Hit 2,000 hours on my dredge pump last shift without a single rebuild

I never thought a Cutter Suction Dredge pump would go that long without needing new liners, but we ran clean sand the whole time and kept the suction tight, has anyone else pushed their pump past the manual's recommended service interval?

Clean sand makes all the difference on those pumps.

Is there anything sweeter than beating the factory numbers? I had a 12 inch pump run almost 2,500 hours on just sand and water before we finally changed the wear ring.
