Thank you, I plan to replace like for like, hopefully that's possible, I'm still sourcing parts, pretty expensive and haven't found (not that I want to use one) a used pump. The radiator replacement wasn't a problem. This piece of equipment sat in a barn for 7 years, a few hours looking at systems and figuring out what was what, I got to work on putting some things together, new battery, fuel filters, drained the tank, checked the oil etc. No manual so I had to rely on my basic knowledge of a diesel engine. The tractor was 60 miles away so I couldn't just play with it whenever. I went back the following week, checked the air filter, replaced the fuel filters and started playing with it. With in an hour I had it running again, I moved the hydraulics, then backed it out of the barn for the first time in 7 years. I ran it on the property cleaning up years of neglect. Finally the owners gave me the backhoe/loader, cost me $200 to have it and all 6 of its buckets home. Long story I know but it's important, the backhoe/loader belonged to a guy I met in 7th grade and we remained good friends until his death 7 years earlier, I was asked to manage his estate until it could be sold. I did and still take care of it. The backhoe was his baby and he told his siblings not to let the equipment go cheap. Lol they did but I wanted a better price for the backhoe, guess I got it. Lol thanks for you help it is appreciatedAlso, the hydraulic pump is a gear type, which hopefully you have. If it is the vane pump, there is a lot of plumbing that won't fit the gear pump.
The bypass Roustabout is referring to is in the loader valve, section 05K02, item 1A
Thats valuable information, basically you're saying the pump can't fail from a blockage the pressure would release, is this correct? This would mean I can put in a new pump and not worry that it failing again because of a blockage or something like that.One other thing I was thinking about was that this is an open center system, so if the pump deadheaded somehow by activating a circuit and extending the cylinder to its max, that is when the relief would kick in, so I don't think the relief would be the culprit anyway.
