PTO pump leaking fix

Mike performs a DIY repair on a leaking hydraulic PTO pump on his Kenworth T800 dump truck. He walks through the process of diagnosing the leak, removing the heavy 75-80 lb pump, and rebuilding it with new O-rings and dust seals. Mike also demonstrates a creative fix for a broken transmission bracket by welding on new grade-eight washers to reinforce the mount. Despite the cold Albany weather and messy hydraulic fluid, Mike shows the importance of sealing equipment before winter to prevent seal failure.
