so I posted a low charge pressure issue with my t200 a few days ago and I’ve traced my problem back to the pump itself. Can anyone tell me if I’m crazy thinking I can get the hydrostat unit out the front instead of pulling the engine out?
it's possible...
Any tricks on getting the drive belt pulley off While inside the machine?
thats the problem with trying to just remove the pump..... it's more work trying to do what you are doing, instead of pulling the eng and pump together.
Thats what I was afraid of thanks for the tip sir
I did something similar to this a few years ago. I got it done, but my arms looked like I had been roughed up by a crazed bobcat.
I think if I can get the pulley off I will try to leave engine in if not I’ll yank it
I would highly recommend yanking the engine, I have pulled my engine a couple times for various repairs on my S300 and its really not bad takes 2 to 3 hours to get all the electrical/hydraulic lines unhooked and it comes out really easy. It will be much easier to work on and will save you a lot more work. They are made to pull so its not as bad as it sounds, knowing how easy it is now I wouldn't try to pull the pumps out the front (probably would have tried if I never had pulled the pump/motor assembly).
Thanks for the info I’m still learning the skid steer repair world
Got pump out yesterday. Left the engine in. Took a little rigging with a cherry picker but it worked. Next time I will pull the engine
