The front hyd lift pump and the front crank output shaft on my old tractor have had some "modifications" in its past life and recently came apart. I think that I have the correct shaft and hub installed now (shaft w/LH thread), but now I am trying to figure out how the pump was originally attached. The pump is a Vickers vane pump with a keyed 2.5" shaft. It looks like the pump should mate up flush with the tractor, but it's about 1.25" away when installed. Can I just install spacers on the pump and call it good, or should this sit flush? Does the pump mount direct to output shaft or should there be a coupler of some sort in between the two shafts?
Thanks, any help would be appreciated.
