[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 3144, member: 82"] You can check of the pump is missing my lifting the cab to see if there are a bunch of hoses that are just sitting under the seat. I'm really not sure what the pumps cost, but from what i was told (in .au $$) the rotating groups are 1,500 each, the swash plates are about 700 each. Each pump has 2 of each of these parts, one for the left one for the right. The hydrostatic pump is pretty well bullet proof, its rare for them to go bad. These machines did have a bronze filter that was hidden and most people never knew to clean/replace them. They gave the impression the pump was dead, it would squeel like a stuck pig and move very slowly. Replacing the filter restored full operation. My 731 has the same pump and it has done at least 10,000 hours and it still works great! As for re-sale value, its really hard to say. It may be an old machine, but if it still runs well you should get 4-5k i would guess. The only dead machines i have bought i had a good idea that they were running before they died. [/QUOTE]
