Ford 3000 power steering pump

[g ostby]

Greetings YT'ers; I bought a new power steering pump and the forward end has a large gear on the end where it bolts to the motor . That surface has a metal to metal contact surface. No gasket was on the pump when I removed it but there was a very small amount of gasket seal present. No place for a round O ring to fit but a flat surface that could possibly fit a large flat washer. I'm thinking that the large gear must need some oil and a flat washer fits between the pump and block. I ordered a gasket kit but no flat washer was in it, just O rings. Am I missing a gasket, or do I use gasket seal or just bolt it together? This is the last part that needs to be fixed before using my snowplow and it's snowing out now. Thanks, Gary

Should be o-ring #35

That is a standard oring -152 avaible at any hyd shop.

JOEM; Thanks for the help. I just ordered the gasket # 35. I previously ordered the new pump but it didn't have a gasket. Then I ordered a gasket set which had many O rings but no gasket. Maybe this will allow me to finish the pump problem. This should allow me to run my front snow plow. Thanks again, Gary

Shaun: Now I'm confused again . Is this an O ring or a flat gasket ? Part #22 is a round Oring and fits in a machined groove. This part doesn't have a groove ,just a flat surface. Do I need a n O ring or a flat gasket? Gary

You will find a groove in timing cover adapter that oring seats in. Some one in past may have made gskt but it never had one from the get go.
