I have a 76 Ford 4000. It was leaking (drips now and then) a little from the pump and while using it yesterday all of sudden fluid started spewing out under high pressure on the right side of the tractor. I thought it was fuel for a split second and turned it off quick and got out of dodge. I could then smell it was hydraulic fluid. It was spewing from the pump on the left side out the right side.
The tube (looks like copper pipe) that comes out of the pump was loose and it was spewing from around the pipe. The nut was still tight, but if I pushed/pulled on the pipe it would go in and out of the housing easily. Appears to have lost its seal or something.
Wondering how difficult that is to fix and what part(s) I'd need and what the process is if anyone has done that or knows what the steps are ?
The top picture shows the pump I'm talking about, the bottom is a close up of the pipe where you can see its come out of the fitting a bit by the clean spot.
It only operates the lift arms, no FEL.
Thanks for any advice / help / instructions.
