    Matt, when rebuilding hydraulic and injection pumps and anything with precision fit, act like your going into surgery. Before disassembly, cap it and hit it with the parts washer big or little, bc dirt is your enemy. I used to rebuild those Stanadyne pumps and cleanliness is the easiest thing you can do for the job. Thanks for bringing us along, it makes the days go much easier.

    Hidden leak for sure. Former hydraulic designer here, a common problem is that the return filter for the "free return" is clogged and that builds pressure that push the shaft seals out. Had many farmers forgetting to connect the return hose to their tractor as well, or it popped loose during seeding. That machine might have a return filter, worth checking..

    Hey Matt, I worked for a concrete sub most of my life doing roadwork over here in Ohio and most of the concrete suppliers use conveyors for the stone and sand in their batch plants. They have to replace those conveyor belts occasionally, they’re usually rubber belting 24” wide by however long. They would offer those to us if we had a need, because we used them all the time they were usually free but those belts have a number of uses. They’re great for rolling out on the concrete floor if we were driving heavy equipment in and out of our shop, especially with tracked equipment. Just a thought if you’d be interested in checking something like that out.

    Dear Matt, I happen to be an hydraulic service engineer. And the most important thing about sustaining hydraulics is cleanliness. That means: change filters at least annually and never, and I mean never!! leave lines or parts open for extended periods of time. Furthermore, the best part of hydraulics is that it's very reliable. The down part of hydraulics is that it's very reliable. Users tend to neglect maintenance because it always works. Until it doesn't and then you're in for a treat.. Don't extend filter replacements just because the clogging gauage isn't in the red yet. If it is in the red, the filter is already bypassing and dirt/particles are doing damage.

    Matt, one thing I’ve always wondered about your ADHD vs. my ADHD. How do you manage to keep track of, and get back to completing your projects? I love getting into the project, and I find my share of diversions along the way, but I struggle to finish them. You obviously have many balls in the air, and yet you’re able to make progress on all of them and get them done. It always impresses me when you jump forward several weeks amidst a project video and you’re able to start where you left off and complete the job. That’s a real challenge for me as I usually end up with multiple unfinished projects nagging at me. You’re an inspiration.

    Not sure just how long it is that I've been watching you Matt - it's certainly several years and yet you came out with - "We're goan t'need t'fix that!" - which could easily be your best tag for this channel! Even with the expensive rebuild of the motor and extra works - $15,000 cost seems good value - especially bearing in mind what stuff is reaching at auction across the pond. As for the noise making benefits of living out of town - one of my last jobs before retiring was in south London (might have mentioned it when you laid your shop floor) we powerfloated part of ours at 02:30 after the concrete company delivered late. Man's gotta do, what a man's gotta do eh?

    I think I would change the hose restraint at the drum. It appears it could be straightened and tightened to keep the hoses inside the machine perimeter to protect them from contacting anything driving by.

    It would be wise to check the drive motor on the other side of the drum to check that it's seal is not leaking too. It is great living away from everyone else so that you can work late. I do that a lot. Excellent video Matt.

    With as much road maintenance you need on your property, I think it is a great addition to your fleet. The pump was an expensive rebuild, but you did say you got a good deal on this so I assumed you factored in the cost of the repair in the overall price of the unit. Love the video Matt. Really enjoy your ability to just dig in and do it on whatever you are working on. All the best.

    Just want to say thank you for taking us along for the ride very week, Matt. I know it takes a lot of time out of your day. My father was a heavy machinery field mechanic twenty years ago before an accident took his life, so I only have fleeting memories of him working on equipment. I just recently got to bring home his tools that have been in storage for twenty years because I now have a space for them to keep them safe, and watching your content has taught me a lot of what he was never able to. I'm itching to finally get my first project, so I can continue learning. Thank you.

    Motor is a radial piston. Pistons are connected to a swash plate. Hydrostatic motors are built the same except the swash plate angle is variable. This variability gives you more or less ground speed.I'm sure Wes or Scrappy can give you a much more indepth description. AL B.

    Talking about tight tolerances in hydraulic pumps. A company I worked for many years ago made all sizes of ball headed pistons for Vickers. When the machining was complete the balls were lapped to a tolerance of 50 millionth round both radially and spherically. I forget the surface texture fallout but glass smooth. Dirt will be the enemy of that assembly.
