I have removed the "plate assembly" from the bottom of the hydraulic/transmission housing on my 841 ford in order to access the system/pump relief valve. Attached to the plate assembly is a small metal stud measuring 1/2 inch in diameter by 11/32 high with an O-ring. The stud does not show up on any drawings in the parts book nor any picture in the service manual or FO-20. The parts manual does show an O-ring, NCA-786-A, as one for "cover plate to center housing". Can someone tell me if this is the correct O-ring on the stud? Also, when I removed the cover plate there was no O-ring between the plate and bottom of the system/pump relief valve. Only a gasket. The bottom of the valve had made two impressions on the plate assembly (concentric circles) indicating metal on metal. My next question; is there suppose to be an O-ring between the plate and relief valve? If so, what is the O-ring number?
