Good news its out.
The control rack was is frozen and worked out it was only a few ml off where it needed to be so thanks to all your guys info that nothing else was connected, So a pry bar on either side and one eye closed for luck and it was like pulling a tooth it pop right out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!yay
But it is seized one of the plungers is stuck up in compression and I have managed to get the control rack to move stiffly back and forwards but I,m guessing the pump is stuffed and not rebuild able .
So now I will pull the head of to see if there is any future there I only need it to go to drive a mulcher for home use but I'm still considering in the back of my mind another used motor could be cheaper and better outcome.
Thanks for all your help
Good news and not so good news I guess!
Apart from the pump, what's the rest of the engine like? Shame you are at the other end of the world, I have a complete KE70 here that I'm breaking for parts due to it having worn bores.
Aren't these engines quite common in NZ? Sometimes a new engine is the best option due to the cost of individual parts.
