Cat 246b Charge pump test

3bilgepumps · 2020-09-27 10:08

Could someone tell me the method of testing the pressures on the hydrostatic drive charge pump? The machine serial is around PAT02400 I’m not 100 percent which port it is. And I don’t know what pressure I’m looking for. Also need to know if it’s just tested at idle, or even jacked up and in forward etc. thanks in advance

    Thanks for the reply, I don’t have any way to measure flow,but if I set rpm at 2000 and check the pressure should that confirm the charge pump is working as it should?

    If you have a tachometer or some other accurate method of measuring speed that ought to work.
