Laymore Backhoe Gear Pump Seal Repairs

We have a small Laymore backhoe. Last year after having the piston pump seals replaced, the gear pump started leaking oil like a sieve. We've had Jenny resting since then. But now, we are getting ready to start trenching for the french drain we have to install in order to stop the water infiltration into the floor of the house (at least we hope to stop it with the exterior french drain).


The gear pump attaches to the piston pump (red).


View from the bottom - this is all the oil dripping after sitting for months without being started. Most of the hydraulic oil has leaked out already.


The gear pump has been removed. After looking up the part number - we have an Eaton gear pump.






Seals removed, part numbers identified. Now to just find the seals - hopefully they are not expensive.
