Top 3 Signs Your PC30-5 Main Pump Needs Replacement

Don't wait for a total system failure. If your Komatsu PC20-5 excavator exhibits these symptoms, it’s time to inspect your gear pump:

1. Unusual Cavitation Noise: A high-pitched whining sound often indicates air is entering the system or the internal gears of the 705-86-14060 are worn beyond tolerance.
2. Hydraulic Drift or Slow Response: If your boom or bucket feels "heavy" or responds slowly to joystick inputs, the pump is likely failing to maintain the rated flow (GPM).
3. Increased Oil Temperature: Excessive heat in the hydraulic tank is a classic sign of internal leakage within the hydraulic pump for steering or main functions.
