Hi. So. I have been driving with low transmission oil pressure at idle for 2 years now.
Finally took the tractor apart and the pump is gone, Deep grooves and tolerances are way off.
Called my local parts deals to order a new pump and that's where the fun began.
There is a new pump available for 4k - 5k. that's no good, the whole tractor cost me less.
I don't feel like buying a used unseen pump for a lot of money. Maybe someone know a solution for this problem ?
There must be someone who can fabricate new gears for it. Housing seems fine to me, just need to refurbish it a bit.

Thanks.

Can you find out who the pump manufacturer is and then get one from them, so you get a new one but not in a CNH box?

CNH are doing a reman range of stuff, check if your pump is available through that system.

Quote the part number and people (me) will be able to check other sources.

Would it be part no 16 or is it a different pump altogether?

It is FK4008213. But that price is absolutely stupid. if it was 1 or 2k I would think about buying it so I don't have to sell that tractor, but 5.5k isn't worth it.

Maybe i can get a used one , just need to see the gears and housing before buying it. I live in Latvia, we don't have anything like that here available.

Just a thought 🤔..it's a Funk power shift transmission.. does it share components with the version fitted to the MF 8100 or 8200 series fitted with the similar transmission?
As it's a charge pump, they usually operate at a much lower pressure, could it possibly be fed from the main hydraulic pump through a pressure / flow reducing valve?

I was thinking the same thing. Add an reducer to 300psi. But is it really that easy in reality. A lot of tractors do the same. Single main pump and that's it.
