Has anyone run into a hydraulic pump that leave a gap at the thin part of the sealing/mounting flange for the transmission mounted hydraulic pump (right above the brake shaft through the housing to the left brake)? I ordered an aftermarket pump a little over a year ago (of course warranty ran out 1 month ago when I finally figure out the problem after 3 gaskets, replacing the brake shaft seal, and all the o -rings), and it works great, other than the tractor has always had a leak since putting it on. I finally mounted the pump without the gasket, and you can see in the image that there is a gap between the pump and the transmission. Do I have a tractor with an abnormally thing flange in this area or do you think I just got a bad pump? The factory pump sealed fine and seems a little bigger. I may clean it back up and rebuild it if these aftermarket pumps are not cast as large around.
