Hydraulic Guides, Decoders and Parts Catalogs

This is the RestoPower library: every hydraulic model code decoder, identification guide, troubleshooting chart, rebuild and start-up guide, fluid and seal reference, and parts catalog we publish, sorted by the job in front of you. Identify the unit first, then find the fault, rebuild it, check the oil and seals, or look up the part in the exploded view for your series.

Covered brands: Vickers and Eaton, Char-Lynn, Parker, Denison, Rexroth, Sundstrand and Sauer-Danfoss, Oilgear, Kawasaki, Poclain, Racine and Eaton heavy duty hydrostatics. Can't find your unit? Send the model code, a photo of the tag or the part number and we will identify it: request a quote or call (810) 882-1171.

How do I identify my hydraulic pump or motor?

Read the tag first. The model code on the nameplate gives the series, displacement, rotation, shaft and seal material, and the decoders below read it field by field, brand by brand. No tag, or the tag is painted over? Start with the no-tag guide, which works from the housing, the mounting flange and the shaft.

Cross-references

Why is my hydraulic pump or motor not working right?

Work from the symptom. No pressure, noise, heat, leaks and slow or weak operation each have their own short list of causes, and the guides below give the test order that isolates the fault before you spend money on parts.

Quick answers

How do I rebuild, set up and start a hydraulic pump?

Find out why the old unit failed, rebuild it with the factory parts list and torque specs in hand, then start it with a full case and an unloaded circuit. The start-up is the step that gets skipped, and it is the one that ruins fresh rebuilds. Every parts catalog in the next section also carries the rebuild notes for its series.

Which hydraulic oil and seal material does my pump need?

Run the viscosity and cleanliness the pump maker lists for your series, and choose seal material by fluid and temperature: Buna-N for petroleum oil at normal temperatures, Viton (FKM) for higher heat, and EPDM, not Viton, for phosphate ester fluids such as Skydrol.

How do hydraulic pumps, motors and valves work?

A pump makes flow, resistance in the circuit makes pressure, and a motor or cylinder turns that flow and pressure back into work. These explainers cover each component in plain terms.

Where can I find an exploded view and parts list for my unit?

Open the catalog for your brand and series. Each one carries the factory parts breakdown for that series, as an exploded view on the page or in the factory PDF, with the part numbers and service kits to match. If your series is not listed here, the full catalog index at the end of this section has every interactive catalog we publish.
