well jim, not entirely your fault, or any your fault in my opinion. I already had the filter assembly before I even started that thread. Thing is, this filter assembly is designed for modern day logsplitters which are 2500psi (which i didnt pay attention too), so they are probably inherently designed to be able to pull a better suction and they ARE on the suction side, I double checked the logsplitters at TSC, and they are all plumbed like that and these filter assemblies ARE sold as being replacements for those logsplitter series. I went with the 25micron, and I should have realized it would be too fine, as the old filter screen is probably more likre 100 or 200 microns.

Overall, I am more happy then upset, now its just a matter of figuring what to do. For now she will sit without a filter, which is fine cause she doesnt get much use as it is now. I'll figure something out. Ideally if I could find a filter that would fit this assembly and was alot coarser rating, that would probably be fine.

In hindsight, I should have just bit the $92 bullet, cause now it seems about $130 bullet is about to hit me in the butt =P

I looked on ebay for a used filter, none, but there is about 4 or 5 people selling 300 and 350u parts, so I sent them a message asking if they had one. Maybe I'll get lucky, find one, and the guy wont know what its worth and ill get it for like $10. That would offset that bullet and just make it a BB =P. Still gotta pull the res cover tho, but I got enough material to make another gasket. Thing is, I wanted to get my pontiac in the garage to work on it, guess the old 300 will have to wait its turn tarped up outside =P

You have no idea how good of a feeling it is to have the pump not sounding like its going to break into a million pieces. So Now I got 2 of the 4 main worries addressed, hydraulic pump is fine, the rear end/tranny gears are fine and noted, now the engine and clutch will just have to run til they die =P Engine holds about 55lns of pressure and no real bad sounds, I'm gonna check timing and maybe lean it out a tad, then she should be good to go. Weird enough, since the 12v conversion, Seems I dont need to use the choke? Starts up within a few seconds of hitting the key. That might be why I need to lean it out a bit with all of the carbon black soot on my flapper and stuff.
