ASSEMBLY
Assembly Section 2-5
DRIVESHAFT & FRONT PUMP MOUNTING
Thread the pump drive shaft into the crankshaft adapter.
Slide splined drive shaft coupler onto the pump drive shaft. Install the pump onto the mount-
ing bracket. NOTE: the pump is offset to one direction, the pump should be installed with the off-
set side on top. Install hardware for securing pump to the pump mount, DO NOT tighten.
Install pump and align so that splined coupling can be moved (FREE PLAY) back and forth
by hand. Rotate coupler and check free play every 1/4 turn. Tighten pump mounting bolts in
succession rechecking for spline coupling free play. Remove the pump mounting bracket bolts
one at a time and apply a thread locking agent. Tighten these bolts in succession, again check-
ing for free play in the drive shaft. After all bolts are torqued, the end play on the drive shaft
should be 1/16” to 1/8”, and coupler should move freely with hand pressure. If end play is less
than 1/16”, grind the end of the shaft to achieve the proper end play. If there is more than 1/4” of
end play, return the shaft with specifications for a longer shaft.
CAUTION: DO NOT START THE TRACTOR UNTIL ALL HOSES ARE ATTACHED, TANK
IS FILLED WITH PROPER OIL AND BALL VALVES ARE OPEN! STARTING AT THIS TIME
WILL CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE PUMP.
