I just bought one of these the other day. It is a little 2500 pound articulating mini loader. Unfortunately the hydraulic pump needs to be rebuilt. Piston pump shot! It is an Eaton 70143 model. I had no idea this pump was so expensive till two days ago $3k!! I was wondering if anyone has any advice on cleaning out the hydraulic system. Once I rebuild this motor I dont want it to blow again. Ive heard two different things I should do.
First one was to go and take all the hoses off and steam clean them and all the rams.
Second was to just put a new filter on and run it, then change the filter after a few hours of use.
Also, have any of you guys ever owned or operated one of these? How were they and where could I find some info on them.
Ill try to get some pics of this thing soon.
Thanks
