Removal (Fig. 36)
CAUTION
Before continuing further, read and become fa-
miliar with General Precautions for Removing
and Installing Hydraulic System Components.
1. Before removing any parts from the hydraulic sys-
tem, park machine on a level surface, engage parking
brake,lower cuttingunits andstop engine.Removekey
from the ignition switch.
2. Label all hose connections for assembly purposes.
3. Clamp pump inlet hose to prevent draining the hy-
draulic reservoir.
4. Loosen hose clamp and remove pump inlet hose
from the gear pump. Allow clamped hose to drain into a
suitable container.
5. Disconnect hydraulic hoses from fittings on bottom
of the gear pump. Allow hoses to drain into a suitable
container. Plug hoses to prevent contamination.
IMPORTANT: Note position of hydraulic fittings for
assembly purposes.
6. Mark hydraulic fitting orientation to allow correct as-
sembly. Remove hydraulic fittings and O--rings from
gear pump.
7. Support gear pump toprevent it from shifting. Sepa-
rate gear pump from the piston pump by removing both
socket head screws and flat washers. Remove O--ring
from between the gear pump and piston pump.
NOTE: Acasedrainexistsin thep iston (traction)pump
and a suction port is near the input shaft of the gear
pump (Fig. 37). When the gear pump is removed from
the piston pump, plug piston pump case drain hole to
prevent draining the piston pump.
8. Discard all removed O--rings.
Installation (Fig. 36)
1. MakesuremountingandO--ring sealingsurfaceson
the gear pump and piston pump are clean.
2. LubricateandplacenewO--ring(item11)onthegear
pump.
3. Position gear pump to the piston pump so that the
pump inlet is facing up.
4. Secure gear pump to the piston pump with two (2)
socket h ead screws and flat washers.
5. Inspect threadsandsealing surfacesof hydraulicfit-
tingsandhydraulichoseconnectors.Replace anydam-
aged or worn fittings or hoses.
6. Lubricate and place new O--rings onto gear pump
hydraulic fittings. Install fittings into pump openings

7. Remove plugs that were placed during disassembly
from hydraulic hoses.
8. Usinglabelsplacedduringgearpumpremoval,lubri-

mation section of this chapter).

10.Remove clamp from pump inlet hose to allow hy-
draulic oil flow to the gear pump.
11.Check oillevelin hydraulicreservoirand addcorrect
