Ford 2000 hydraulic pump leak

Ford2000guy · Mar 25, 2017

I am having a problem trying to get my hydraulic pump on my 1970 Ford 2000 to stop leaking. When I start it up, it has a pretty fast stream of hydraulic fluid flowing from the seam that is pictured. I have tried using silicone but no luck. The bolts are tight. I really dont want to take the pump apart because of the springs and other components. I have seen some exploded views of the hydraulic pump and did not notice a gasket. Does anyone have any suggestions?

The probability of fixing that leak without a new gasket is probably nil to nothing. Installing a new gasket isn't all that bad. Be careful not to tear up the check ball cages when cleaning the old gasket off. I would take the pump off the tractor so as to have control of the balls and springs. They will all stay in place when the pump is heads up.

Is number 9 in this exploded view the gasket that I need?

Yes, 9 and 13, just in case and probably 44.Have a good look at the area on the pump body where the leak is. Might have to plane the body to level the surface again.
