holyjohnson Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) are you an Independent Contractor or do you go through State or County? some State and County Road Agents can go through the Locals and get a Discounted rate on Service or Maintenance parts. i`ve been out of that sort of thing for sometime and i`m not sure how many places do that anymore.

Walt Longmire Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 Brought it home today. Ready to go. The bill was just under 2700. 1200 was labor. I got off easy. This time. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubdriver Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) Wow, that's a big nut! Ouch. I hope it remains unbroken for the foreseeable future! Glad to hear that it's back up and operational again. -Pat Edited February 12, 2020 by Cubdriver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmohme Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 That price, I assume you just stripped the splines on the pump and PTO. That's a whole lot better than shelling the pump and having to clean all the crap out of the hydraulic system! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a whole lot better than shelling the pump and having to clean all the crap out of the hydraulic system! That's exactly what happened. Took out the splines on the pto shaft and inside the pump. No collateral damage thankfully. That said, I'll be changing the filter on the hydraulic system after the next haul anyway. I was concerned about pto parts in the transmission as I was driving it from the job to the shop. Today I'm dealing with the frozen load in the box. It's inside my warm shop, so sometime today I'll back it out and dump it. Tried yesterday when I got home, but it had been outside several hours already and then drove 30 miles home in 10 degree weather. Stuck to the box. I tried getting Western with it, and hitting the Humper Dumper body vibrator but it was a no go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to an auto parts store and get some of the grease that is used in CV joints on front wheel drive cars. Take your hydraulic pump loose and lube the splines with that. It's kind of a PITA, but if you do that ever few months, those splines will last a lot longer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
