Simms injection pump

Post by hazzard »

Looking for a banjo bolt and copper washers for the leak-off pipe on a Simms injection pump, can anyone help please?

I have a lot of extra Major parts. I'm not sure if I have any of those, though. I'll look in the next few days.

Is there lubricating oil in a Simms injector pump? And if there is where is filler/level plug? And what is the interval between changes please?

Vacume pump is lubricated by the diesel that leaks from the pump elements,and does not require further attension besides cleaning of the little air cleaner under the little round cover bolted on top of the pump rack.
I add a little ATF in the diesel ,I Think it is good for the injection system

Thanks SvendH, pump is 'ticking' a bit but as long as the tractor does its job all will be well !!

:eyes: If you want to give it some extra lube,you can unbolt the drainpipe banjo bolt and squirt som sae 30 oil into the pump housing.Remember to clean and lube the small filter on the pump.
Ticking sound could be from the injection pump drive,thats the "major sound ".
