I will be following this thread. Many of us have 44s as well as 41s, I would guess that has affected the operation of your pump?
It would be interesting to know if a hydraulic shop can "Parkerize" it, and lap it smooth, or have a machine shop (crank or camshaft experts?) rebuild it to specs?
You would not be the only one with this situation, being these units are so old.
One wonders if a new one is floating about in the inventory of a dealer somewhere.
Keep us posted on any progress please. JM

Thank you for the offer of the hydraulic 44 unit. I'll keep that in mind. It is the distance from me.
That is not my hydraulic unit, just posted it to show they come up. Where are you located? I may have a valve assembly but it will be a few days before I have time to look.

Thanks, for the response.
Yes, if would find value, let me know.
I'm in northern Minnesota.
Thanks again

What is the condition of the cartridge (pump) and input shaft, just wondering since the spool is so pitted.

Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
