Default Been there..

I've pretty much done everything you can with that hydraulic system, (2007 TM 40C).

For mine, the pump was located in the basement, in front of the water heater. I (VERY!) carefully documented every wire, hose, bolt, connection, and then removed the pump. (Difficult as it weighs 20-30 lbs or so and requires a bit of contortions to get to it...) Used plastic to 'cap' the hoses, after marking what went where, disconnected the electrical, (careful, I THINK the battery cut off opened the circuit..), then pulled the pump out. I removed the electric motor, (again, carefully as it has a cam attachment that was no fun to replace..) I then took the pump to a hydraulic repair shop where they redid all the seals. That cost about $100. Reverse the process of removing and it's worked great since. One more thing, if you have any 'bubbling' of your hydraulic lines, now would be a good time to replace them...
