I have a New Holland TC45D that recently decided to blow the hydraulic pump shaft seal and leak 4 gallons of hydraulic oil into my engine. I bought a pump rebuild kit, swapped out the parts, reinstalled the pump, topped off the hydraulics and drained off the extra hydraulic oil in the engine. My problem is that now I don"t have any hydraulics. The pump does not have a bleed screw. The hydrostatic drive and my power steering both work (different pumps?) but my 3PH and FEL are both dead at the moment. I ran the engine for a minute and tried to cycle the controls but I was afraid to run the pump dry for any longer than I had. I backed the tractor out of my garage and up a slight hill hoping that the new oil will drain downhill into the pump and i"ll have a primed pump in the morning. Other than what I have already done, does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

SC KansasI"ve got an ACE hydraulic pump on our tractor for pumping fertilizer that I drained last year. What"s the best way to prime it without taking out the top drain plug? Can I just loosen one of the hoses on the discharge side? Will it prime without bleeding it? Does it hurt it to run dry while trying to prime? Thanks

Do you know which pumps in your facility require priming? Which are self-priming? If you don"t, starting a pump means you"re taking a pretty big chance. Don"t be the one that guesses wrong. Read on to find out why priming is important and which pumps will require it before getting started.

Priming the pump readies it for use. A pump"s casing must be filled with fluid before starting. If not, the pump will be unable to function. If vapor or gas exist inside the casing, the pump will become gas bound, and won"t pump. Priming is the action of filling the casing with fluid before startup.

Priming is an important aspect in maintaining the functionality of a centrifugal pump. Water or the fluid pumped acts as a coolant, preventing the pump from overheating.Failing to do so causes the pump to run dry, causing mechanical seal failure, and serious damage to pump components.

Depending upon the piping configuration, a pump may not need manual priming. A flooded suction condition is when the suction port on the pump is lower than the liquid level pumped. In this configuration, the pump is already filled with fluid andis consideredprimed.

When the liquid level is below the suction port, priming becomes more difficult. This is where having a pump with suction lift capability is important. Pumps such as the Gorman-Rupp T-Series are well known for this. Check out this video from Gorman-Rupp that explains how self-priming pumps prime.

For instance, air operated diaphragm pumps self-prime by creating a pressure differential in the diaphragm chamber. This draws in air and pulls the fluid into the suction port.

In short, to avoid failures, centrifugal pumps must always be primed before operating. Positive displacement pumps are self-priming with suction lift capability, but always check the operation manual or confer with an engineer to ensure the pump will properly function at start up without priming first.

We started the 300 tonight after working on it for a few months. I drained the hydraulic oil and switched things around for power steering. When it was running there was no pressure on the hydraulic lines and none of the hydraulics worked. The oil level is lower than the lines to the pump. How do you prime the pump on this tractor? Is it a matter of simply overfilling or what?

The TC wasn"t too bad. You"re really just taking it all part, cleaning out all the passages, ports, etc. and putting in lots of new seals. You get the kit from Case IH for $89.

I had trouble getting some of the actuators out of the block. They were recessed into the block and being held by suction. My TC had been shut down with the pistons drawn in. I would try it with the pistons outward. I suspect the actuators might end up sticking out of the block slightly. Other than that make sure the outside of the TC is absolutely clean before you take it apart on your bench. I used lots of paper towels on my bench to lay the internal arts out on. I cleaned the inside of my bare block with a high pressure sprayer using mineral spirits. Dip or coat parts with oil as you put them back in. Rotate all parts with o-rings as you put them in, don"t just push them in. Make sure all parts go back in the same exact place in the block since you"ll have pairs of most parts. The head has to be torqued down to 45 lbs.

Engine-driven hydraulic systems have become a staple among truck upfitters. One of the things that most upfitters don"t think about is having to bleed the clutch pump system. Without priming, the risk of cavitation increases, reducing the longevity of your pump.

pumps to perform correctly. There are two types of hydraulic systems: flooded and non-flooded. A flooded hydraulic system is one in which oil flows directly into the pump by gravity, filling the system with oil. A non-flooded system starts with the pump empty of hydraulic oil, requiring suction to pull hydraulic oil through the pump. Below we will discuss a non-flooded hydraulic system.

pump"s lifespan. Deweze has two recommended ways to prime your clutch pump system to prevent pump damage and cavitation. One method involves using pressurized air and a bleeder valve; the other requires filling the suction hose with hydraulic oil.

With the bleeder valve open, wait for the excess air in the system to flow out until there is only hydraulic fluid flowing out of the valve and no air.

goal is to bleed the clutch pump system, not to drain the system. Priming the system with pressurized air and a bleeder valve should be completed; anytime there is air introduced into the clutch pump system. Examples would be the initial installation, reservoir or pump is replaced, or changing the hydraulic fluid. Pumps may need to be reprimed if they make loud noises or you experience delayed movement of hydraulic components.

Fill the suction hose with hydraulic oil until filled. Carefully, without spilling the oil, reinstall the suction hose on the barb fitting and tighten the clamp. At this point, you have primed the pump.

The pumps will work when mounted on any flat, vertical or horizontal surface. Keep in mind it is good practice not to mount the pump with the pump head above the motor on a vertical surface–to avoid potentially allowing fluid into the electrical workings of the pump.

You may have to prime the pump initially. After that they do not need to be primed for subsequent use. In most cases where the pump has problems with prime, the pump has been unused for a long period and must be re-primed. Also, check for any possible air leaks on the suction hose.

All pumps will handle any organic contaminants usually found in fuel and oil tanks. If you are concerned about bigger particles (e.g. sand, metal shavings) you should consider installing an in-line stainless steel strainer before the pump.
