So I just picked up a 'Raider XL' mini skid steer and even test drove it around before I bought it. I loaded it up on my trailer and as soon as I got it home I fired it up and the drive train completely went dead. Apparently there is some kind of a flexible 'plate' between the engine and hydraulic pump and the bolts holding it in place were all loose. One bolt came out, then the aluminum part on the hydraulic pump side broke and the plate was all torn up. Any idea what this flexible plate is called and where I can get a new one for this machine? I'm pretty sure I can bring the broken aluminum part to a welding shop and get it fixed.
