I pulled it at 6800 hours +-. I think the long periods of sitting (months at a time) didn't help as the clutch plates aren't submersed unless the machine is running. Not sure but that is what I was told by a mechanic. I opted to have a firm provide a rebuilt replacement due in next week. It was $6500 delivered and with credit to ship back the core.

My under carriage was chains, sprockets, all new rollers and they re-used my chain plates. They did replace the tension adjustment seals. It wasn't JD materials but aftermarket parts.

my muffler was rusted out also when I bought it and I replaced it for I think $300+-.

Some advice: get the service and parts manuals.

what's the typical life expectancy on the 550g hydraulic pump ?

3k hrs seems low to have high copper in the fluid...?
