Introduction
This guideline enables dealers and their customers to benefit from cost reductions made
possible through an established parts reusability and salvage program. Every effort has
been made to provide the most current and relevant information known to Caterpillar Inc.
Since the Company makes ongoing changes and improvements to its products, this
guideline must be used with the latest technical information available from Caterpillar to
ensure such changes and improvements are incorporated where applicable.
For questions or additional information concerning this guideline, contact Caterpillar Service
Support Division, Dealer Support (309) 675-5156.
Glossary
Arkansas Stone: A natural stone of very fine grit used to make
precision instruments sharp and to polish
metal.
Binding: To prevent movement.
Circumferential: Like a circle.
Discoloration: Change in color.
End Play: Free movement on the centerline.
Erosion: Gradual removal of material by a stream of

liquid.
Heat Cracks: Surface cracks caused by heat.
Odd Number: 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9 etc.
Pitting: Holes caused by corrosion.
Polish: To make the surface clean and shiny.
Power Lapping: A machining process used to create a "near

new" surface flatness and finish on a part.
Previously: Before in time.
Rocking Motion: Movement on a curved surface.
Scoring: To have surface wear marks.
Smeared: Wear with material moved from one are of the

surface to another area.
Touch Lap: A method used to polish a surface.
Wear Step: Wear in which two surface levels can be felt.
Cleaning Procedure
Before a part is inspected, wash it in a clean solvent which is made from petroleum. Wash
each part separately. If several parts are washed together, there is a possibility that a
machined surface can be damaged. Use compressed air to dry off the part. Put hydraulic oil
on the part to prevent rust or corrosion. Put the part in a clean container. Use a lint-free
towel to clean the part before assembly. Be sure to put oil on all of the parts during
assembly.
Inspection Procedure
Piston pump and motor parts normally have wear patterns that can be seen but can not be
felt with a fingernail or lead pencil after the salvage procedure. This type of wear has no
effect on the performance of the part. Unless stated in this booklet, parts that have wear
patterns that can be felt with a fingernail or lead pencil after the salvage procedure can not
be used again. Throughout this booklet, the fingernail - lead pencil inspection will be used to
see if a part can be used again.

Touch Lapping Procedure

In this guideline, the touch lapping procedure is used on some parts so they can be used
again. The touch lapping procedure will not give a part a "like new" surface or surface
flatness. It is used only to remove discoloration and very small surface marks.
Use 4/0 emery polishing paper manufactured by the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing
Co., or by Norton Co., or an equivalent emery polishing paper. Put the emery paper on a
ground surface plate (7B337 Plate) so the paper is smooth. Do not use any other surfaces.
Make the emery paper wet with a clean solvent made from petroleum. Put the part on the
emery paper with the surface to be "touch lapped" on the paper. Move the part in a pattern
like a number "8". Normally it is not necessary to make more than 10 complete number "8"
patterns.
Wash the part in a clean solvent. Let the part become dry at room temperature. Put
hydraulic oil on the part and then put the part in a clean container.
When you handle or put pump and

motor parts in storage, care must be
taken to prevent damage to the
machined surfaces.
Power Lapping Procedure

Power lapping can remove wear patterns and surface scratches, providing a "near new"
surface flatness on parts. The Lapmaster pictured below can be used on a wide range of
parts that require very flat, very smooth surfaces. Power lapping can produce lap flat
surfaces within tolerances of one light band (.00295 mm or 0.000116 inch). Consistent
surface finishes of 2 to 3 RMS with absolute uniformity are easily attained.
Lapping machines are generally easy to operate. However, some very general guidelines
must be followed. The lapping plates must be checked periodically, preferably every morning
before starting production to ensure lap plate flatness for the day's run.
The slurry tank should be filled with No. 3 Lapmaster lapping vehicle or its equivalent. The
vehicle is usually purchased premixed and needs only the lapping compound to be added.
Lapmaster No. 1700 or 1800 is recommended and should be added to the vehicle at a rate
of eight ounces per gallon. The machine should be run without parts for a period of four to
six minutes. This allows the compound to mix evenly in the vehicle.
Illustration 2
Typical power lapping machine.
The parts to be lapped should be loaded inside the conditioning rings. The parts should be
free to move about within the ring, not packed such that they remain stationary. Lapping
times will vary according to the severity of the flaw to be removed. Minor scratches or warp
can usually be removed within 30 to 60 minutes. In order to inspect the flatness of the
lapped part, the dull finish caused by the lapping compound must be removed. The part
should be thoroughly washed. The lapped surface should then be polished, using 600 grit
emery paper on a 4/0 polishing stand, until it will reflect light.
A monochromatic light source and an optical flat will be required to determine flatness (see
photo).
Testing for flatness is done by reflecting the light, emitted from the Monochromatic light
head, from the surface to be checked up through the Optical Flat. Thus a series of dark
bands and light spaces are observed. The dark bands are not light rays but show where
interference is produced by reflections from the test piece in the optical flat. Inspect the light
bands for straightness. If the bands are straight and parallel, the surface is absolutely flat. If
the bands are curved, the surface is not absolutely flat but may be flat enough for your
particular needs.

Piston Slipper Thickness

Measure the thickness of the slipper face with a 0 to 25 mm (0 to 1.00 inch) micrometer. If
the dimension measured is less than the piston slipper thickness given in the chart "Use
Again Wear Specifications - Piston Slipper", the piston assembly cannot be used again.
Refer to Guideline For Reusable Parts, "Specifications for Reusable Piston Pump and Motor
Components", SEBF8033.
The slipper faces of all the pistons from a single pump or motor must be measured. There
must not be a difference of more than 0.05 mm (0.002 inch) between the largest and
smallest measurement in a set of pistons.
If a new piston assembly is used in a set with used piston assemblies and the new piston
slipper is more than 0.05 mm (0.002 inch) thicker than the other pistons in the set, the touch
lapping procedure can be used to make the new slipper thinner.
Illustration 21
Measurement of the slipper face thickness.
Piston Assembly Endplay

Check the endplay of the piston assembly with a V-block, two other pistons, a dial indicator
and a flat plate. Put the piston to be measured in the Vee of the V-block with the V-block on
the slipper back faces. Put the dial indicator into position with the pointer on the end of the
piston. Push down on the piston and set the dial indicator at zero. Pull up on the piston. If
the dimension measured is more than the piston assembly endplay given in the chart "Use

Barrel Assembly Bores

Use the following procedure to check the barrel assembly bores.
1. Wash the barrel assembly and piston in a clean solvent. Use compressed air to dry off
the barrel assembly and piston.
2. Put a piston into one of the bores to the maximum depth that the piston will go into the
bore during operation.
3. Feel for side movement of the piston in the bore. Do this for all of the bores.
If no movement or only very little side movement can be felt in all of the bores, the barrel
assembly can be used again.
Illustration 60
How to check the side movement of a piston in a barrel assembly bore.
NOTE:
Use a piston in a new barrel assembly to see how much side movement can be permitted.
If necessary, use a dial bore gauge to measure the bore diameters. See the chart "Use
Again Wear Specifications - Barrel Assembly" for the maximum bore diameter. See
Guideline for Reusable Parts, "Specifications for Reusable Piston Pump and Motor
Components", SEBF8033. If any of the bore measurements are more than the maximum
measurement given in the chart, the barrel assembly cannot be used again.
BARREL ASSEMBLY SPLINES

If no wear can be seen on the barrel assembly splines, the barrel assembly can be used
again. If necessary, use two pins and an inside micrometer to measure the splines. Put the
pins 180ø apart in the worn area of the splines. For barrel assemblies that have an odd
number of spline teeth, put the pins in splines as near to 180ø apart as possible. Use clay or
masking tape to hold the pins in position. See the chart "Use Again Wear Specifications -
Barrel Assembly" for the maximum spline diameter and pin diameters. Refer to the Guideline
for Reusable Parts, "Specifications for Reusable Piston Pump and Motor Components",
SEBF8033. If the measurement is more than the maximum given in the chart, the barrel
assembly cannot be used again.

measure the splines. Use two pins in splines 180ø apart. For those shafts that have an odd
number of spline teeth, put the pins in splines as near to 180ø apart as possible. Put rubber
bands around the pins and shaft to keep the pins in place. Refer to the chart "Use Again
Wear Specifications - Shaft Splines" in the Guideline for Reusable Parts, "Specifications for
Reusable Piston Pump and Motor Components", SEBF8033 for the pin diameter and the
use again dimension. Use an outside diameter micrometer to measure across the pins. The
crown splines must be measured at the center of the spline for the correct measurement. If
the measurement is less than the dimension given in the chart, the shaft cannot be used
again.

Piston Slipper Thickness

Measure the thickness of the slipper face with a 0 to 25 mm (0 to 1.00 inch) micrometer. If
the dimension measured is less than the piston slipper thickness given in the chart "Use
The slipper faces of all the pistons from a single pump or motor must be measured. There
must not be a difference of more than 0.05 mm (0.002 inch) between the largest and
smallest measurement in a set of pistons.
If a new piston assembly is used in a set with used piston assemblies and the new piston
slipper is more than 0.05 mm (0.002 inch) thicker than the other pistons in the set, the touch
lapping procedure can be used to make the new slipper thinner.

Barrel Assembly Bores

Use the following procedure to check the barrel assembly bores.
1. Wash the barrel assembly and piston in a clean solvent. Use compressed air to dry off
the barrel assembly and piston.
2. Put a piston into one of the bores to the maximum depth that the piston will go into the
bore during operation.
3. Feel for side movement of the piston in the bore. Do this for all of the bores.
If no movement or only very little side movement can be felt in all of the bores, the barrel
assembly can be used again.
Illustration 60
How to check the side movement of a piston in a barrel assembly bore.
NOTE:
Use a piston in a new barrel assembly to see how much side movement can be permitted.
If necessary, use a dial bore gauge to measure the bore diameters. See the chart "Use
Again Wear Specifications - Barrel Assembly" for the maximum bore diameter. See
Guideline for Reusable Parts, "Specifications for Reusable Piston Pump and Motor
Components", SEBF8033. If any of the bore measurements are more than the maximum
measurement given in the chart, the barrel assembly cannot be used again.
BARREL ASSEMBLY SPLINES

If no wear can be seen on the barrel assembly splines, the barrel assembly can be used
again. If necessary, use two pins and an inside micrometer to measure the splines. Put the
pins 180ø apart in the worn area of the splines. For barrel assemblies that have an odd
number of spline teeth, put the pins in splines as near to 180ø apart as possible. Use clay or
masking tape to hold the pins in position. See the chart "Use Again Wear Specifications -
Barrel Assembly" for the maximum spline diameter and pin diameters. Refer to the Guideline
for Reusable Parts, "Specifications for Reusable Piston Pump and Motor Components",
SEBF8033. If the measurement is more than the maximum given in the chart, the barrel
assembly cannot be used again.

Spline Measurement
If the splines have a visible wear step, the shaft cannot be used again. If necessary,
measure the splines. Use two pins in splines 180ø apart. For those shafts that have an odd
number of spline teeth, put the pins in splines as near to 180ø apart as possible. Put rubber
bands around the pins and shaft to keep the pins in place. Refer to the chart "Use Again
Wear Specifications - Shaft Splines" in the Guideline for Reusable Parts, "Specifications for
Reusable Piston Pump and Motor Components", SEBF8033 for the pin diameter and the
use again dimension. Use an outside diameter micrometer to measure across the pins. The
crown splines must be measured at the center of the spline for the correct measurement. If
the measurement is less than the dimension given in the chart, the shaft cannot be used
again.
