I have a late '60s early '70s John Deere 500 backhoe I remove the injector pump to replace the umbrella seals no problems there at all the shaft look good the pumps good reinstalling it I cannot get the pump to mate with the black surface to tighten it down it's all about an eighth of an inch Gap I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong to get it all the way down anybody got any ideas I have found that there's a dot inside injector pump and a DOT on top of the shaft those line up good everything inside the pump fits well just cannot get it to set all the way down

Did u tie the throttle back to wide open BEFORE YOU TOOK IT OFF.??
If not, it’s possible a flyweight came outta place..
Did u TIME IT BEFORE YOU REMOVED IT.??
If not, your probably just a smidge off on your ailment.. just reach in the pump with a long screwdriver and turn it ever so slightly and try again..
THATS WHY it’s SOOOO IMPORTANT to time one before removal.!!!
U could have just lined up the lines in the side window and slipped it on..
