Wow well done! I can only imagine how frustrated you must have been talking to the parts people. Great that you stuck to it and got the job done!

You proved persistence pays off. I was getting tense each time you were stabbing the pump on. Well done.

Very few parts department have workers that were mechanics before they became part salemen. I have ran into two in my lifetime that ended up sitting in a chair because of a accident that happened to them, that were mechanics first. Cut in pay to do that job for a good tradesman. So yes it is hard to find someone that knows what you are talking about, if they have not been doing it a long time. The reason Cat, JD and others don't give out that info is because of the markup they charge on parts made by other companies.

You hit the nail on the head with the reason they don't give out the info. Cat would like to sell you a new hydraulic pump for 13k or a new dozer for 150k. Rexroth on the other hand would probably like to sell you a new hydraulic pump also, and most parts people are hourly paid and have little incentive to actually do anything. It's easier to answer phone and say no we ain't got it than it is to actually look and source information!

I'm not sure if this was a common failure or if it was caused by not letting machine warm up or maybe clogged hydraulic filters IDK. I think it broke in the winter which makes me wonder if the fluid being cold contributed to the issue...

@@LifeWithChase I know the nylon bushing is a common failure. The pump breaking like you had most likely bad oiling, casting or abuse. That’s just a guess. You might be the only one in the world to have filmed yourself making the repair. I know why you did with Cat charging 4.50 a mile and $175 an hour. The repair likely would’ve run into the 10’s of thousands. I just replaced the undercarriage on myself and the parts alone were 10k. I think owning a dozer is worst than owning a boat. Thanks again

@@CentralMississippiWhitetail I bought it broke and that's what I thought the problem was when I bought it. The guy I bought it from hadn't owned it but 8-9 months he said, and I think it broke on him a few months after he got it. He was using it to clean up logging sets. He said he had just started his day and it stopped moving. I'm thinking maybe it was a cold 25-30 degree morning and he cranked her up and jacked her wide open and went to work. Hydraulic pumps don't typically like cold thick oil, that combined with probably partially clogged filters. Cat recommends 15min warm up time above 32F and 30 min below 32f.

Sorry to her you had such a hassle to get the pump. If you run in to any other tough situations you might give these guys a try; they will bend over backwards to help out. www.youtube.com/@AreaDieselService/videos

Half the problem is the manufacturer. Back in the old days parts book showed a break down of each component piece by piece with part numbers and how to disassemble and reassemble. Now days repair manual says to remove and replace the assembly.

The problem with mega corporations is they put everything into college degree but fail to realize they are hiring unqualified people. A piece of paper doesn’t automatically give wisdom and life experience and good customer service.

Yep and hourly pay doesn't give much incentives for a parts person to look up a hard to find part when it's much easier to just tell the customer we don't know or we don't have it. They get paid the same for doing less work than if they actually found and sold the part. Not everyone is like that of course but so many are.

What was their part number? I am looking for a pump for mine.

I don't know what their part number was. I believe I said the name of the place in the video, give them a call and they should be able to help you. The only difference was the 2 bolts in theirs was sae in the flange and mine were metric so I used the flange off of mine just to keep from having to go get 2 new bolts. I tried to provide as much info as possible when I did mine cause I couldn't find any info whatsoever when I was looking.

parts clerks make less than $20/hour. So there is high turnover on parts clerks. The knowledge of the average parts clerk is only as good as the electronic documentation that he or she has available.
