Initially brought it in because it stopped on me and had to pull that bitch up on the trailer by myself. Right after that I broke my ribs and didn't have time to look at it. Plus I physically couldn't with my ribs.

Sorry to hear about ribs and mower. I bet that was a load getting it onto a trailer yourself. I had already started worrying about that myself.

I have a 2 ton chain hoist in my lawn mower room. Was going to rig it up to pull my scag onto trailer if needed.

That hurts about as much as the ribs I bet.

So it depends on how much time you have on your hands to replace the seals yourself or buy new pumps. Or you could buy new ones now, replace the seals in the old pumps later and sell them.

Good idea and I have planned on doing something similar. Will tell you what I have decided in next post so this will not be so long.

Thanks.

Thanks for the advice from both of you.

I have just removed everything. I removed the pulley and hub. Both of those are still in good shape...will reuse those. Drive belt is still in good shape.

Idler pulley has a little movement...took it off so I can go ahead and replace it while I am under the mower.

Pump is off. Shaft is sitting at an angle now. Is that bad?

So I am ordering a new pump.

I am going to donate my old pump to local high school small engine class. If they can fix it I will pay for parts and have it on hand if my other hydraulic pump goes out. If not, the class gets to have a pump to break down and examine in class.
