Hydraulic Pump & Motor Failure Analysis — Mail-In

A pump fails. You replace it. The new one runs for six months and fails the same way. Now you've bought two pumps and you still don't know why.

The Pump & Motor Failure Analysis breaks the cycle. Here's the workflow: you ship the failed unit to Kilgore. It arrives. Within five business days, our hydraulic shop tears it down and documents every finding — wear patterns, contamination evidence, heat damage, cavitation signatures, assembly anomalies.

You receive:

• A detailed failure analysis report with photos of every relevant surface
• A root cause determination (contamination? aeration? over-pressure? misalignment? fluid incompatibility?)
• A list of contributing factors
• Repair vs. replace guidance with cost comparison
• A prevention plan — what to change so this doesn't happen again

The report is digital. The failed unit is returned to you or scrapped at your direction. The knowledge stays with you forever.

Our guys have rebuilt hundreds of pumps and motors — piston, gear, vane, bent-axis, you name it. They know what failure looks like because they've fixed every version of it.
