3 cyl 2000 hydro help

Brian Bell · May 19, 2013

I"m working on a 3 cyl 2000 for a friend. Had to replace the compression nut for the high pressure side of the hydraulic line on the side of the case. Couldn"t get the pump to reprime. Decided to go ahead and take top cover off to work on another issue. Found cam follower pin worn half way through and the return oil line completely gone. Guess it broke off and someone was too cheap to replace it. My questions are: What do I need to do to get the pump to prime (tried IT manual steps) and what is the best way to get the pin out and replaced. I"ve done this several times on an 8N with no issues but this 2000 is a bugger to work on. Thanks in advance!

To prime, take the plug out of the pump and put in a hose barb with 1/4 NPT male. Run the hose to the fill plug on top of the rear end and run it at idle until it pumps smooth.

The pin should press out of the arm but you'll probably have to take most of the lift apart to do it. Check the cam on the ram arm for wear if the pin is that bad.
