Bring it to Bob's place, he's got a nice new 24'x30' garage!
Did they ever completed that road you contracted out to the Cat dozer guy? I nearly had a heart attack watching the video you posted where the Cat dozer was near the edge of the cliff?
Ben,
What is the engine rpm you use that provides you with the best results for operating your backhoe with the new Prince pump? With my old pump gearbox setup it is around 1500 rpm.
That's great news Ben! Take a video and post it on youtube and then add the youtube link to your next post.
Enjoy your new toy!
Ben,
If you look at post #77 from Streetrod (Stephan) and post #88 from Bob Rooks mentions only to change the ends of your present hose to fit the new Prince pump.
That's great that the dealer refunded you with the price of the new pump! Let us know the final verdict once you've got everything up and running!
Ben/Stephan,
I'm sure you've asked yourself on many occassions why the pump shaft seal is not holding up!? Why is there so much pressure at the pump that causes the pump shaft seal to release!? Once Stephan installed the Prince pump why didn't he encounter any issues!? You've tried reversing the hoses, modifying the pump and you've tried various ways to mount pump gearbox to the PTO…what can be causing this problem!? Can it be that there is some serious design issues with the pump gearbox setup!? Is there a piece miissing on the gearbox to keep pressure on the pump shaft seal!? How can this be determined without spending a whole lot of money!? All to say that you'll probably never find out and that can be quite frustrating…but don't lose any sleep over it!
It looks like the Prince pump is the direction to go to solve the chinese bachoe pump gearbox issue. Thanks for posting your issue and I can tell you that once I start having problems with my backhoe pump gearbox, I'll definitely immediately switch over to the Prince pump.
