I have removed the pto. shaft and both round side covers and raised the top cover about 5/8 in. I have all the bolts out and the pump will come down about 1/2 in. I can wiggle it side to side and forward and back but it won't drop out. I remember having a real hard time putting one in about 10yrs ago on a different 8n, it was like tipping and holding it just right. The other problem I have is getting the pin out of the top link spring yoke so that I can fully remove the top cover assembly. I have tried heating the yoke with a torch until red and driving on the pin with a punch and also an air hammer. Is the fact that I don't have the top cover all the way off yet causing my problem with pump removal. I don't remember anything on the top cover that would cause a problem other than the control arm and that is up and out of the pocket. Thanks for any help.
