When a hydraulic pump breaks down, some parts are replaced with new ones, and some are re-used. So, the IH has taken the liberty of introducing (for the first time ever, might I modestly add...) the following incomplex chart, based on the fact that it is the amount of the replaced parts that characterizes the rebuild. Note that the table is to be completed according to "user preferences" and seals, naturally, are omitted as parts...

Quantity of replaced parts	Brief parts description	Verbalized as...
0	N/A	Piece of cake
1-5	Some rotary group parts	Don't worry, man, it could've been worse
6-20	Complete rotary group	Sorry about that, buddy, really sorry...
21-30	Rotary group plus the shaft and the swash-plate mechanism	It looks like you are in deep ______
More than 30	All internal parts, plus the endcover	Holy _____, dude!
N/A, since no parts are reusable (example to the left), what you need is a new pump	Seriously, dude, NO PARTS CAN BE REUSED, what you need is a NEW PUMP	Holy ____ing _____ ______!!!

These pictures are a perfect illustration of how a hydraulic pump belonging to the last category should look like. Note the cracked housing - not much you can do here...

My personal favourite is the pic.5.
