My front cover had a crack by the regulator spring. So had to wait on parts for that. But same results. Will post up when i get it back.

Hpop. Ball bearing fell put along with some seal.
I guess my old girl is quite tough, he said he's never seen one run with the ball bearing missing.

We had one in the shop a few years ago that would slow start and run. Would even drive but would have extremely low power.

Mine didn't have a loss of power and even had fairly normal icp pressure. Why didn't it show up on my hp leak check?

I had a feeling it was high pressure oil concern. The leak on the pump from the bearing must have been on the lp side of pump. It was like a little check ball that is pressed into the side of the pump, right?, or the actual pump bearing?

Because the ball bearing is on the low side of the pump. A leak would only show on the high side.
