G'day DJ54.
I did forget that one and it is well worth a mention.
The Dowel Pins are there to Locate the pump and to stop it trying to rotate The most common reason for the pins breaking is when there is an implement ,Brushhog ! etc that is pto driven and you have a situation where the PTO shaft when fully Compressed that is at it,s shortest it may be still to long and when the Linkage is raised it will Mechanically compress and PUSH the pto shaft into the transmission,this is caused by the fact that as the lift arms travel up they in effect reduce the distance between the end of the arms and the P.T.O.Shaft and consequently pushing the shaft Forward,Try this when you have a pto driven implement fitted to the tractor Be carefull dont put yourself or others in a position that will cause injury,just watch the pto Tube and you will see what i mean.
The one and most important thing to check when attaching a P.T.O. Driven implement is to check BOTH THE FULLY EXTENDED LENGTH AND THE FULLY COMPRESSED LENGTH both Equally important,Ideally the shaft should have a minimum of TWO to THREE Inches of engagement between the two halves at alll times a little bit more is o.k but remember make sure the two parts dont butt hard up or $$$$$.
The easiest way to double check and this is what i do is to fit the implement and raise it up to the transport position Turn the engine of and on a flat surface fit the P.T.O.Shaft this means the shaft has something like two inches more to travel before it Butts up Hard.
Again Thank you DJ54 For sharing this point with the members.
I will take this opportunity to wish all T.B.N. Members and their families a Very Merry Christmas and all the Best for the new year and as we say in Scotland" Lang Miy Yer Lum Reek oan Ither Folks Coal .
Regards to all.
