Vane Pump Replacement to Piston Pump

Buster1410 · Aug 4, 2015

Good evening all,
My 1955 860 has the old Vicker vane pump and it is now leaking hydraulic fluid badly, so I have decided to replace it with a rebuilt piston pump. I was wondering how extensive the process will be of replacing the vane pump with the piston pump and what difficulties/problems should I expect with the replacement process?

Vane to piston?

Need some wrenches, remove some bolts, catch some oil, swap pumps, plumbing manifold, orings, bolt back, replace oil, maybee bleed.

Thanks soundguy, it sounds like a pretty simple process once I get all the parts.

Also may have to change engine oil pressure line and elbow to clear pump or else the pump housing will break when installing on engine.

Will I have to take the engine oil pressure line off in order to get the new pump on or will I have to change the angle of the line and elbow so it clears the pump housing?
