange, really doesn't matter much to me as they all pay in the same shade of green which does matter. New pump matches old near exact and is Deere supplied. Old pump on left fresh from solvent tank: After moving fittings over with new sealing rings: Fasteners are in solvent tank degreasing so will slip it back together after lunch and wrap the job tomorrow morning. Greasy slimeball on the underside, (oh wait, that's me) as the front seal really started leaking and throwing last year during harvest; or the story goes:
	That's All Folks!

	If that new pump has a serial number plate, you’ll need to time it to the engine to prevent vibration in the hydraulic system. Outer dimple on the pump shaft goes in the 1:00 position when engine is at TDC.
