Hi all haven't been on here in a while still sorta workin on my TEA 20. Had some running problems once I fixed them up like, vacuum in the fuel tank (air hole in fuel cap plugged) replaced fuel/sediment bowl shutoff assembly which old one was impeding fuel flow. Now it doesn't stall out but still sometime have a flooding issue guess carb float is sticking a bit.
Now having issues with hydraulic pump.
It worked initially then quit. Just gettin time and tenacity to delve int it.
I removed pump and observed that both valve chambers had damage to them presumably due to condensation/water in oil and froze. One valve chamber had a large piece broke pretty much in center where chamber cap bolt hold the caps on, the other had a tiny piece broken out on one chamber. I've seen the repair videos on Bundy bears shed, but he obviously hasn't experience the dilemma I'm now having.
I decided to purchase a salvage pump as the overhaul kit according to the implement dealer/salvage outlet indicated the overhaul kit which comes with new valve chambers was quite expensive at around $600. I got this pump from a Ferguson, and it doesn't fit. I even swapped the valve chambers to my pump still no go. Apparently, even with replacement valve chambers it's indicated that some grinding of the pump housing may be required to fit. At this point I'm unsure of where exactly that modification might be as I've not removed top cover to facilitate seeing where its hitting.
I had the bright idea to attempt a repair with JB Weld and it worked for the most part (worked once then quit) but apparently the smaller piece didn't take and blew out. So back to a second attempt now to heat and melt the JB Weld off and try again.
Only option I have currently other than removing top cover and try to visualize what needs to be done to install salvage pump and or any future replacement valve chamber should it be necessary in the future.
Question however where if possible could one plumb a filter inline with the hydraulic system and what type?
