Good morning. I have several oil pumps and have pulled them apart to clean them up and select the best one to use. I have discarded a couple for obvious reasons such as corrosion and welding attempts. I have noticed several subtle differences in the rest such as an early forged one with soldered on cover. several have rectangular oil discharge holes at the top section of the shaft. one has a single larger discharge hole, and several have two smaller discharge holes. There is also the two different drive shafts . Is there one style that is better than the others to rebuild and use? Also, one has the extra sheet metal cover that was designed to cover the opening in the dipper tray. should this be used? Thanks. Jim.
