First break down of the M51A2 dumptruck on the farm!

Well its is the second the first was the #5 injector line broke. but Fridays break down was.....the gasket between the pump and the control valve blew apart on the pressure side! now i did notice when i took it apart that the bolts holding the pump on were not very tight so that prob was the factor in the failed gasket. SO the guy that I bought it from just happen to have two extra gaskets in the glove box!! (very lucky for us) is this a common thing? I made sure the bolts were double tight we'll see how long this one lasts.

Well not really I was in a hurry to fix it and get back to hauling shale but I will look and see if I can find the old gasket and take a pic of that and a pic of the new one.

I'm just wandering so we know what to look for. Might save someone from having the same problem.

Loctite blue the bolts to keep them from backing out again.
