I've read a lot of the posts concerning the leaks around the shut off and throttle linkages, but I'm also having a leak around the bottom banjo bolt that connects to the fuel line. I clean fuel off the pump, start the tractor and you can see the fuel come out from between the washer and the housing. I went to the Massey Dealer and bought new crush washers and put them on, but no dice, it still leaks. I guess the question I have is, is it possible to over tighten these banjo bolts and washers. I was thinking about tackeling the O rings and gaskets myself, but I can't seem to get this bolt to quit leaking. Now I am thinking about taking it in to have the entire pump rebuilt but am leery about it because despite the leaking pump and front main seal, the tractor runs great. Any advise from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
