    3208T Cat 250hp Injector Pump

    Thank you Senor Pump Guy, I'll 'give it a go as you suggest. I have a question you may know the answer to ..... If i replace an individual pump unit (9N7527?), would calibration be necessary? or are they all pretty much EXACTLY the same? (practically speaking). There's quite a few being sold on...

    3208T Cat 250hp Injector Pump

    580CK - 33 backhoe hose D42601

    Case Backhoe 33 - Control Valve to Manifold hoses (x4) - p/n D42601 - 18 1/2" Long. I have to replace a couple of these hoses and I thought I'd do all 4 while I'm at it as the others look a tad 'ratty' also. Apparently, there are only 4 of these in the entire US currently (11/25/2019) and are...
