My excavator hydraulic pump EXPLODED!!!

[@Spitter-ud8jd]

Great video! How hard was it to get parts for it? I love those old Yamar's and would love to buy the same exact machine. How much did you pay for it. It's a perfect size and nice and easy to work on. The only thing it needs is a hydraulic thumb.🍻

[@sweetrigstv9520]

Seems like it’s hit or miss on parts pump parts came from china but other than that you can still get oem parts I have a manual thumb but I will be adding a hydraulic one at some point. I paid too much but I say that about everything thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it

What kind of oil did you use, i want to replace mine but im getting mixed reviews

[@sweetrigstv9520]

@@BrianG-xj4nu whatever oil tractor supply has you could ask 100 people what oil to use and get 100 different answers I’ll check and see if I have any empty ones and let you know what I used

Check your valve body, could be sticking or bad seal. Least it didn't do more damage. Nice machine though.

Good old uchida pump. I ordered a rebuild kit from china for mine local hydraulic shop was useless

[@sweetrigstv9520]

That’s what I had to do also

[@christophermendoza1140]

They really don’t give you any warning when they self destruct sucks when they do that worst part is sending brass and metal through the system . I used dc heavy hydraulics in South Carolina for my hydraulic pump on my cat 320c really good people to deal with they take care of shipping for you real easy just some info for you good luck !

[@sweetrigstv9520]

Thanks for the info but even the best shops that claimed they could fix or find any pump couldn’t fix it they said no parts were available being gray market

[@8osWeReTheBest]

I hate that. when that swashplate blew sideways it destroyed your pump totally! That open side with the clip did exactly what it's supposed to to keep from splitting the housing.

[@sweetrigstv9520]

Yes I think the shaft broke first as I lost my left drive when I spun the house 180 to pick it up and check it out I lost the rest of my hydraulics thanks for watching
