Pretty sure I lost the hydraulic pump this afternoon. Few weeks ago I noticed my 53 seemed to be short a little grunt in the loader hydraulics. Today started off cutting g a parking lot and loading trucks. As the day wore on my loader functions got slooowwweerrrr and it the loader would lift less and less. The loader won't lift more than about a third of a bucket of dirt, it won't break out of a pile with a full bucket using lift or tilt. When cutting grade is stiff clay soil it reached the point it wouldn't pull out of a 8" cut.
Got a set of gauges to put on it tomorrow to check pump pressure for certain. How big of a job is it to replace the cartridge in the pump?
Thanks
