I'll get a gauge hooked up and see where I'm at. Thanks

No it was not, I just bolted the new pump on and went. Is the relief valve in the pump itself? I replaced the pump because the housing cracked at the outlet fitting.

It puts out the proper gpm for the mower. I haven't used anything but bobcat hydro fluid in it since I bought it years ago. And the mower is a CID unti with a parker motor but it does not have a pressure guage, although it's something I've considered adding. I was kindof thinking the old steel...

Ok so I run thisy machine with a brush cutter and when I'm in the thick stuff they aux hydraulics get very hot, and of course as they get hot they lose power which causes even more heat trying to keep working. I'm wondering if there is a problem with the machine or if it's cooling system just...

You're right it doesn't sound like they know what they're doing... You can throw parts at it all day long and accomplish nothing but wasting money if you don't know how to actually diagnose and confirm a problem. Take it somewhere else and you shouldn't have to pay for repairs that didn't solve...

I gotcha, I know what you mean about hoses being a pain. I just had to replace the rubber line from the filter to the hydrostatic pump, the pump end was a real joy. Lol

Why not just replace the hose and have a properly functioning machine. Not trying to be rude but the hose should be less than 80 bucks even if you buy from the dealer. Also did you change the filter? My low pressure light would come on at startup all the sudden and changing the filter rectified...

I own a CID extreme std flow mower and am pretty happy with it but it does slow down significantly when you get into 4" plus hardwoods. Pines are no problem. One thing it does really well is grind up the mulch pretty small. They just redesigned all thier wowers sobthat now their top of the line...

Thanks for the info, I'll just go with a new one, mine is the cheaper of the two. That amount of coin could be lost in a day easily with a failed repair. Not worth the risk and I can keep the old one as a spare since I got it sealed up temporarily.

Ahh thanks, that's not bad at all. I was expecting much worse.... It looks like a pretty straightforward repair also, as long as they left you room to get the shaft clear and slide the pump out... :)

Hi ya'll!! I just got back from clearing some land I won in SC and while I was there I ran into a problem... My 99' 763 developed a pretty signifigant leak from the gear pump. I turned out to have a crack in the pump housing leading from right where the pressure fitting threads into it, thourgh...
