Hyd Pump - What did I just buy?

[Heavy Metal]

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.

ya I smoked 1 of those cans on my vain pump . it worked till I tightened the tolerance on the vain . I'm not sure my vain pump idea is feasible considering what it was used for and the size motor it will need . But these lil pumps have a lot of potential right now I got enough for the dozer , pan and 2 others and looking for more

Yep...I like what I see with these little pumps so far. And yes...the can motor was burning up...I'd run it for 60 seconds then smells like I let the smoke out so let it cool...try again...I think I've just about killed it already. LOL.
