47 2N overhaul underway pic

I am in the back half of the tractor now, rebuilding the pump, lift and brakes.

Can anyone give me an idea what to look for re: wear in the pump? All four of the pistons have light scoring, looks like they were scratched with sandpaper. The scoring is very even all the way around each piston and all four are in similar condition.

The pump and lift did work, but didn't have much power, struggled to lift my 5' bush hog, all the while making a clunk clunk clunk noise. And the lift leaked down in a matter of minutes.

I'm thinking I will do a complete overhaul (except chambers) on the pump. And replace the lift piston with the NAA piston and O-Ring setup.

Am going to do a brake job too, one side didn't even have an oil seal in it, guess that explains why no brakes on that side, huh?

I have been degreasing, cleaning, and painting each part as I take something apart. Been repainting it with 'Duplicolor' Medium Grey spray paint I get at the auto parts store. I know thats not the correct color but its close enuf for me.

Here ya go

Looking good,

Greg
