The pump on my Ryobe pressure washer locked up so I am looking to replace it. I only paid 400 bucks at HD for this unit on special and have had it a number of years. The Suburu engine still runs good so I think it's worthy to put a new pump on but I have issues going with the same make pump.
First off, with the 7hp engine, the manufacturer has rated it 3000 PSI, 2.7GPM. The AR 98566001 pump has "max 3500PSI, 2.7GPM" on the brass valve body. Homelite also used this pump.
Looking for this pump is like pricing bed mattresses. No real specs and priced around 270-300 bucks if in stock.
The engine has a 3/4 shaft with the smaller hp bolt pattern. I found a CAT 3DNX27GSI rated 2850/2.7 for about 280. Anyone knowledgable with pumps think this would be a good choice?
I want to keep it under 300 dollars. I was pretty happy overall with the Ryobi's performance. If I loose a little, no big deal for the right price. Even a low buck model will do if it gets me a few more years of washing.
I welcome all suggestions and souces if you have a good one.
