It wouldn't hold pressure up or down and, after rebuilding/replacing
actuators and the dump valve, I went after the pump. In my ignorance, I
failed to disassemble the pump valve area and simply bought a new one.
Years later I did remove the shuttle valve and its components only to find that
an o-ring was worn quite thin and would have certainly allowed fluid to pass by.
I had used the old pump for some hydraulic testing, but just before the
disassembly, the motor froze up. ??? And yes, the new pump resolved
the problem.
