so your purple heart on the license plate  I just want to say thank you sir for your services and being a true combat veteran again thank you sir

You’re a life saver for this. I almost spent $680 on a new pump installed (high priced because it was dead in the middle of a storm at 4am) but looked into it, found your video and come to find out had the same issue. Fixed it for free, was back out by 5:30am and plowed all day.

Big storm yesterday here in New England, my plow quit half way through and this video saved me bigtime!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!

Very informative video, thank you.  I was plowing about a month ago and hit a piece of buried concrete in a blacktop parking lot and it broke the hydraulic line going to the passenger side cylinder and pretty much drained the pump.  I was able to secure the blade in the up position and got the truck to the local Fisher plow dealer and they replaced the line.  Ever since though, when I move the blade from side to side, it seems to have excessive left to right travel, doesn't seem as tight as it was before.  Thanks for giving me ideas to check.

That piece is the suction filter. You need to clean or replace. Clean out the canister and magnet. There is no gasket, instead a large o ring which should be replaced if possible. You can purchase a kit with filter and o ring

Came back to this video again, since I’ve had this problem twice, thanks again!

Purple Heart!!! Thank you for your service. This video fixed my problem but on the older mm1pump

Thanks George for the vid and your service. I'm just over here in Winslow. I'll be giving your findings a try. Thanks again. --M

Thank you very very much. We’re supposed to be getting a snowstorm tomorrow my plow was perfectly fine last storm and now suddenly this I did a quick hydraulic oil change, but apparently that had nothing to do with it. I’m gonna try your method.

Thank you for this video. My fill cap is seized and I wasn't sure how to gain access to the reservoir and filter. Was scared to start unbolting things and be without my plow for the next storm.

Thank you for your service!! Congratulations or reviving the your Purple Heart

This video is about the "uptake tube" having fallen out of its connection to the pump inside the reservoir tank.  It's only held in place by the compression of an "O".

As to using red ATF fluid instead of the blue low temperature fluid.  In an emergency you can use ATF.  It works fine at temperatures above 15 degrees.  However, it should not be used permanently because at below 15 degrees it will take your battery down quickly and is very hard on your electric pump motor.  Thanks to everyone who commented about this issue.

my pump filter was plugged with slug .hadn't been apart in years .The magnet in the bottom is a good thing but it only takes up what it can .rest goes  to the pump .filter.  blow out and good to go. my electric motor was getting warm out so the dust ended up down in the tank
