I have a worn hydraulic pump on my CASE 448 (1984) garden tractor. I am looking for a cheap replacement for it. It seems this part is particular to CASE (physical dimensions and clearance). Does anyone have a suggestion before I fork over $400-$480 to my dealer for a new one?

Actually, that price doesn't sound too bad for any specialized-fit hydraulic pump. Even a basic universal type to run at engine speed off of the crankshaft nose runs half to three quarters of that amount. And a "low RPM high flow rate" type like the PTO driven hydraulic pumps are even more.
What is wrong with yours? If it is just worn, most of the wear tends to take place on the sides of the gears and the cheek plates. Used to be that hydraulic repair shops would precision re-grind the sides and the center section, and throw in new bearings and seals. So that for about half the price of a new pump you would recover about half the lost performance.
You might want to check with local hydraulic repair houses.........Roger L.
