And now someone told me it was probably caused by the wrong hydraulic oil. I use “General Purpose” hydraulic oil from Tractor Supply. What is everyone using for hydraulic oil????

My last question on this thread is, could an air leak in the intake line to the pump cause it to fail?

Thanks Tommy. Jerry told me it might be a good idea to put hydraulic oil in the inlet pipe so that the pump doesn't run dry or for the least amount of time. I intend to do this. I heard a pump can burn up in less than 30 seconds of dry run.

Would that be a seal inside the pump? Hey my friend, I really appreciate you help.

My pump is dead. If it died from the gears disintegrating, can I expect metal in my hydraulic system? I'm ordering a pump and can anyone tell me if the pump exchange is difficult? Any cautions? Must the pump be primed somehow?

Latest development is that nothing is happening now. No sucking nor any foaming. Just nothing. What else can I do except get a new pump???

Next question is: Is it much of a job to replace the hydraulic pump?
