Got a Parker UHT on a mower they chatters pretty violently when under load and warm. Tore it apart and it appears the parts that are toast are not serviceable.
New pump/motor combo is $2200 from Toro.
I have 3 options as I see it.
1. Free. I have a mill and lathe. I can dress these parts up, but worry with mill/lathe tooling the finish won't be good enough.
2. Few hundred bucks maybe and take to a machine shop with a surface grinder. I'm 99% sure this would suffice, but hard to justify throwing away $200 if it don't. And this doesn't address any issues that may have occurs in the wheel motor.
3. But the $2200 and that replaces the whole pp/motor combo.
Looking for feedback because all I have ever dealt with before is separate pumps and motors, and having replaceable wear parts.
Apparently letting the "rotating group" as Parker calls it ride/seal right on the cast iron housing was a good idea instead of a replaceable brass ring.
None of these parts can be purchased separately.
Pictures are hard to convey damage in 2d form, but here they are
