Not to continue this thread which has reached its end (as I continue a comment) I was scratching my head why I had that extra "end seperator" part.... Today, I took the first pump (of the two tied together) off and took it apart. I don't know the what and why, but internally it's slighly...

Ok, well....here comes the update. If you want blow by blow, keep reading. If you want "just the facts mam", I figured it out. The center blades are the weakest. I have two rebuild kits on the way but, one (unopened) in my hand, so let's look at the worst offender first. Here is the...

Yes, pump has two sections. One (I think it's rated 2,500 PSI) feeds "passenger side" wing, which works POORLY, and the feeds the "drivers side" wing, which cuts VERY well. Other line (I think it's 1,500 PSI) feeds center blades and they suck. lol I might have that backwards, it might be one...

For posterity if nothing else, I'll try to take some pictures as I remove, disassemble and put back together.

The holes where the impellers are held, I presume. My recollection is they are flat bottom and do NOT go completely through the body. I do recall very small edges 'cut' / formed/ in some of the pieces and I was able to get all that aligned. My problems were when I put the halves back...

Question.... Part #8 has what I'll call a flat side and the opposite side has a bit of a slope/angle to it. Not huge, let's call it a bit of a wedge shape. Given I paid no attention to these when I originally took motors apart, I don't know if they go "up or down". When I put back together...

Just spent 20 minutes in garage looking for the two extra rebuild kits (I rebuilt all three motors, had this issue, bought three more rebuild kits BUT, only did one so should have two unopened kits in garage) I've not yet found them BUT, I did come across what appears to be the "original"...

Sorry I disappeared. After this funeral (my wife's cousin), my father (95) went to hospice and finally passed. (he had a fantastic life) Anyway, this cropped up in my head and I have a vague memory. Going to attach a PDF that shows the schematic of the motors. I had rebuilt these (my first...

terrain king, circa mid 80's ???

different. im out of state currently (attending funeral today) as i recall center was 1500 psi (only motor in circuit) and wings are 2500 psi in shared circuit...or vice-versa. they each attach to a block that is attached to motor. just realized i might be able to swap them to see if that...

no valves. have 3 gauges, needles bounce all over. ran over one so it needs fixed. discovered low on oil, maybe thats it....filled up, "burped" it, went to crank up to pto speed, a one half inch piece blew out of the channel holding filter seal so now waiting on replacement housing to arrive...

new filters, new pressure reliefs (presuming they sent correct psi, which i think they did)

I don't know anything about them but I'd want a frame mounted verses 3-pt mounted.

In case someone nails me for not giving all the facts (pump attached to 540 might not be sufficient input) The pump is attached to a speed increaser that takes the 540 up in speed, by a factor of 4 and that is what the pump hangs onto.

I've got this 15' flexwing that is powered by hydraulics which are powered by the 540 shaft and a pump. Has three hydraulic motors, one for each blade. The right side rotates clockwise, the center and left side, both rotate counter clockwise. They are considered (I believe) a geared motor...
