Hello TBN people. I have a Cub Cadet 5234D subcompact tractor with a 60" Mid-mounted-mower. When I just got done mowing 4 acres of grass and traveling back up to the barn, there was a jerk and then I lost all hydraulics. When I pushed the tractor off the highway, I have discovered that the drive shaft that drives the rear hydraulic pump was lying on the road. When I towing up to the house, with my 1950 Case DC, it just twisted the shaft off of the hydraulic pump. When I took the pump off of the tractor and put a pair of vise-grips on it, it turned like it should. Now my fear is, did something jam up inside of the transmission ? (like a gear may of stripped and some teeth jammed other gears). The pictures below show the transmission on the tractor and the last 2 show the pump. In the photo, 2nd from the left, shows where the pump slide into. The bottom on turns as the wheels turns. Now the top one is hard to spin, but I'm assume that it is the PTO. I know that the transmissions in these tractors weren't the greatest.
