hydraulics on b-hoe attachmnt shut down

[canucklehead]

I just checked...the pump is distributed by a local company and has their name marked on it, PSI Fluid Power Ltd. The model number is C2300-V007653

When I go to their webpage, they carry Eaton pumps. This is blue and looks to be shaped a bit like an Eaton/Vickers pump. But when i started poking around at pump prices....OMG!!!!!!!!!!!:shocked::mur: this is worth as much as the attachment.

just curious, we were only moving sticks around, as you can see from the pile...nothing too heavy. Fluid was up before this happened. Is there something I did or didn't do, that caused this to happen? Or is it just bad luck?

thanks

I see on that link that they sell pumps, but how do I figure out what I replace mine with?

Yes, PTO pumps are anything but cheap...I suspect it just happened and that there is nothing you or your son did to cause it. Get the pump off and take it to a local shop-best case is they can fix it.

Can you take pics of the pump....if it's a Vickers, it may be salvageable....sometimes they'll jamb from a chunk of foreign debris wedged in between the rotor and the cam ring and snap the shaft internally....

wouldn't hurt to open it up anyway to check it out before purchasing a new one..

sounds like a plan. I'll remove it and take a few pics.

do I have to drain all the hydraulic oil from the resevoir tank ?

while you are taking it off, notice if it has a splined shaft and look carefully if the splines are worn/stripped.....

Yes, since the one hose connects to the tank fluid will run out when disconnected. I would filter it also through an old shirt to check for metal also.

BINGO!! That's what my neighbour said aswell (he built this attachment). It was connected with a U-joint, one side to the PTO, and one side to the pump shaft. the pump shaft is much harder and stripped out the inside of the u-joint splines. Way better than needing a pump!!:thumbsup:

so now I need to find a yoke with 13 splines. Any suggestions on where I find a U-joint yoke to match?

A shop that services driveline products, such as drive shafts, u-joints, etc.
