Not sure where in nova scotia you are but i replaced the pump on my timberjack not that long ago i think it was around four hundred at hawbolts in trenton .is yours on the front of the engine or on the side .because if it is on the front you have to make sure you get the pump with the proper rotation .if it was right on the motor i have one or two in the shop . if you were not to far away i am in pictou county

I just put one on my TJ 610 a few weeks ago.  I think it was less than $500 through timberparts in sussex.  It took us about 3 or 4 hrs to change.  Mine was cracked and leaking.

I think that was a Cessna pump an it was around 28 GPM.I would go with Timberparts because the guys are real good on forestry equipment.

   Hey Atlantic Trader when your looking at an experienced machine, check out the mechanical linkage.  Last year I thought the "ol Doll" was on her last legs for sure. Blade would hardly lift,engine weak. Makes you fell kinda disgusted. Anyway got pokin around and realized how there seemed to be slop.

The wear on the lever was nothing compared to the pins. When I rebuilt everything and put it back together I was a happy camper. The hydraulics were so fast they scared me and the inch I gained on the throttle brought a smile from ear to ear .  Just something to aware of.  :)
