So after returning from our Christmas New Years trip 2025/2026 I noticed a layer of oil on the back of the coach as well as on my trailer. It appears to be coming from the hydraulic pump. Its not leaking a ton as the level in the tank is still fine. It may actually be a line that is leaking but I know the pump whines pretty good along with the fact that I believe no one ever changed the filter I decided to search out a new pump. I gave the part number to my buddy and he did his thing. Local hydraulic supplier sourced it for him and it was here in two days. Looks like they just assembled it, manufacture date of 2/17/26!

I am busy finishing re-plumbing my house to appease my homeowners insurance right now. When I am done with that I will be changing out this pump. I need to do a bit of research as I want to replace some of the hydraulic lines coming off of the pump while I have the system emptied. I am considering purchasing the hydraulic crimper and hose for my tractor so I may just make my own hoses, but depends. The large line that feeds the pump from the reservoir may not be worth trying to get the materials just to build that one line, but who knows. I replaced an 1-1/4" line on my tractor and it was over $300 for that one line to be made.
