Spent $1,200 on a new hydraulic pump for the old 8-inch cutterhead and it's still shaking like crazy
I was sure the vibration on the dredge was from the old pump, so I bit the bullet and got a new one from a supplier in Mobile. Put it on last week and the whole frame still rattles when you hit hard clay. Now I'm thinking it's the cutterhead bearings, which is a much bigger job. Anyone else had a pump swap not fix a shaking problem?

My old truck had a wobble at 55 mph. I replaced the tires, then the rims, and it turned out to be a bent axle flange. It's always the last thing you check. That kind of chasing a problem from one part to the next happens with all kinds of machinery, not just dredges. You fix the obvious thing and the real issue is still waiting.
