The driving dog is worn like that on both the transmission side and pump side. Is it wear or by design? [Reply]   [No Email]

When I was a kid, grandpa made us pull that coupler out whenever we were doing field work that didnt reqiure the hydralics, like plowing, discing, haying , etc.. [Reply]  [No Email]

Were it mine ai would probably either get new parts, or mill the wear out of the drive and driven hubs, and make a new coupler to fit the wider slots. Jim [Reply]  [No Email]

(Before it wore it was a simple, square-cut slot in both halves.) I'd be looking for misalignment between the pump and countershaft centerlines. A possible cause could be the pump was not mounted tight to the torque tube. Or perhaps it was installed with dirt between the mating surfaces so the pump did not bolt up square. [Reply]  [No Email]

The two edges are parallel and straight when the coupler is new. Zach [Reply]  [No Email]
