hydraulics on b-hoe attachmnt shut down

[wdchyd]

BINGO!! That's what my neighbour said aswell (he built this attachment). It was connected with a U-joint, one side to the PTO, and one side to the pump shaft. the pump shaft is much harder and stripped out the inside of the u-joint splines. Way better than needing a pump!!:thumbsup:

so now I need to find a yoke with 13 splines. Any suggestions on where I find a U-joint yoke to match?

Check the fit of the splines on the pump also.....if you can drill for a grease fitting on the new u-joint spline it will help .....

7/8-13 spline is common.......if it's a Vickers pump then a new shaft and seal kit will be a perfect fix....Easy to fix......

Glad you found it....:thumbsup:

the shaft is a harder steel and seems fine. my neighbour also told me to grease the splines. When I mentioned that to the local tractor parts dealer, they didn't think grease on the splines would help a lot. I know it can't hurt.

thanks for the heads up wdchyd.
