Ford 900 Vickers Vane Hydraulic Pump Help

JasErnest218 · Mar 3, 2022

My hydraulic pump blew a o-ring and was squirting fluid from the pump when using the loader. I ordered a new o-ring and changed it out. I filled up with new hydro fluid
started the tractor and no hydraulics. I tried the shot of air into the dipstick opening and still no hydraulics. What can I do to get hydraulics back?

It is a vickers vane style pump exactly like this: https://nwindustrialmachine.com/products/3926

The pump was a huge pain in the butt to take on and off. 2-3 hours off and 2-3 hours back on. This was due to the lower frame that was in the way. I have a row crop single
wheel in the front.

We have a big snowstorm coming in the weekend and I need to get it back going.

UPDATE: It has been fixed thanks to everyone here. THANK YOU!

Did put together wrong? Arrow on center/vane section same direction as rotation.

Just ran out and took another look. It looks the same as the pictures I have seen online of the same style pump. Arrow on the far right side pointing up.

There is no videos online of this style of pump. Plenty of the piston pump.

Does the pump need to be primed?

riming is what the compressed air into sump is all about. Enough volume & pressure to force fluid thru suction to pump.

Usually I am quite mechanical, however looking at this pump makes no sense on how it works. Hydraulic fluid comes up the manifold into the pump and then pushed back down into the manifold?
What pressures all the fluid up the manifold and into the pump if it is a dry when I put it back together?

What is fluid level? if below pump intake its not going to pump.

I do not have the same pump as you, but I just had to prime mine after splitting my tractor. It took quite a while of air pressure with the engine running to finally get it. I saw a video showing how to do it and the person raises the 3 point lever and applied air and just like that it was done. Nope.
Also didn't help that it had been parked for a few days in single digit weather. And at one point, my hyd oil fill cap was off..

Mine has a place where i could thread in an adapter and use a hose to watch bubbles leave the system and see when it finally got there.

Make sure you have fluid up to the full mark on the hydraulic dipstick and then back the tractor up a slight incline. Gravity should prime it for you at that point. Unless you have shorter rear wheels and tires than a standard row crop, then you may need to back it up a steeper incline.

I also have used the clear plastic hose run from the pump plug hole to the fill port. On my Jube it took a looooong time, but on my 2110 it was almost instantaneous!

ight want to point our where on his Vickers vane pump that the "pump plug hole" is located. :^)

Where is the pump plug hole. I know there is one with the piston style pump. However I am not seeing anything on the vickers vane pump. Thanks!

Thank you I am going to give this a try today.

IT WORKED!!! Backed it up to a snowbank, took a minute or so and the loader works. Thank you everyone.

I'm glad to hear that it worked for you.

Isnt there a little flat set screw on top of the pump, angled in towards the engine block? That is what we always did, flathead screwdriver remove the screw, be mindful not to lose the spring inside, pump 3 squirts of oil in the hole from a oil can, put the setscrew back in and good to go.
