Description
397-6960 Hydraulic Pump Assembly Overview
The 397-6960 Hydraulic Pump manufactured by Tatan is a compact tandem variable displacement axial piston pump belonging to our Hydraulic Pump Assembly classification. Engineered specifically for Caterpillar 308, 308E2 CR, 308E, and 308D CR 8-ton compact excavators, swapping to a complete 397-6960 Hydraulic Pump unit eliminates sluggish compound movements, high-pressure internal bypass, and engine stall under heavy trenching loads.
Constructed with dual high-pressure rotating groups, hardened bi-metal valve plates, and factory-calibrated load-sensing (LS) regulators, this complete unit ensures balanced flow division across implement circuits and delivers 100% direct mechanical alignment with Cat C3.3B and C2.6 engine flywheel couplings.

Application Scenarios & Buyer Value
When resolving hydraulic pressure loss and sluggish cycle times with our 397-6960 Hydraulic Pump, workshops and equipment contractors eliminate operational downtime:
| Application Scenario | Value Delivered to Buyer |
|---|---|
| Cat 308 Field Pump Replacement | Installing the 397-6960 Hydraulic Pump cuts equipment overhaul downtime by up to 75% compared to trial-and-error field rebuilding on compact pump bodies. |
| Hydraulic Service Workshops | Avoids the high failure risk of reusing warped swashplate cradles or scored cylinder barrel casings that cause internal bypass under load. |
| Municipal & Utility Contractors | Restores rapid simultaneous boom raising, bucket crowding, and blade operation without engine stalling under heavy 0.4 m³ trenching loads. |
| Global Heavy Machinery Stockists | Fully bench-tested, export-crated compact inventory ready for prompt international air express or container shipment. |
397-6960 Hydraulic Pump OEM Diagnostic Guide
Use this technical diagnostic guide to identify hydraulic pump faults on your Caterpillar 308 excavator:
| Hydraulic Symptom | Technical Cause Analysis | Tatan Factory-Grade Solution |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Digging speed slows down dramatically when oil heats up | Severe internal oil leakage across scored valve plates and worn piston shoes, dropping flow output and system pressure below 22.0 MPa. | Replace with a complete factory-tested 397-6960 Hydraulic Pump. |
| 2. Cat engine bogs down or stalls when curling the bucket | Load-sensing (LS) regulator spool stuck in maximum swashplate angle position, overloading the C3.3B engine under relief pressure. | Inspect regulator pilot pressure signal (3.9 MPa) or swap to a pre-calibrated factory pump assembly. |
| 3. Loud whining noise & pump body pulsation under load | Pump cavitation caused by restricted suction strainer, aerated hydraulic oil, or damaged suction manifold O-ring seals. | Clean suction line, replace hydraulic return filters, bleed pump casing air, and check pump priming before restart. |
| 4. External oil leak from the pump front drive shaft seal | High case-drain backpressure exceeding 0.20 MPa due to clogged case-drain filters, blowing out the front drive shaft oil seal. | Clear case-drain line restrictions, replace case filters, and install a brand new sealed pump assembly. |
