        Rhino 344 with hydraulic pumps for FEL and power steering. Engine oil has been rising on the dipstick. Suspecting the hydraulic pumps are leaking into the engine. Any information on seals for replacement? Part numbers? Also, is there a way to replace them with a faster and cost effective pump? FEL and bucket can be pretty slow. Tractor is in central Alberta, Canada. Thanks for any help.

          Contact Tommy at Affordable Tractor, he has the scoop on the hydraulic pumps and parts.

          “Faster and cost effective” should not be used in the same sentence :yahoo:  The bigger faster pumps cost more money than the replacement parts for the original pump, or another original type pump.

          Also, I believe he has an updated loader valve. Sounds like you need a valve with regen.

            Thanks for the contact with Tommy.  Could you provide a little more info on “valve with regen.?”

              The regen (regeneration) function is when a valve block has spool ports that open both lines of a cylinder(s) to each other, through a detent, so the hydraulic oil passes between both sides of the piston without having to return to the reservoir. The resulting action dumps the bucket almost immediately. These are available from many sources, but I think Tommy has made up a valve specifically for some Chinese tractors.
