Hey guys,
first time posting so please be gentle
we bought an old 8n that ran pretty well for use on our small farm, came with a Du-al loader (which was a big part of the reason for the purchase) which worked real well for about three weeks until the one day we really needed it for moving 20 yards of manure. I drove it into the pile, rotated the bucket up and a loud screech/bang came from the front of the motor.
I was a tad bit concerned cuz i thought i had broken the motor, but everything was running fine will i tried to raise the loader assembly up to dump out the load and nothing happened, i tried the down lever, that worked cuz i was bleeding pressure obviously. Thought maybe i had blown the hydraulic pump up, nope, took that off and apart and everything was fine. I finally got the loader assembly removed and was able to pull the sheetmetal, and front mount off the tractor and STILL didnt find anything wrong other than the shaft had fallen out someplace on the 40 damn acres we have. So i guess my question is this: what could be causing my problem? the sahft adapter plate i pulled off the crankshaft pully doesnt look broken or worn out, but i cannot find an identical one anywhere for reference.
thanks in advance for any help y'all can offer
