Rick, It sounds like you could have a sheared key or a snapped shaft maybe.From memory they have a roll pin to secure the gears to the drive shaft, they work their way out with age and use, and chew into the teeth of the gears and wreck them, or the pump locks up and shears the key on drive gear. I am not sure if parts are still available for the 65, they were a small cast iron pump, the later model 165 with 203 cu. in. Perkins diesel had the larger alloy pump which i have fitted to 65 fergies in the past, but from memory had to do a bit of grinding on the housing to fit, long time ago ,cant quite remember Chris. Remove yours, try to turn it by hand, it should have some resistance, it could be locked up, or it may spin easily to suggest that it may have sheared the key or snapped shaft internally. If you have to replace it, only the pump off the 165 with the 203 cu. in. will fit as they are bolted to the engine on the L. H. side of the engine, the 212,236,248. cu. in. are bolted to the R.H. side of engine EG,Later model M.F. 165, 175, 178,168, 185, 188. Chris, let us know how you get on, where abouts do you live? regards, sibby.
