Read articles →Part 7 of an ongoing XR3135 teardown-and-rebuild series, this episode focuses narrowly on reinstalling the hydraulic pump, power steering pump, supply line, and pressurized hydraulic lines. The creator works through each step at a practical pace, noting orientation details, gasket sealing technique, torque caution on aluminum threads, and anti-seize use. Best suited for XR3135 owners or DIYers tackling the same reassembly who want a step-by-step visual reference.
Posted by the Ben's Machines channel, which appears to be an owner-operator documenting a personal tractor rebuild project.
Line up the shaft with the splines, with the fitting facing down, then secure it with a lock washer and nut, snugging without fully collapsing the gasket sealant.
Align the pump's spline shaft with the gear, secure it with two 14-millimeter bolts, and connect the low pressure inlet and high pressure outlet lines.
Be careful not to over tighten bolts threading into aluminum since they will strip, and avoid over tightening the small threaded oil sending unit.
Anti-seize paste is applied to threads on the high pressure hydraulic line connectors and the power steering pressurized hose fitting before installing them finger tight.
