OK, so I got my pump out and apart, final drive gears have been crushed and ground down, not pretty!
Hoping that the pump itself is salvageable.
I am hoping to buy a used final drive and slap on it, grasshopper want 1200 just for the final drive.
I need advice and opinions on several things, so all you hydraulic gurus give me a hand.
One, basically is it worth it?
I am fearing that there is probably fine metal parts throughout the hydraulic system, is that assumption correct?
I would have no idea to get these bits n pieces flushed out if there is even a way? Is there?
I was just going to flush everything thru the system with diesel fuel and then run more hydraulic fluid thru the system, dumb idea?
I am also kind of in the same boat as @FullChisel states, nobody around here will work on them, unless you have a bunch of money, understandable.
So alas....pics......
