Therefore, the pump shaft is likely worn---if it is worn and you only replace the coupler in the flywheel you'll end up with rapid wear and failure of the new coupler. I had this system on a small backhoe--replaced the pump and the coupler at the same time. 10 years ago the dealer sold parts for thses machines, but if you can't get one try BJ Hydraulics in SW Michigan. They made me a new coupler and reused the flexplate for $125.</p></blockquote><p></p>
