Pump ID?

[LarryBud]

I know this is a silly question but we all start somewhere. On the far right of this picture is a pump with a cap. It appears to be hooked to injection pump. Is it part of the injection pump?

What is it and do I need to add fluids or maintain it? The manual I have ( for my Ford 3600 ) does not mention it at all.

I got the picture off the web but mine is the same.

my guess is the large silver cap is motor oil fill. is it a Perkins motor ?

That housing holds the gear that drives the injection pump, the cap is where you add engine oil.

Its a ford 3 cylinder diesel on an Ford 3600.

Thanks. That would explain why I can't find the oil fill. The Operators Manual I have ( bought off of ebay but looks legit ) has different photos and locations.

When I look under the cap I see all the gears and think they should be lubricated. The oil is in spec on the dipstick so I guess I'm ok.

Pump is a CAV DPA rotary used on the Ford three and four cylinder. Perkins used the similar pump on there three, four, and six cylinder engines.
