Thinking that I needed a pump I bought one on Ebay.UK. My mechanic put new rings in my pump & it appears to work fine. He took the UK pump to check it out & it may be for sale shortly.

Thanks Sandy! That should make it easier to locate. Is there a name for it other than "drain plug cover"?

Emiel, I am researching the difference from the SM to the NP SM. Can you tell me the difference?

Thanks Emiel. I have 6 tractors & "Babe" is my favorite. I've had it for 15-16 years & it has been a great piece of equipment. Russ

Thanks. I emailed to see if it would fit a Super Major. It looks flatter than mine.
Would you know which Majors would interchange that part?

Thanks. I emailed to see if that was for a SM. It looks flatter than mine.

Part#EIADKN-994686 (#27 in exploded view) page 38 of parts catalog (probably after market)
Mine is broken in two & braze is leaking. I'm going to attempt to coat inside w/epoxy until I find one.
Thanks for any info on a parts supplier. Russ

I expected that there wouldn't be any new ones. Perfectly fine w/one that is used & in good shape. Thanks.

In search of; Drain plug cover, part # EIADKN-994686. Thanks for help. Russ

After buying a pump on Ebay UK, My mechanic pulled the pump & inspected it. He thought it was in GREAT shape. After replacing O-rings it appears to work well. He took the pump that I bought to inspect & maybe re-ring it, so I may have one to sell. Now I need a drain plug cover(Part# EIADKN-994686) a...

Thanks for info! After months in the shop, my mechanic replaced rings in pump & hydraulics seem to be working well. Just in time to put it back to work. NAPA return filter was the replacement. Leak from crack in drain plug cover is now the issue. If epoxy doesn't stop leak I will need a new cover. I...

Looking to replace Hydraulic pump 63 SM & would like to get all gaskets necessary.

Kit parts #? Where? Thanks!!

I found a pump & filter on Ebay UK, hopefully it will work.

Thanks everyone that replied your help is much appreciated. Love my Super Major. I have 6 tractors & that is my favorite by far. 15 good years of service so far. Russ

no aftermarket suppliers in UK?

I am going to search Ebay.UK.com.
Are the Hyd pumps interchangeable w/other majors?
How difficult is it to get a rebuild kit for this pump? What wears out besides seals.
Any distributor you would recommend?
thanks.

The PTO is engaged. I drained fluid. pretty dirty for being run for maybe 30 hours. The screen is very dirty & appeared to have been pushed up in place (by prior owner) as the screen was collapsed upward, & now damaged from me trying to get it out....so, I'll be shopping for a filter & gaskets. real...

I spend a lot of time trying to locate parts for my SM. Where is the best place to get parts for this in America or is it easier to get in England?

Thanks for replying. Sorry I didn't get back sooner, for some reason I am not getting alerts & thought no one replied. I will recheck & follow your suggestions. thanks so much. Russ

I am in the Fingerlakes region of NY.
I am not a mechanic.
3 pt is not lifting & I need to troubleshoot reason. Where to start? Where to get parts?

Thanks for replies. Completely swamped w/too much to do. instead of researching, I bought a tractor w/4 remotes (656 International). Sorry I didn't reply sooner. thank you for your input.

Ran my SM out of fuel. Went through bleed procedure. couldn't get lift pump to bleed through inlet. Lift pump is 2 years old.
What now?

I bought a JD 335 Round Baler & it has 4 lines from baler to tractor. My Super Major (63) has only two lines.
What do I need to utilize the 4 lines?
Also how to wire bale indicator? where to look for wiring schematic?

How to test before trying to replace?

Brian, I took some more pictures. I am looking through Allan Condie's book (pg 12 New Major E1As 1951-64) The pic shows a 6/63 that looks like mine. Maybe the new pics I posted will be better to determine year. The Simms pump (SPE4A75S 647) (Bottom left corner; 439053) has less than 45 hours on it f...
