well for those who seen my previous post on the pump problem i found it.removed the pump and found the key sheared and caused small damage to the shaft.
a new pump runs 800.00 bucks and trying to find used parts for this machine is a task.
the drive shaft that connects the pump to the engine is fine..no damage.but the gear shaft coming out of the pump is where the problem is.
i was wondering what you guys thought of me taking the pump to a machine shop and having a new key way and woodruff key made on the other side of the original key way that has damage.all it did was take just enough material for the key to fail.there is still plenty of shaft there.one little piece missing.
the other thing i though i might be able to do is delete the woodruff key and drill a hole through both the gear shaft and drive shaft and replacing the key with a bolt.is this a good idea or not.things are not the best right not financially and i need the loader asap.
let me know what you think or if someone has a part number for just the shaft.i never have luck searching for parts on this thing.
thanks in advance!!
