Time for winter projects! MF 230 injection pump leak.

[Anonymous-0]

Hi!
Well it's that time of year, most of the equipment is sitting and now my to-do list is down to about 60 pages, so I've figured it's time to ask about that leak on the MF 230's injection pump.

The leak is dripping on the oil filter and when the tractor is good and hot, the fuel that is leaking will be vaporizing, it's leaking about maybe a drip every 10 seconds, and the leak appears to be coming from between the top square part of the pump and the main body.

Is this a home repair? or do I need to take the pump to a shop?

Thanks in advance and Halleluyah!

P.S. I'm kinda hoping I can repair it, just cause it'd be a learning experience! but would I be trying to learn too much at once?

If it's a CAV/Lucas pump, instructions for removing the top, and replacing the throttle or "kill" shaft seals have been posted a number of times on the Massey board. That would include removing the top cover, just as you need to do to replace it's seal ring. Surf over there and ask, or check the archives there.
