I put the new driveshaft on the front of the crankshaft tonight for the engine drien pump on our 165 for the loader. Troubles is, I screwed up bigtime when I made the shaft. The new hub had left hand threads on the crank end, so I figured I'd make the other end right hand threads for the sprocket and it's been hanging on the shop wall for the last 2 1/2 years.
When I went to start it, the sprocket spun itself off the shaft, pressing the end of the pump out the back wrecking the pump. Here's where it gets tricky:
The pump is old and original to a different loader that was on the tractor. Never knew mfg of it, just that it was a bad design that tore up easy. It's got a 3 1/4" pilot, and the bolts are on a 3 1/4" square pattern which makes them to be on about a 4.596" bolt circle. Obviously I can't find one speced out like that in the online books.
If I have to, I can take the bracket off the tractor and change it to work with some other pump, but I have no idea what brand the pump was, how many GPM it was, or anything else about it. Where is a good place to buy a pump? At this point I'm pretty much planning to machine the bracket on the 165 to fit something else, just not sure which way to go...
