$5900...

Just kidding.

If you were to repair that shaft today, if it was removed from the motor, the cost would be less than $600.00. I would think it that the price in Georgia would be less.

Just trying to help the guy decide what to do. You have to take into account the labor cost and seals to rebuild the pump. If its a tram it is pretty complicated. If the cost is anywhere near a new pump, I would try a field repair and if it doesnt last, but a new one and have the old for a spare parts. Sucks either way. Sometimes you have to bite the bullet. Rebuilding the old pump has a higher chance of an assembly error and it doesn't look like an easy job to R/R the pump a second time. Just my 2 cents

Removing the pump on my machine, takes about 30 minutes. It’s not that difficult on the over unit. You just removed the cover plate, which is where your feet goes two bolts on either side of the pump to slide it out of the bracket that holds it the linkage which is three bolts, and then the hardest part is removing the hoses and marking them not too difficult on this machine I love how basic these machines are. My wife actually wants me to just go and buy a new one, but I’m not sure I wanna shell out that much money. I guess the tram pump on this is the most expensive repair for this unit. I bought the other pump before and it was around $600. The engine is about $2500 .

I’ve worked out all the bugs on this thing, I know it’s quirks it’s idiosyncrasies and what it will and will not do. I also know what i can and cannot do with it. ( there is a difference if you know what i mean). i’ve use it to do so many things that it has become more than a pieces of equipment, it has almost become like an extension of who I am and the thought of me possibly selling and getting rid of it and not having it anymore would be a major setback for me. I would have to relearn how to do so many things and buy so many other pieces of equipment just to replace that one.
Its funny to say it but I believe that 2425 or something similar to it in the Power Trac line We have a permanent place in my life until I pass. It has become indispensable here on my property and I have and will continue to use it to help other people .I guess it has actually become part of who I am.
My wife calls it my girlfriend, can you imagine????? Lol.
Sorry about my rambling

My wife calls it my girlfriend,

No wonder she wants you to get rid of it for a new one.

She isn’t jealous she just doesn’t want me to spend so much time and money on this one and it not be reliable. But its cheaper than buying a new unit i think.

My wife said the same thing to me when I had an oil leak. I should have taken her up on it.

Sorry to hear that you were leaking oil.

Doubtful PT made their own. No identifying markings on it anywhere?

It actually looks similar to a pump that’s on a Scagg STHM. I’m going to compare them because I have one on my other mower. If it’s the same one then I’m going to look around and try to find one on marketplace. They’re older machines, but they usually Have the engines go out on them before the pumps do before the pumps do

No, they don't make their own pumps. As I recall, they are (at least mine from 2001) is made by Bondioli & Pavesi.
