Hey Yall,
I'm getting ready to rebuild the hydraulic pump on a 2N. I have it all tore apart and cleaned. I have read the manual and have all my new parts on hand. Just have a few questions that the manual doesn't talk about and I haven't found anything searching online.
#1 How can you tell for sure that the Outlet and Inlet valves were seating properly? I'm assuming that if they have a nice shiny even mark around the valve they were seating just fine?
#2 How would you remover the "socket" out of the valve chamber? That's the first piece that goes down in and holds the valve guides in. I wouldn't hesitate to use the old ones as they seem fine,but I have new ones and was curious how to get them out? Cant tap hem out or grab them with needle nose plyers.
#3 I received 4 copper washers with the rebuild kit. I sure don't see any when I took it apart and I can't find any even listed in the parts list.
If anyone has any tips or other things I should be concerned about please let me know. This pump was actually working fine I was just getting a lot of leaking going on in the cylinder. I am restoring this tractor and I just like to take everything a part and replace what I can and check everything over. Don't ever want to run the risk of scratching up new paint if I don't have too.
