Well, short version of a long story I bought a 'new' w/o box Haldex 22gpm pump off Ebay for a great price. It looked new but it had clearly been installed before. Seller buys and sells distressed merchandise and didn't know any of the history about the pump, but did knock a large chunk off the price rather than a return.
So I took a gamble, only to finally power it up and discover a small leak between cast sections where it bolts together. The leak was small because it was only a new splitter test run and not splitting wood and reaching higher pressures.
Anyway there is little to no info I can find on repairing these pumps. Northern sells some repair parts, but my main concern is what is the very thin plastic?? material that serves as a gasket between sections? Or what should I use as a substitute?
I haven't torn it down yet but a suspect a a void in the casting or gasket material. Can't imagine a crack in that location.
Any advise?
