Anway, I called all over the country looking for replacement pumps, and couldn't find any. That was a big reason why I suggested the Salvage section on the forum here. In my calls, I talked with a guy in Missouri who had worked for Case for over 25 years. He suggested the roll pin was sheared, and that I should be able to repair it. After getting the pump out and taking it apart, I found out he was right. The only roll pins I found seemed rather light compared to the original, so I took two of them, one smaller than the other so it would fit inside, and pressed them together. It was too long, so I cut it to the right length with my Dremel. I put everything back together, and it has worked fine since.To my point. When talking with the guy, he mentioned one of the axles may have worn out the keyway on the shaft. He said I could take it out and have a machine shop cut a slot on the opposite side. I figured the axles, or many other drive parts may be overly stressed if I was pushing with a much larger engine.</blockquote>
