Pump Number?

[Spiffy]

I'm replacing my rear wheel pump seal and have some questions (BTW, oil leaking between the motor and pump is very likely the rear seal /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif )....

Anyway:

Does anyone know what part # the seal kit is for the P097 pump? I was ordering the rear seal, when I decided if I had the pump out, I should order a whole kit so I could disassemble and inspect the pump thoroughly; so I told them to send me a whole seal kit. Somehow they misunderstood and sent just the seal. I like to support PTs parts dept. since their trouble shooting guys [Terry & Eddie, I believe] are so friendly, but if I can find the parts locally, I really need them Wednesday.

Even if you don't know the seal number(s) does anybody know what the P097 pump is? Then I could probably find some information on part tolerances, as well as likely find secondary sources for parts [though I hope to not need it again /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif ].

I also ordered a wheel motor seal kit to keep in my spare parts bin, but it only says P100-1. Anybody know what motors [P100 PowerTrac number] these are so I can find a back-up source?

/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif Ran my mouth off a bit too soon [though if anyone has info on that pump it'd still be great before I start putting the seals in].

I guess Keith did follow my change of plans, but had already shipped the indiviual seal, so sent the kit separate [IIRC, less than a half hour time frame /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif].

Actually, it was mostly frustrating on this end because the regular UPS driver is on vacation, and is sub is clueless about this area, so it was way too late to call PT when I finally picked up my package yesterday. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif I had to drive 16 miles into the city to straighten out the "incorrect address" [actually correct, and in a town of 200 people and 2 paved roads], then back in last night to pick it up when I learned the carrier didn't want to deliver it on the way back as she didn't want to take the truck through town with a trailer. Granted a UPS route would confuse me in the first place, not to mention a new one; so I'm not trying to degrade UPS [well, maybe the driver a bit on the trailer excuse - my PT trailer, side dump gravel trucks, hay movers, and every other configuration imaginable travels these streets regularly], only needed to vent a bit. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif On the positive side, the local dispatcher was very friendly and did call back when the driver updated him, just as he said he would. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Glad you got your full kit from PT after all. I can relate to your delivery/address problems as I usually have to explain where we are to delivery folks all the time, except for our wonderfull UPS driver who has been on this same route for over 28 years!!

My round trip to "town" (about same size as you) is "only" 12 miles but most of it is bad washboard forest road. I usually make sure I have half a dozen real important things to do before I undertake that trip.

Hope you got your pump issue taken care of in any event.

You guys living in the country do have it nice, but I can get to a hydraulic or bolt store, or welding shop or tire shop in about 10 to 30 min. How is you computer service [ ISP ]in the country. I have cable TV, and Internet, but I pay dearly for it.

Used it over an hour yesterday, and I think everything is good - but I'm still a little in "once bitten-twice shy" mode looking over my shoulder for an oil trail. The internal parts looked great, but since I had it out, thought it wise to go all the way through it.

Whether in town or at the farm, I'm about 15 to 20 miles from a city, but the only washboard road I have is 1/2 mile in town!

We have DSL in town, been very good [and no way could I go back to dial-up ]. You can only get satellite at the farm: it is as fast as dial-up, but it does have a perhaps 1/2 second link up lag for every new site.

As far as parts, I can pretty much anything I need within 1/2 hour from either place. However, my PT doesn't have ID plates on many of the components, and I do like to support PT if neither the shipping time or mark-up is completely out of line.

I have been using DirecWay satellite for about 5 or 6 years as it is only choice here other than dial-up. Generally works OK except in snow or heavy rain clouds on southern horizon.

The nasty washboard trip to Bailey gets us to post office/gas/lumber yard/couple of fair restaurants. The "big city" is Denver (about another 45 min from Bailey) with all the pros & cons such entails. Conifer is about another 20 min down the road and has supermarkets, etc. I am retired so trips to Denver are generally avoided at most any cost until I have 4 or 5 things I just have to do in town.

Real nice to have plenty of "elbow room" living in a National Forest plus clear night skys and no artificial noises. On the other hand, fire/ambulance is minimum 20 min away and wildfire is a very real and almost constant danger. This year is as dry as '02 and '00 which were the worst on record for the front range (all the snow that the ski resorts got was on the west slope and long gone now).

So.... don't start any fires.... put out the ones you do.... and wish us luck! We'll do the same.

Wildblue up here, points South - maybe the same satellite. Actually, I tried to type "as fast as DSL" not "dial-up", but if it makes me create typos like that maybe it isn't as good. No, actually that would be the laptop; the satellite ussually does hit as well or better bandwidth as the DSL, but it's link lag does annoy me.

I'll keep an eye on the fires, but the rain has been pretty even here.

Denver! Now that's a big city. To us, Sioux Falls (150K) or Watertown (25K) is the big city.
