valve plate is horrible. charge pump toast. any and any marks dis colorization haze at all on the valve plungers? especially on the sides?
2014 RTV X1100C will not move. Hydraulic Oil foaming, HST? Transmission?

Ok great. I'll order a charge pump. Plates have already been replaced. I know it's hard to see in the picture but the plungers have slight discoloration on the top but not the sides at all. They all still look beautifuly polished top and sides. Same with the block itself. It looks perfect. Not even a scratch
that is good news. you should be up and running soon i would think
I just had a similar problem. I would check your charge pressure before putting new pump on, might save you some money if you have good charge pressure. Not sure exactly where your port is, but I was able to get a hydraulic gauge that screwed right into the port, so didn't have to buy hose adapters. I'll post the link if I dig it up.
fill it up and start the engine it should prime. if it doesn't try putting oil in the suction filter.
the hst transaxle is both a hydrostat and a gear transmission. with the gear lever in neutral if you push the foot peddle down the hst will spin just as if you are going down the road. i always warm up my hst by running the peddle down just a little so the pumps and valve blocks allcirculate unloaded for a little while.
i assume that you used plenty of assembly lube? white lithium grease? on all moving parts?
did ya git it all fixed up?
Nope. I'm back to square one. Ran it for 10 min with a slight acceleration, Put it in gear and nothing. Looked in the HST tank under the seat and the oil if super foamy. And hardly moving. After I fixed the air leak last time I could at least see the oil flow g through the tank. I'm completely lost now.
well at least you know that the parts you fixed needed fixing so that wasn't a loss. now remind me ???? are there some extra valves for hydraulics in the cab?

I believe that the tank under the seat is for the power steering and hydraulic lift. The transmission has its own reservoir in the transmission. On both of my x1100c's it has a yellow dipstick.
The foaming stopped. Not sure if it's possible that it can be air locked or something but still not turning the axles. I'm so lost. This thing is going to the dealer or to the end of the driveway with a for sale sign. If anyone has any recommendations to try before I do it would be very much appreciated. Thanks again.
will it turn the wheels with the back end jacked up? did you check the pressures? have you checked the hst speed control lever to make sure the lever isn't loose on it's shaft? have you examined the releif poppet?
