Default Re: Hyd Pump - What did I just buy?

Okay good news and bad news. Fixed the leak around shaft with more compression on the o-ring....but now I see a little seepage in the housing body which I think is just a design error...the raised lip on the plate that seats in the teflon ring pocket needs to be narrower and taller. Sealing the shaft was my main worry and looks like I might have that solved.

Will have to make a new plate this weekend and by then I might have a stronger motor to really test this thing out - the cheapo can motor just won't turn this pump once it gets up to pressure. If the new motor doesn't arrive by the weekend I might have to borrow the motor off my Leimbach pump.
