I was wondering what the lift pump on an RD4 was supposed to have for a seal. Looks like graphite packing, last I checked Cat doesn't carry a seal for it any more, here are some pictures of a scrapped out pump of mine,

They went through a couple style pumps and seal arrangements. Looks like you will have to make do or move up to the next style pump from sr. #4G9568 to 7J635 that used a different double seal. I believe all of them were a graphite packing.

That's a different pump.....still similar style....but uses different double seals and from what I can make out from the parts book the seal related parts are different dimensions and they are different part numbers.
May not get you out of the woods until parts availability was checked also.

Thanks Old Magnet, I think I will try making a new packings with some rope, and I will use a press to get that stuff packed tight, hopefully this will work, the old packing probably old, hard and drieded out, I appreciate your support

KidNV,
Are you sure they are all the same seal?.....cause the spring, seat and retainer numbers all change to. Might be close enough to give you something to work with though....price is right.
