 i have a Halldon Pump, Hall mfg inc. in my 78 noncab.

Anyone have experience with one of those?

Thanks

I had the same pump, what's your question?

[hangster]

great.. mine has, besides the pressure release and outtake, two hex bolts and two flat head screws on the base as well as a hex bolt on top of the cylinder. Which one is the fill hole and what do the others do? Thanks

[Ripperj]

The fill hole on mine( which from what I can see is like yours) is through the plastic cap/ vent on top. Be sure to fill with the roof down!

[hangster]

well, I been filling the wrong hole.

I'm trouble shooting, hoping for an easy fix to raising my roof before I start taking things apart.

Thanks, appreciate the help.

and the pump was almost empty.. I filled it and started pumping, I wanted to see where those pin holes were to lock the top.

As soon as the holes cleared a stream of oil shot a foot from one and on 2 others fluid poured out.

Now I know my pumps good and why it was out of fluid.

holes?....reminds me of a movie

 

out of the top of the cylinders?....holes in the copper lines?...holes in the fittings?....o-ring failure?

 

standard pump to many...but not many have as clean a linoleum base...and original lino

the campers in pretty good shape, had it 3 days and very happy.

Gonna get a bunch a rags and tinker with the 0-rings

[Rusty]

come on......pictures please....when you get the hydraulics to work

 

if the lino is that good......there's no telling what the rest looks like....

 

if the cylinders are leaking that bad...you may need help to lift the top...don't try it yourself....

 

actually 4 or 5 people make it work nicely...one at each corner and one trusting soul inside to pin it up...then you can do the o-rings one at a time....with a 22 1/2" piece of broomstick

so by "lift the top" are you saying the 3/4" tube can slide up and out of the 1" tube thereby revealing the o-ring?

One instruction I read says to "loosen the large nut" at the bottom and slide out that way?
