They would hold oil....., but let air back through themselves, and seek the highest point..., the filter... I finally gave up, and took it to the local Bobcat dealer... Shop foreman, and mechanics thought it was the pump.. For one thing..., the rental company I bought it from..., had the pressure jacked up to almost 4,000 psi...!! Had them replace it... He calld that afternoon...., and said it was doing the same thing...., with the new pump... But the old one was shot, at least I have a new pump... He told me the next morning he was going to have a phone conference with sevaral shop foremans, in the tri-state area... Two weren't sure...., and one told him it was the drive motor seals... He described what it would do..., to a "T".. Foreman called, and said they could have the seal kit within a day... Less than $60.00 I believe...., but don't quote me... But...., labor was $900.00...!! Had to pull everything out, to get to them... Told them to fix it... Been using it for 2 1/2 years..., and hasn't missed a beat... ( Knock on wood...!!) I've since built a tined manure bucket, and bale spear for it.... Handiest thing...., since sliced bread...., LOL!! Hope this helps someone else.... I must have missed the one posting about the 453...., geeze..., over a year ago..!! Sorry...!!</p></blockquote><p></p>
