I Fixed It..... :)

WARNING! YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ ABOUT A "FARMER FIX"!! PLEASE READ WITH CAUTION!



So, as you all know, there was this large hole in my Farmall where the Hydraulic pump SHOULD have been:

Sooo, I was not about to spend $50 on one of these little guys, NOR did I feeling like waiting over a week for it to get here, so, I got creative...

Took a piece of 1/2 inch plate steel (from old stuff in the scrap pile), cut it down to 5 inches long, and 1 3/4 wide. Then ground the ends down so that they would properly fit in the slots (show above), then put it in place.

Well, that was all fine and dandy, but it clearly would not stay there, so, I opted to put a radiator hose clamp around each end to hold the "new" drive shaft in place in the lugs!! :)

I know some of you may will be disappointed in me for not buying the correct part, but on the other hand, I encourage you to see the resourcefulness in today's adventure... Imagine if this had been an emergency, or I NEEDED to get back in the field. I CAN do this! :)

If I have time, I will get a picture tomorrow...
 
No issue with me, drilling a hole in each end to match the ones in the coupler is easier! (remember the 2 cotter pins.) Jim
 
I didn't see any holes in the couples for cotter pins though?? That WAS the plan, but I never did see them? Can someone explain to me where the holes are supposed to be? probably there and I just didn't see them?!?!
 
if one of those clamps slips off then you will have a problem, best to find the correct coupling
 
No expert but don't the cotter pins go through a collar on each end that slides out over the coupler and the drive end of the lower trans shaft. And a second collar that slidies forward over the driven stub of the pump that hold each end in place?? If Bryce has the collars it might be difficult to drill holes and then expecting the cotter pins to hold them in place due to the gap on each side of the flat iron. My understanding is it is a temporary fix so the clamps may just work.
 
If that flat bar slips out it could get costly.
I would not rely on these hose clamps to keep it in.
 
The holes are in the correct coupler, not the tractor. You put the coupler in each slot, slide a collar over each end of the shaft. The cotter pins go into holes on the coupler.
 
Since no one has actually shown you what its suppose to look like

Yes but I think it'd be easy to find two pieces of pipe or tube the correct diemater, and cut them drill holes and install. Maybe two pipe couplings, shoot almost anything would fit.,
 
Sounds like a good quick fix to get you out of the field or out of a jam Bryce. And creative on your part. Shows me you got some smarts and common sence . But i would get the correct part soon as you could. Good Job.
 
Your flat stock will work temporarily to test out the pump, but I think you will eventually discover the reason IH used a shaft if you actually work the pump. I believe the flat stock will flex and/or twist when it gets worked hard, possibly wearing the drive slots.
