Ford 3000 Hydraulic Failure

[Samuel Eubanks]

The hydraulic pump on my 3000 is gushing fluid when the tractor is running. It failed when I was trying to pull an auger out of the ground. Is there a rebuild kit I can use to repair this issue? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Sam

depends on what gusshing means..

did you blow a gasket, crack the feed pipe or crack a housing?

I think it"s a gasket or some sort of seal. It is coming from the joints of the pump

I am assuming that I need to remove the pump from the tractor and take it apart to get a better look. Here are some questions:

Do I need to drain all the hydraulic fluids first?

How can I identify which rebuild kit I need? Is there a way to get a model off the pump?

Are there other mechanical parts I should replace when I have it apart just for good measure?

I am sorry if these are dumb questions. I really appreciate all the help you guys give me on this forum.
