So I pulled the O/D unit off the iron-cased M46 I just got, and while some of it was good news (already has the updated pistons/seals)...some of it was bad? The mainshaft of the M46, where it goes into the O/D, is BADLY scored. Without taking the unit apart, I can see the scoring lines up with what appears to be a brass bushing, so obviously there is a possibility of metal/metal contact, but how much is too much? Everything else seems great, and the scoring is only in that one area. The pump lobe is fine, and everything is probably ok.
Any advice? Slap it back together and run it...or move on?
