reasonable price to rebuild cat pump

[steveh 14]

Could anyone tell me a reasonable price tp pay to have a cat pump (4.6 Gpm) rebuilt? the casing and all seem to be in good shape,also could the unloader valve cause pump to go bad. I only have 800 or so hours on machine and I thought Cat was the best. Ive never had a problem with cavitation,and take care of servicing it just like its my living,,cause it is. Thanks in advance for your time and advise!!

Teh last couple of times I found it was cheaper to buy a new pump. I run a TS 2021. I tried an Anno Reverbi. I was supposed to be cheaper. It cost more because it did not hold up near as well as the TS 2021.

This advice is worth exactly what you paid for.

What leads you to believe the pump needs rebuilding? And what model Cat is it?

Russ, if it is a Cat, it needed rebuilding when it rolled down the assembly line:)

I know...it doesn't start with U and end with DOR, huh?

I'm not saying, I'm just saying.

Cat pumps are the best!!! It sounds like you may have something stuck in 1 of the valves. Open up the cap and take the valve out and check the spring.

What nozzle are you using to test?

I've gone through several of those AR pumps too, wasn't at all happy with them. One of my machines runs a very old Cat that still runs fine. Had to replace the unloader a few years back (5?). The other machines run Generals... never had a single problem with those.

According the the manufacturer of my rig " the Cat 3CP pump with a clutch is simply the best in the industry".I just change the oil at regular intervals and don't leave pressure on it when its off. No problems so far.
