Pulled the hydraulic pump out of my 8000 on Sunday, it’s safe to say
I wasn’t having an issue with a pickup tube o-ring. The gears for the
hydraulic pump had worn into the housing a good 16th of an inch and
most of the bushings had multiple cracks in them, pto piggyback
pump had a lot of wear as well. New pump is on order but I’m
wondering how the internal filter (number 4 in the diagram) comes
out so I can replace the 3 pickup tube o-rings while I’m in there,
should it just slide off the tube? Also the number 3 o-ring on the
diagram that seals one of the outputs on the pump was completely
missing, I’m not sure if ford used a reddish color RTV sealant from
the factory but I know the o-ring didn’t fall off because there was a
tiny glob of the RTV in part of the cutout for the o-ring. As far as I
know the tractor has never had any hydraulic work done to it so I’m
not sure if it was missing from the factory or not.
