thanks guys.. found the friction control works great. looks like a koyker older model bh as it was very similar to the 60 in a picture - with side hand bars (not top) and squared bucket..
Here's another question.. the independent pump has a shaft with a 'key' that fits onto a coupler that attaches to the PTO... that key is worn out really really bad and makes the pump slide off under too much pressure..
anyone have had experience replacing this shaft without having to replace the pump? where to get a shaft (perhaps coupler too) that attaches to pto on the cheap?
