Hydraulic woes update

I've got the pump torn down, and I'm gonna try to fix it. I'll bore out a portion where the snap ring groove was busted out and sleeve it. The rest of the pump looks ok. Thanks to Bob for the picture of the breakdown, as all parts are either accounted for, or can be purchased new. The one odditiy was a type of bearing on the end of the shaft that blew out. We found the critical parts from that and the little balls I'll order new from McMaster Carr.

Instead of spending close to $300 for a new pump I think I can rebuild it for under $50 plus my time. Dad called our AGCO/Oliver/Massey dealer just to see if they had anything used or aftermarket, and they could only offer one from AGCO for around $700!

I'll try to take pictures as I go.

Don: Make sure you check the wear pattern on the suction side of the pump. Check some hydraulic pump vendor that has an inhouse build program for a better price. The last place I would call would be an implement dealer.

I've seen brand new pumps for well under $200. Dave

Glad to hear the diagram I found matched your pump!

Your pump's twin brother operates the lift and spout rotation on my shop-built snowblower.

That's a Beauty! What is the chassis?

261 Chevy moves it, 304 Binder moves the snow.

Another issue we have is the length of the pump. The H-frame of the loader was already hitting the front of the pump a little bit when it was down all the way raising the front end off the ground. Most pumps I found were longer and would hit much sooner, with more potential for damage. That limited the selection of pumps quite a bit.

Dad called the dealer more to see if they had anything in their in-house bone yard that would fit the bill, but the only thing Ione could offer was what AGCO has.

He did stop by a hydraulic shop, but they weren't much help either.

The gears where they mesh are smooth &amp; shiney, no wear marks or grooves. The sides of the housing shows some grooves in them, but nothing that looks too bad. It certainly worked well before hand so I've got no reason to be concerned at this point.

I ordered a bunch of peices from McMaster Carr today at work, the rest (selas &amp; O-rings)I'll either get locally or through Baumhydraulics.com, as I saw on their site they offer a rebuild kit for the Char-Lynn 400 pump for only about $11.50.

So far, I've got just over $20 on order in parts. Should still be within my $50 budget for this pump, unless S&amp;H really blows it out the water.

See you guys talkin about pumps and wondering if you can help me out. I have an old char lynn E600 pump that I just picked up. I need some parts and can"t locate a vendor. Any ideas out there that might lead me to some would be greatly appreciated.

I got my parts from McMastercarr.com and a local bearing vendor. What parts do you need? Not much to most pumps.
