Hello!
The onboard hydraulic pump on my B7100 died last night. You can see a long crack just below the pump's equator in the following picture:
Some circumstances of the failure:
Any idea what could cause such a failure? The tractor has less than 800 hours on it.
Here's a sketch of how I plumbed my hydraulic system for the loader:
Any clues about what might have gone wrong?
Can somebody recommend a favorite salvage yard where I can source a used pump?
Thanks very much.

Some circumstances of the failure:
- This is the first time I've used the onboard hydraulics to power the loader.
- The transmission was filled about 50/50 with gear oil and UDT substitute from TSC.
- I was raising the empty bucket at the moment of failure.
- The transmission may have been overfilled.
