Im actually writing for my uncle. Hes elderly and has an issue that he can not figure out. I will try to explain as best I can. Please bear with me.
He has a 2240 John Deere. I have all the numbers off of the plate if that will help. On the injector pump it has what I call a nut or screw on the lower side I believe it may be an octagon type shape. Its very very short and has a gasket or seal around the inside top. Diesel began leaking from this bolt and he took it off. He needed a new seal, he got that and put it on. When he tightened it back, he must have tighten too hard and he crossthreaded I believe the pump part where the screw goes. I dont believe its bad. But its definitely broke. It is leaking fuel. Will he need a new injector pump or is there a way for this to be repaired? He was told by one place to use JB Weld. He doesnt want to have to buy a new one. Is that his only option or is there another remedy. Im hoping I explained this to be understood. I have zero knowledge of anything about a tractor. If I didnt explain thoroughly enough, I can try to find a picture.
Thank You in advance. I appreciate it.
