I have a 2004 Snapper ZTR branded mower. Yesterday, the RH pump busted, I'm hoping a seal. Lost power to that side, but limped to the garage where a quart or so of fluid was deposited on the floor. I couldn't see any broken leaking connections and the fluid was running from the drive pulley. Did a part look up via Google and the cheapest replacement is $885!
Dealer is 50 miles away and I'm thinking I'll remove the pump myself and take it to a hydraulic repair shop. Anyway experience a similar failure or have suggestions for a different course of action?

Thanks
