I think JD is running 3000 psi (constant pressure, variable flow) for a few decades. In the 70s they used 2000 or 2500 PSI CP. My IH Liftall I always thought was 1000 psi, but some documents say 800 PSI. It really does not matter because it is constant flow, variable pressure, so it only hi

Thanks Max!  BTW, your note reminded me that I need to look in the Black Tech Data Book to see what they say about pumps - I always forget to look at that til I am half way through my repair!  It's a great little book - I wonder if they are still available?  Do you have one? I'm glad to hear t

Larry, in the FSM procedure 46-0002 is the survey of power steering pumps for 124 cars. Your turbo OM602 should have either Vickers or ZF pump with a red label for opening pressure of 110 +/- 5 bar (green label on a used pump will not be the same spec, so I'd avoid those). Other MB cars with the

I think Vickers and ZF were both OEM suppliers?  I swapped the PSP off the donor 420SEL onto the 560SEC and they look the same but had different tags on them (or on one, the tag was missing but it was clearly in a different place/size).  I'm pretty sure one was Vickers and one was ZF.  I tried

Thanks Craig, I looked at the A1Cardone and it it not available (for my 91 300D) and it may be a while before it is available. So I am back to the used pumps offered. 1 Question - is there any difference between the Vickers and ZF pumps?  I "assume" they are manufactured to identical MB spec

Max: I resealed the dual pump on the 124 TE. I am fixin ta reseal the PS pump on the 81 240D. Resealing a single pump should not be that hard. Fastest to buy a rebuilt or used pump. How I'd reseal the Single PS pump: Remove the old seal, take it to the local bearing supply (Motion Indust

Thanks Max, I'll see what I can find.   I have ABS but no ASD or SLS so hopefully that will normalize the search a bit.  I started looking yesterday but haven't found anything yet.  The ads are either so vague that I can not be sure the part will fit or so precise that I am sure it will /not

Larry, That looks to me like a complete break of a tab on the body of the pump, so you'd need to replace the entire pump. A used pump would probably be a good bet. If your pump is a single circuit and not a dual circuit like a car with SLS or ASD, then they are pretty common. I suspect that jus
