One thing that will make big difference in electrical use is switch over to LED bulbs throughout the house. Each change takes you from 60 (or more) watts used to 6 or 7. Multiply that times the number of lights/lamps you have and it adds up quickly. I had some lights in CFL but didn't like them as they took to long to warm up. The LEDs are more expensive but according to the package a bulb will last 20 years being burned at 3 hours per day. I could not keep bulbs in my overhead fans as they kept burning out from vibration. The LEDs are not affected by the vibration, so more savings. Woody, same goes for trailer lights. Vibration and thermal shock going in and out of water will get regular bulbs. I switched to LED trailer lights on the one that was giving me problems and no more problems. Duff, ever figure out what thread type it was? Lots of help so far but I don't know for sure yet. Appreciate all the help so far. You guys rock! |

Here is the fitting that connects the pressure line from the pump to hydraulic cylinder. Going to by new fitting tonight and I assume that will give me the pipe size and type.  |

It looks like it will be a SAE thread, not a pipe thread, probably 3/4-16 . I am going to guess that by the time you buy a tap, heli-coil installation tool and the heli-coil you will have at least half the cost of a new pump. Those fittings are drilled then a special form tool cuts the thread diameter, seat face, chamfer and the face on the part. I am not even sure a heli-coil will work in this application. If it was a pipe tap the face would not have the all the geometry, just a chamfer and threads. Here is a link to the tools and inserts. www.mcmaster.com/#helicoils/=1453ha9You might check at a farm service place and have them repair it for you. |

Upon further review and zooming to 250% the threads look good. I agree with Bullseye.
They are not NPT threads. Pipe threads seal on the threads and you would not have a seal.

yea farm stores didn't have what I needed. The auto place didnt have a 3/4x16.
Looking at online the helicoils are more than half the cost of the new pump...I may see if a locktight thread repair can work before I buy a new pump.
The best ones reccomended was 2x more than my pump.
apreciate all the help

You screw the fitting in till you get the 45 in the correct direction and then tighten the nut. The nut and o-ring seal the fitting not the threads. So DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE THREADED PART, just the nut, so you can screw that part in by hand till its in position. The pipe end tighten as normally you would. |

In all this it Is safe to assume you tried to thread the piece back in? Sounds like they over tightened it or under tightened it at repair time |

Yea when I threaded it back in there it had wiggle it was so busted and when I took it all the way out there was quite a bit of metal shreds that came out. I try some thread repair or jbweld and see where it gets me. If I have to get another pump...so be it

I wondered that too but don't know if it is really that easy. I will look into it.

Try a John Deere, Case, Farmall... dealership. They should know how to fix hrdro fittings.

Duff, where you at? Are there any hydraulic pump or hydraulic cylinder repair shops near? They might be able to come up with a less expensive fix. If not, then it's time for a new pump.
