[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 8966, member: 82"] The chain wear looks odd. Is the chain stretched causing it to rub on the bottom of the chain case at all? If its stretched too much you may need to replace the chain. I have never seen a pump shaft break but i guess its a potential point that it could break. There is a fair amount of load on this shaft as it converts all the engines power to hydrostatic power. Hopefully nothing has let go inside the pump causing it to lock up and snap. All i can recommend is draining the chain case and mopping it out with rags. I'd drain all the oil you can from the hydrostatic system and replacing the filter. When you get the pump out and if you confirm the shaft just broke i see no reason for concern on metal particles. But if you do have metal bits you really should clean the hoses and i;d recommend pulling the motors down and re-sealing them so you can clean out any bits that got inside. [/QUOTE]
