Is it normal for the hydraulic tank to start gurgling after I shut it down? I took it out today and played around a little bit in the gravel and seemed to do ok. It wasn't smooth at all but it I assume its still full of air because of the bubbling noise the hydraulic tank makes every time I shut...

Well I feel like a total moron but here it is. I decided to mess with it again today. I noticed that the hydraulic tank cap didn't look like it was on right so I took it off to make sure it didn't get water in the tank from the rain we had this week. I looked down in the tank and didn't see any...

The swash plate were in pretty rough shape again. I didn't surface the rotating group last time though. When I took it back apart it looked like it did before I did the original work on it. I pulled it all down, wiped out the housing and everything so I feel very confident that I done it all...

Well I have more news. I took my time cleaning, checking and surfacing the parts in my trans. I got it done today and set it back in the machine, started it up and it pulled good but I didn't have lift power. I shut it down for a minute then started it back up and worked the pedals until I...

Can someone give me some advise for how to get the port block loose from the pump?

I can't thank you enough for your help! If I have low pressure at the port block does that mean I need a new pump cartridge?

Oh crap! That thing was unplugged when I bought the bob. I actually turned a wrench into it and broke the 1 wire plug off when I broke the line loose next to it. It was unhooked so assumed it was just a temperature light of some kind. I'm pretty sure the wire to it is dead. Can I bypass it somehow?

I guess it was too cheap, I called them today and they said it would be 1600 plus S&H to rebuild my pump. If it sounds too good to be true it usually is. As far as the filter, It wouldn't even move until I took it out. I don't know what the pressure sender is. Is that the adjustment bolt on the...

I have the pump out now. I checked the valves but I didn't see anything obvious. I am going to take your advise and take my time to make sure it's all as clean as possible when I put it back together. I'm not going to put a ton money in though because I found a company called Hydrostatic...

Nice work! It looks great!

I didn't get crazy with the sander. After I knocked down the rough stuff it still took three hours for the worst plate and around an hour for the other. Me and three other guys took turns sanding them across the cloth. If I would have had to sand them by my self I think it would have took me a...

That manual is great! Thank you very much! It will be much easier to tear into it tomorrow with this. The only other question I had is I hear the term replunishing valve a lot. Where is it or does it have a different name in this manual?

I should have been better informed before I took the pump apart. Are there common problems that any of you guys have with the drive on your machine?

I only took out the plates. I didn't disturb any of the other parts. I thought given how bad the wear plates were that I didn't need to go any further, not to mention the fact that this is the first time I have ever worked on any kind of hydraulics. What am I looking for when I take the pump...

I keep thinking that it must be a blockage at a filter or valve somewhere but I don't know where to get a parts breakdown for my pump. I think tomorrow I am going to pull it back apart and see what else I can find. When I first put the pump back on after surfacing the plates it wouldn't move at...
