Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video. I was able to pull my pump apart and everything in mine looked almost exactly like in the video. saved me a lot of money!

Thanks for the video🍺🍺. Exmark Lazer Z HP I blew out my right pump bottom seal. I opened the pump and the bearings in the swash plate was chewed up. I got all my parts from Jack’s Small Engine. I changed the bearing with the races, the top plate, & the bottom seal. I opened up the left pump, everything was good. I flushed all the lines, both drive motors, and the reservoir. It’s running good as new now. Thanks a million🙏🏿🙏🏿👍🏾

Good video with all the detail I need to rebuild mine on my Ferris. Thanks!

Well done. Very clear illustration

thanks for taking the time and making the video. I found it helpful.

great teardown on the pump!

I spent hours searching through videos and this one is the only one that uses the same pump as my Scag. Excellent video and I am now going to give it a try. The pump is already of the machine. I now feel a little more confident. Thanks fr taking the time.

John, ,thought you might find it funny but the only bit I got stuck on was removing the disk on the fan end of the shaft. I was not sure if it was threaded or just seized. Spent a few minutes trying to remove it and then thought I know check the video. Of course you start the whole process at the point where you had already removed it. :-)

Hey Bradley, I'll study the parts list for the next video! Hehe thanks for watching.

Between the bearing and the seal, is the flat washer. The c clip holds it all into the housing. What did you tighten? And how in the world did the housing break?

Hydraulic Technician here. I would HIGHLY recommend to replace ALL seals while you have the pump disassembled! You can buy a speedy speedy seal that saves you from finding a hard to find shaft. Also clean each component! NEVER assemble with dirty parts as you are allowing contaminants into your new/rebuilt pump. The fittings should also be removed to replace the orings. Other than that, good job! (It would not hurt to lap the port plate, piston barrel, pistons if not replacing them).

Very informative, Thanks!

Rather than poke holes in my fingers with seal picks, I use a set of small external snap ring pliers to get that bottom clip off. The trick is to file a flat spot on the outside of the barrel on each side of the pliers. Squeeze and spread with the snap ring pliers and THEN run your pick under the clip. No bloodshed necessary. I've used vaseoline as assemble lube for years. It's cheap, works great, and I sometimes have to point to the large jar to subtly ndicate my opinion when negotiations are heavily skewed against me.

Thank you for sharing. Your video work did give me a bit of a head spin though. :-)

There's a ton of places online. I just picked one close to save on shipping.

Super video! Thanks !

awsome .. i would replace the brass washer behind the seal thats what makes it a high pressure seal without it or a worn washer its only good for 25 psi. but great way to show people

Perfect instructions!

Good Work, but you should clean the pump from inside, outside and remove all the dust

Your my hero!!!!

Hey very nice job , great detail , especially with the "little guys and pops off" nothing left out to guess at ............................I was wondering if the seal could be changed without disassembly , always good to inspect for internal problems as well though

I have a 1970's clark 630 bobcat having drive slipping problem the hydrostattic pump?

Is that a bearing that fits into the fan so it can be mounted to the shaft or what is that?

Realistically, if you take good care of the mower and do maintenance religiously. You can get thousands of hours on a pump. But if the mower is neglected at all, you're looking at under 2000 hrs. The price of a pump is around 5-600 depending on the mower As far as cost to have one rebuilt? I'm not sure. I'd have to imagine 3-400 though. To rebuild it myself, it was well under $200 Don't be afraid to tear into one. They're way less complex than they look. Just make sure you put it back together in the same order you took it apart.

Hi.. just bought a secondhand Scag Wildcat which seemed to be in pristine shape. Got it home and of course it leaks :( It appears to be coming from the union of the top and bottom "halves" (quotes because I know the bottom is longer). I am hoping it's not the shaft seal because I'd hate to have to pull the whole thing apart already, but I noticed you didn't change the case seal. Do those tend to go bad, and/or is there any other special reason mine might be leaking from there? It did get bounced around a bit on the ride home, but nothing I wouldn't expect from regular work. Thanks!

rplaced hydrostatic pump, unit doesnt drive straight, how di yiu adjust ?

How do you take the piece off under the fan? Once the fan comes off I can’t get the round sliver thing off

You mentioned that one time you installed the charge pump cover 180 deg. Dit it not do anything at all, I’ve been trying to track down a relief valve, litte plastic ball so decided to make one with a 5/16 steel ball bearing and a spring fro an ink pen. Do you think this could work ok?

hello my name is paolo my question is what puefo tools take out the hydraulic pulley of my ferris thanks

thanks

My Cub Cadet M60 Tank has the same pumps. On mine the lower bearing was wore and let the shaft wobble enough to take out the seal. Oil dripped on the drive belt and the mower wouldnt move. My pump did not have the wear plate like yours. The pulley on the bottom is a tapered fit and man it was tight. Ended up ruining it trying to get it off. I figured maybe $20.00 for the pulley. Wrong!! It was $63.00. With the pulley and bearings and seals and new hyd filter and a new belt it ended up being around $200 to rebuild vs around $600 for a new pump.

I have a exmark front runner. My dust shield is stuck on. How do I get it off to get apart?

What is the ball and spring I lost mine and need to know what they are to get new ones

Great video I need to find out if I can buy a rebuild kit for a pump on my zero cub .

Enjoy your videos! Question regarding the Ferris in this video - When replacing hoses, do they line up the same on both sides on the pumps? In other words, does the hose with the 90 degree fitting on the bottom of the wheel motor go into the left side port (looking from rear) on both or are they reversed? The Ferris parts manual shows they are reversed, but my mower has one wheel going forward and the other going in reverse following the diagram!

@oldkicker8958

3 ай бұрын

Same question here, I installed them both lower to the left fitting as your standing at the rear of the mower and the left wheel spun in reverse so I switched them and the left now the machine works as it should. Standing behind the mower the right side hoses are lower hose to the left port at the head and the upper hose to the right side port. I have a Simplicity and their diagram shows the opposite. So the way they have it is lower left on each side which didn’t work in my case.

Got the nut off the pull but it won't come off!! Any tips?

To do it properly, you should really pull them apart and clean the internals. If you want to do it quickly, take 1 of the 2 large hoses off the wheel motor. Take the end of that hose and put it in a bucket of clean oil. With you hands, spin the tire slowly in the direction that cases the hose to suck oil from the bucket. As you spin, the clean oil will cycle through both the wheel motor and hydro pump. The dirty oil will exet through the hole on the motor you pulled the hose from. After cycling a few quarts though, I would hook the hose back up and take the other one off and repeat the process, spinning the tire in the other direction. This will insure you have fresh clean oil throughout the entire system. Good luck
