Seized Roosa Master CBC injection pump Deere 570 grader

[Len]

My John Deere 570 grader (6 cylinder 303 cubic inch) has a seized CBC633-12AL injection pump. From looking on the internet, it appears that's a big problem, as no parts are available for the CBC pumps. Does anyone know of any reasonably priced options or should I just sell the grader for scrap/ salvage?

Do a Google search. I Googled the pump number and found the pump you need. I tried posting a link but this site wouldn't allow it.

Thanks. But wow, some wild prices considering my seized core is worth zero.

You might be able to free it up. Soak it in a bucket of E-85 for 2 or 3 days. If that doesn't work try this guy...

Thanks. It seized up while running so I think it has a problem that soaking won't help.

A guy at the local diesel shop told me they can often free them up.

Freeing up a rotary pump that seized and getting it to work again is just about impossible without replaced the head & rotor assembly. The tolerances in the distributor section of the head & rotor are extemely close. A few little nicks and scratches and it's all done and no good.

New repair parts have been unavailable for 20 years. Only fix is - to get a used pump like your's - or just convert your engine to use the JDB pump.

But JOHNDEER is the one that advertises they have all the parts all the time. Sounds like they let you down.

I never heard anyone from Deere claim to supply parts forever. To their credit - in regard to Stanadyne/Roosamaster C series pump - Deere had offered update/changeover kits for 20 years. Just so happens some people did not take advantage of new parts package.

I appreciate the info. Hopefully I can come up with something based on one of those pumps. But pricing so far makes it look like grader is not worth fixing.
From what I read it sounds like a "rebuilt" CBC is an inspected used pump, maybe with new seals. Doesn't give one a feeling of confidence that big $ would be well spent going that route.
