Having the crankshaft ground on a 1957 Fordson Major and have decided to replace the oil pump.
Agriline in the UK have new pumps for sale at a reasonable price if shipping is not to high. they also have several other parts available that would make my tractor more presentable.
Has anyone had any experience with this company and/or parts supplied by it, main concern is the quality of the oil pump.
Thanks,

Why do you want to replace the oil pump!
Is it showing signs of wear? Have you tested it?
The new oil pumps available from Agriline appear to be the later model oil pumps, with the pressure releif valve intergrated into the pump housing.
Check that the current oil pump in your tractor engine is the same. If it doesn't have the pressure releif valve as part of the oil pump, then the new ones won't fit, well not without changing the sump also. (I know, I've been there

Re: Major Parts (Oil Pump)
The relief valve is a part of the pump.
Do you have a satisfactory way of testing an oil pump.
