Hi Scott,
Why did you change the hydraulic pump? I'm asking as I'm just replacing the pump drive shaft (an Eaton Vickers pump) as the splines were badly worn, the drive gear (which also does the transfer pump on the timing cover front) splines were worn internally too, so I am replacing as a matching new mating pair, this gear is a Cat part, interestingly I asked my Cat dealer how many were in stock? 36 in the USA and 19 in the European warehouse so it looks like its a much used part!! and an easy job to replace too.
The replacement gear supplied by the UK Cat dealer from Belgium held stock ordered Wednesday 14/10/20 8.30AM in my hand in London 1.30PM Thursday! Genuine Cat part (made in India)
Regards
Ian
