The gear pump is not that expensive if you can cross reference it and avoid the N/H dealer. I dont think theres a lot there thats servicable.O rings and seals but if theres mechanical wear its not practical to rebuildThere is a guy on ebay that has some N/H pumps and there is reference to a guy that people on the Forum do bussiness with that sells pumps.  The pump that controls the boom and bucket is the small pump mounted on the end of your left hydrostatic pump. You may know that.One thing you could check is that your aux.hydraulic linkage is not holding it open. That would a loss of pressure to the boom and bucket.Go to the [Salvage Forum] down below and look in the thread that is titled [Helpful Links]. There may be a connection there on a pump. Get the name of the mfg. and any numbers to search the net. Should be about $350 to$400 if you can avoid the dealer. The dealer probably wants $800. Mike</blockquote>
