Re: minimec injection pump

Hi
The pump should fit.i have the exact same pump on my 1960 power major.be aware though that when i had to change the pump recently i was told that the p4685 pumps weren't the correct pumps for tractors and don't have a rev counter drive on them.

Re: power major wont start

Hi
Dont mind revealing cost at all.they charged me £390 including vat for an exchange pump.they told me they have hundreds of pumps on the shelf so should be able to sort you out.probably be best to call them with your pump details to get a price.their phone number is 01522 788295.
