So you're saying the intake pipe falls out of the pump? a pressed in fit? If that's the case, you might have to expand that fitting just a little, slip it over a socket and give it a few hundred light taps with a ball peen hammer to stretch it some get it absolutely clean and reinstall it with red loctite. but you want it to be a firm fit, light press fit.
so cleaning up the intake tract cut down on the pump cavitation sounds that were coming from the pump, at its rated flow, that port was far too small and too turbulent. Summer flows are okay but winter was too restricted.
I think you mean 'Fort' and that's true!! I can read a nomograph and will tinker with anything. Another defect in my implementation was being sold a 35gpm suction filter that was really a 10-15 gpm suction filter and a 35gpm pressure filter. If I'm missing something let me know, that's how learning happens.
Most likely made for Haldex by the C.H. Ina Co.
Most likely based on the look of the internals, rough machining etc.
I just got a log splitter and the intake pipe is loose and falls out. What would work to keep the tube tight for long term on the pump?

Who sales the seal ????????
Oh just a non-formed o-ring nothing special. Measure the thickness and size.
So did it pump harder?

Did the red loctite work?
Indeed, worked very well and has kep a tight seal
What loctite #
@@erikmclaughlin3740 262 but if I had to do it again I'd either try the copper spray or the 518.
What about 515 is that much different i have some of that
Obviously hydraulic pump knowledge and design is not your fortay
