Not only do we rebuild and remanufacture hydrostatic pumps, we also repair motors, cylinders, valve banks and other hydraulic components.

Is this part broken?

That is one of the questions you end up asking yourself over and over during a rebuild.

This retaining ring came out of a unit we were tearing down. At first glance, somebody might look at it and say, “It’s still in one piece. Put it back in.”

But rebuilding equipment is not just about finding the parts that are obviously destroyed.

You have to look at everything that comes apart. Is it worn? Is it distorted? Are the edges damaged? Can it be cleaned up and polished? Can it be repaired properly? Or is this one of those parts where you stop thinking about saving a few dollars and just replace it?

Those judgment calls are a big part of rebuilding hydraulic equipment.

Anybody can take something apart and put the same pieces back together. The work is deciding which pieces deserve to go back in.

When we button one up, the goal isn't simply to make it work again.

The goal is better than new.

That takes a little more time, a good eye, and occasionally throwing a part in the scrap bin that technically “could have” gone another round.

What would you do with this one? Polish it, repair it, or replace it? Texas Fluid Power - Hydraulic Repair Services

Last time I posted these, I asked whether they were coming or going.

Well, here’s the answer.
These units were just starting the rebuild process. A lot happened between that first picture and what you see here. Tear down, inspection, repair, prep, paint, reassembly and now testing before we call them finished.

The fresh black paint makes them look good, but that isn’t what makes me happy. I want to see them on the test stand doing exactly what they’re supposed to do before they head back out the door.

Anybody want to change their answer from the last post?

I went through all the pictures. The part I like is that the finished Kawasaki almost makes the job look easy. It definitely wasn’t.

This one came in looking like it had earned its keep. Once it was apart, the real work started. Everything gets broken down, cleaned up, the control surfaces get polished, and all those little internal pieces get laid out where you can actually see what you’re working with. That middle part of a rebuild is where the job really happens.

Then it all starts going back together. By the time it’s finished, painted and sitting on the bench, you’d never know what it looked like when it showed up.

I’ve always liked jobs like this because the before and after pictures only tell half the story. The real work is in the middle.

Anybody else like seeing the teardown pictures more than the finished product?

Busy week at Texas Fluid Power - Hydraulic Repair Services, so here’s a quick one. A full pallet of hydraulic pumps.
Are they coming in for repair… or heading back out ready to work?

Take your best guess.

You can usually tell a lot about a unit before you ever pull the first bolt.

This little guy came in with enough warning signs that I was not expecting it to be clean inside. I figured we were going to find some wear, contamination and a few parts that had seen better days.

Sure enough, once we opened it up, there was plenty of evidence explaining why it was not doing its job.

I have heard these words more times than I can count:
“It was working yesterday.”

Hydraulic equipment usually does not go from running perfectly to completely dead without giving you some kind of warning.

It starts making a little more noise. Running a little hotter. Moving a little slower. Maybe a cylinder starts drifting or a hose begins to sweat.

The problem is the machine is still running, so everybody keeps running it.
I get it. Work has to get done.

But there is a big difference between a machine that is running and one that is running right.

Those little changes are usually the machine telling you something is wearing out, getting contaminated or about to let go.

Catching it early might mean a hose, a seal or a small repair.

Ignoring it might mean a full shutdown and a much bigger bill.

What is the warning sign you see people ignore the most?

This right here is the kind of work I love.

It is dirty, heavy, frustrating and sometimes takes a whole lot longer than you planned. You chase one problem, find another, pull it apart, clean it up and keep digging until it finally makes sense.

There is no shortcut to this kind of work. It takes busted knuckles, long hours and people who actually care whether it leaves the shop right.

Some people see a pile of valves and wires. I see a challenge, and I still get a kick out of bringing something like this back to life.

Big chrome on the floor today.

We’ve got a telescopic cylinder job in the shop, or at least the major stages of one laid out where you can really see what makes these things work. When you look at them together like this, it’s a good reminder that “just a cylinder” can mean a whole lot of steel, chrome, seals, threads, fit, finish, and patience.

Telescopic work is a different animal. Everything has to be straight, clean, measured right, and put back together the way it was meant to be. One bad surface, one damaged thread, one seal cut on install, and you’re doing the job twice.

This is the kind of work I like seeing in the shop. Heavy parts, tight tolerances, and a rebuild that has to hold up when it goes back out in the field.

That shiny chrome looks nice, but the real test is when it’s back under pressure. Texas Fluid Power - Hydraulic Repair Services

This one has had a hard life.

You can always tell when a valve stack has been working in the real world. Paint beat off, fittings changed, rust starting, oil everywhere, and still somebody was probably asking it to make one more job.

That is hydraulic equipment.

It will take a beating for a long time, but it will not forgive dirty oil, heat, bad seals, or worn internal parts forever.

A valve like this can look rough on the outside and still be repairable. The important part is what is going on inside. Are the spools free? Are the bores scored? Are the seals gone? Is it bypassing internally? Is contamination making it stick?

That is where the problem usually is.

We see a lot of these come in after the machine starts acting up. Slow functions, drifting cylinders, heat building up, or one section not responding right. By that point, the valve has usually been telling you something for a while.

Tear it down. Clean it right. Inspect it right. Fix what needs fixing.

That is how you get old equipment back to work. Texas Fluid Power - Hydraulic Repair Services

Fighting the Texas heat today!

This fan is earning its keep in the shop.
We still have work to get out, but in this heat you have to be smart. Drink plenty of water, take a break when you need one, and keep an eye on the guys around you.

No job is worth someone getting overheated.

Stay safe out there. Texas Fluid Power - Hydraulic Repair Services
