I removed the injection pump off my 3t because it's getting fuel in the oil. the seal cat sold me is a o-ring. the old one is cone shaped. could this be from 65 years of age or wrong seal ? other options, opinions ? Already put new packing in the transfer pump , didn't make any difference.

You have the right o ring probably, it’s sort of a chubby one. They get cone shaped from age. Replace the ferrule the o ring goes on and the seal on the pump shaft while you’re there.

Good luck

Cat sent the right part.



I changed that O ring in a 9u 2+ years ago same thing. Had a helper that could remember how if he had done things before.But not the brightest bulb. He had never changed this seal and would not believe a square piece of rubber could be replaced by a O ring. He fused and groaned all during lunch,since I had asked here and been warned about how distorted they are after 60 years we put it in .Has not filled the crank case with diesel since.

well I don't know I've had it 8 years , happened before i owned it. When I first bought it I changed the fuel filters, one rod had rotted and fell apart. I bet there was 2 inches of mud in the bottom of the filter tower. The poor old thing was eating raw-dirty fuel. still starts and runs good.
