Now I'm confused. I mounted it per the tech sheet that came with the tractor. I believe it originally had the double roller chain, and when that wore out, they replaced it with the flex setup. I knew I'd never find another flex coupling so I opted for the roller chain when I found one.

By single roller chain, do you mean a single set of links? This is double roller chain,with two sets of links side by side.

Here’s the setup before I put the roller chain on. Also I had to trim the bushings down to bring the sides closer together. At first I thought the pump just mounted to the loader subframe, but I know now the subframe mounts to the engine frame. Both sides are held in place with set screws

Okay, I managed to get a used coupling assembly for my front hydraulic pump. Its a double roller chain set up, whereas the old one was the flexible spring shaft. I got it put on and aligned, and connected everything up. Started the engine, and it works like a charm, as long as I'm sitting still...

I'd like to get it, if no one else is ahead of me. If you can PM me we can set up shipping etc... Tim

Here you go. If I get some time this weekend, I might remove the block to check out the ports.

Is this still available?

I just went back out to look at it again, and noticed there is a port on the side where the handle is. I'm wondering if I can hook a quick connect to it, and run it that way.

The block on top is equipped with a valve. If you push it in, it isolates the 3pt, and sends power to the port on the block. That's not that big of a deal for me, as I rarely us both at the same time. If I'm hauling in the loader, I usually put a weight on the 3pt and keep it up. I think it's...

I have one of the infamous hydraulic pumps driven off the crankshaft. Like many others, the coupling is stripped out, and I've been ruminating on which direction I want to go. I've finally decided to just put the loader back on the onboard hydraulics. I already have the quick connects to make...

I have the same set up, except my coupling is intact, but the splines on the crank side are worn out. I drilled it out, and put two set screws 90º apart to lock it down. What I failed to consider, is the splines allow the coupling to travel on the crank end as the spring torques up. By locking...

Not a problem, just a change of focus. I'm back to figuring out a new drive method for the front pump then.

That would be great. Pump is whining, and the flex coupler is stripped. I've got it rigged with a couple of set screws holding it in place. I guess I'd have to ditch the external tank, and replumb the valve too.

I know I'm resurrecting an old thread, but since it's just happening for me, it's all new. Am I right, in thinking this kit would put the FEL back on the onboard hydraulics, and not on the front mounted pump I now use? Thanks Tim
