[Herb Metz]

Cecil,
Congratulations!
Thanks for sharing this small victory; opinion is most of us would call that 
a LARGE victory (psychologically and financially and maybe timewise).
Herb

I dug out my parts and searched for the manuals.  I could not find
them.  I found a site on the internet where I could download the JD
repair manual for the pump for $9 for the next 24hrs.  I got it and
pulled the pump off and started working on the rebuild.  A lot of the
parts included in the seal kit were just like a carb kit, you don't use
all of them.  This morning I installed the pump and with a little work
on getting the air bled, it worked great!   If I had wanted to go back
together with the original type of governor ring, I would have only
needed the seal kit.  $14 + shipping and the $12 bit to take out the
timing screw.   As it turned out, I spent $85 on parts, and 5 hours on
the overhaul, and it Works!!    Injection pumps have been such a mystery
around here, there were never any books available and no parts.  It was
always $500 to get one thru a shop no matter what the problem was.  I
have a White 2-105 that has had the pump worked on 3 times because the
top cover will leak after about 3 years.  $450 each time.  The same $14
seal kit fits that pump........    Pump shops make those of us with the
old equipment pay for their new test stands for the new stuff.........
I had checked with the local pump shop here, and to rebuild this pump
would have cost a minimum of $450 + parts.

Just had to share this small victory.   I have wanted to be able to
repair my inj pumps for years, finally it happened.
