[QUOTE="DSTEVENS, post: 100284, member: 13824"] Hello Arik434, i am very sorry for not responding to you and for being offline for so long ang not updating For those interested. I have had life issues taking up my time. Long story short i took the farmboy hydraulic pumps to a well known repair shop. He had worked on that set up before. The Cessna pump which is no longer available was in good shape internally, as well as both hydrostat pumps, a bolt was broken off in the case and required that it go to a machine shop for repair. An overhaul kit was istalled, which was basically bearings and seals/o-rings. It took 4 months to get it back. Yes that was too long, but i was busy anyway. I have recently reinstalled pump assembly with new hoses.
