[QUOTE="Earthwerks Unlimited, post: 23690, member: 1300"] Mister, have you gotten a price yet on that work? 7 years ago I had the pump and the one drive motor in my medium size backhoe rebuilt at $1700, another $380 for the hoe control valve spools (which didn't solve the leaking). IMHO, you will far and away surpass in rebuild costs what the machine is worth. Have you considered just offing it and putting that toward a modern, nicer machine. Generally, no one recoups that rebuild money. Also, if you have a L555, there is also a tunnel that runs from one chain-case to the other and converges under the seat where the strainer is that needs to be flushed out too. While you have the chain cases open, I'd throw in some decent size magnets to attract any loose steel particles. [/QUOTE]
