Are you getting full voltage?

Did you warm it up and thump on the gauge?

Has anyone seen one of these these pumps? I find a lot of centrifugal pumps but no diaphragm type.

Pole building?

Depends on what I am doing and where. Working for a FD, I have seen a number of deaths from equipment rolling over. Most had ROPS and the occupant would have been fine if they had stayed in the seat. Hillsides and loss of control and despite what many say, a tractor that is rolling over will...

I would think if you had one brake adjusted a little tighter than the others it would tend to run warmer as it would be the first to engage.

I was not implying you had a problem. Rather, that an analysis would find it before it caused damage.
