    Veggie oil mix with CAV pump

    I happen to have 5 gallons of new (not waste) veggie oil. I read somewhere it's bad for Lucas CAV pumps, is this so? I would like to mix it with diesel fuel just to use it up.

    CAV injection pump leaking at pump head

    Sounds right, thanks. I'm a good mechanic, rebuilt many engines, is it something I can tackle myself with the pump on the bench?

    CAV injection pump leaking at pump head

    Hi Guys, Can I pull the pump head out and replace the o-ring that seals the pump head to the body while the pump is still on the tractor? Perkins 3 cylinder.

    Perkins diesel leak

    I did find a ball valve on top of the fuel filter housing, with a line going back to the tank I think, and it was stuck. I got it freed up and it's no longer leaking at the filter but the pump is still leaking from what looks like two places, the little tow bolt cover on the side and from the...

    Perkins diesel leak

    Crap. Got on my '74 MF today and fuel is dripping from two places on the pump and also out of the screw on filter. Never leaked before. Is there a pressure relief valve that could be stuck?

    hydraulic ram seal

    Any tricks to getting this seal in the groove halfway down the collar? Twist it in a figure 8? Pound it with a meat tenderizer? Or just get one edge in and push like hell?

    FEL Ram take apart

    Done! I put the ram back on, then went to do the other side. Didn't even take the ram off, just undid the hose and pin on the one end. The cap, which was stuck like glue on the first one, turned easily. And now that I'm a pro and fenagling those new seals in and on, I was done in a few...

    FEL Ram take apart

    Well I put a .005" feeler gauge in there and spun the collar around and it went on pretty easy. Hopefully didn't hurt the seal, don't think so.

    FEL Ram take apart

    OK now I have the new seal squeezed into place in the collar, a bit of a feat on it's own, but it won't slide over even the end of the rod, which even has a slightly reduced diameter than the main shaft. How do I get the lip of the seal over it, and past the edge onto the main part of the...

    FEL Ram take apart

    Got it. Pretty exciting when that wire starts coming out, for an old man that is. So the seal I need to replace is down in here, right? If I take the outer seal off will the spacer behind come out or do I have to dig it out where it sits? Thanks for the replies guys.

    FEL Ram take apart

    Well now I have leaned on it pretty hard, still no budge. Heat maybe? Just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing.

    FEL Ram take apart

    Not coming apart easily. I put the ram in the vice, the body just spins, either way. So I put the body in the vice and a pipe wrench on the cap. Haven't given it enough torque to put teeth marks in it but it's not wanting to turn. If I have to lean on, which way, lefty loosey?
