[QUOTE="peebeeaitch, post: 62719, member: 8318"] Thanks for the feedback Tazza. This is the rear of the housing: [IMG]http://bobcat.thesouthpole.co.za/BloodSweatAndTears/2013-01-28_RearHousing.jpg[/IMG] Now that I look at it, it looks worse than I thought. I have no idea if this is OK, medium or poor. The fact that it has probably been like this for yonks probably means I can take a chance, especially when most of the other stuff is (hopefully) sorted? I am thinking of getting a new wear plate. I am first going to strip the front pump though and check and, if necessary, save the $6 on the purchase price of $100000000. Every little bit helps. On that note, any pointers on cost? I have a price of $87 from Highway and Heavy Parts for the 6598478 part. We have a surface grinder at work. The one chap there has offered to skim the face of the motor for a beer. Is this a good idea? I looked at the feet of the rotating pistons. They are sharp, but don't have burrs - they feel like a well sharpened knife without the burr. But I will knock them off as well. While investigating the rotating group I did find this: [IMG]http://bobcat.thesouthpole.co.za/BloodSweatAndTears/2013-01-29_Scores1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://bobcat.thesouthpole.co.za/BloodSweatAndTears/2013-01-29_Scores2.jpg[/IMG] Notice the scores on the rotating group!!! I would take the thing apart and, for another beer, have him skim this. But, I can see a spring there that is able to contain nuclear fusion. I am afraid that if I release that circlip all sorts of loud, dangerous, painful and time-consuming things are going to happen. Is it worth it? The spool feel fine in either orientation.
