Last fall the hydraulic pump on my Gleaner E gave out. Everything related to the pump from Agco is NLA. None of the local salvage operations even had any Es left. I was all set to make a 4-5 hour drive down to Kansas City when a buddy came through with a used one. It got me through the rest of the season, but it was worn out. A local hydraulic shop was able to custom modify an off the shelf pump to work. Since the original had the reservoir mounted directly on the pump, I made a base out of aluminum to bolt to the bottom of the reservoir and connect a return and suction line to. Before it was struggling to lift the 2 row, now it picks the 3 row up easily.
