My helm pump is weeping steering oil and I have to fix it. Is it an o-ring or a seal that needs to be replaced?
I think it'll be stamped in the pump body, do you have duel helms? My 3870 has duel helms & uses H-50 pumps. When I rebuilt mine I was traveling on the river & the upper helm started to leak & I lost all steering & had to use the engines & transmissions to maneuver. The parts necessary to rebuild could be had at any hydraulic shop, just take the old seals & orings in & have them match them up if you don't have them in your parts stash. You'll need help & a tire pump or air bubble when you bleed the system, also the correct oil not ATF. Good luckWhere do I find what H series it is? All it says on the label is max. wheel dia. 28" and max. wheel dish 5".
