Caterpillar 9T-6857 is the yellow painted variable displacement axial piston pump with a splined drive shaft, a two bolt flange, side and top ports and the load sensing control block. It is used on Caterpillar 416 and 428 backhoe loaders. This aftermarket version is made to the same mounting and connections as the original, so it fits where the old one came off.
Sold as one unit. Check the number on your old part, or in the parts manual for your machine, before ordering.

Applications & use cases
Slow or weak hydraulics
A worn pump loses flow and pressure: functions slow down, especially when the oil is hot.
Noise
Whining or knocking from the pump points to worn gears or pistons, or cavitation from a blocked suction line.
Contamination
Metal in the filter or oil means the pump is wearing. Replace it before debris damages valves and motors.
Fitting tips
Flush the system, change the oil and filters, fill the pump case before starting, and run at low speed first.

Frequently asked questions
Will it fit my Caterpillar 416?
Yes, it was made for the Caterpillar 416, and 1 more listed under compatible equipment. Check the old hydraulic pump is marked 9T-6857 or one of the cross references, because makers change parts between serial ranges.
How often should I replace the hydraulic pump on my Caterpillar 416?
On the Caterpillar 416, often 5,000 to 10,000 hours with clean fluid, much less with dirt or air in the system. It is usually changed on condition, not by hours.
What are the signs the hydraulic pump needs replacing?
Leaks from the seal or weep hole, noise or whining, overheating, or falling pressure or flow under load.
Does the case drain need filling?
On piston pumps, yes. Fill the case through the drain port with clean hydraulic oil before the first start, or the bearings run dry.
Should I prime it before starting?
Yes. Fill the pump and its suction line with clean fluid before the first start. Running it dry, even for a few seconds, can score it.
Is this a genuine Caterpillar 9T-6857?
No. It is an aftermarket hydraulic pump made to replace the Caterpillar 9T-6857. It is not made by the original manufacturer; the number only shows what it replaces.
