I was pushing brush back from the edge of a field with the backhoe this morning when a limb came in next to the motor and broke the return line at the top of the injection pump. The fitting that broke is the one right on top of the pump. I think I remember from when I had to have the pump rebuilt about a year ago that there is a one way valve at the return line on this pump.
The fitting that broke has a chamber inside it with what looks like a small piece of shaped glass inside the chamber. The fitting broke right at the top of the chamber. I was able to get the bottom of the fitting out of the pump with an easyout. I've attached some pictures of the fitting that broke. Hopefully you can get the idea of what it is from the fitting?
Is this fitting the one way valve?
Will running it without this special fitting damage the pump? I presume this would have to come from an injection pump shop or from JD.
