    Allmand TLB 25K (not hydraulics)

    Haven’t yet, I just went through a bunch of fixing on other parts of the tractor so it hasn’t made it high enough up on the to do list yet. You could always pop a tie rod out and measure it up and see what you come up with. Moog has a chart with hundreds of them with all the dimensions

    Engine drive shaft coupler to hydraulic pump failure. Need help!

    I also have NH hydraulics sizing up a loader and lift cylinder seal kit and should be ready tomorow. I had one kit that came with the tractor when I bought it. I brought it to them to make a 3 more. It will be interesting to see what their price comes in at.

    Engine drive shaft coupler to hydraulic pump failure. Need help!

    Got it all back together now, seal looked pretty good when I had the pump up on the bench. Funny enough though when I put the pump back in it started to leak a little out the front seal. Fml….I even had brought the pump into NH hydraulics with me to switch out a few boss fittings and at that...

    Tractor vs Skid Steer Loader Specs

    The original poster stated a 7500lb weight limit on his trailer. That basically limits you to a smaller wheeled skid or tractor. Not positive but pretty sure l47 or svl75 would put you over that weight once actually loaded with a bucket. If a trailer upgrade was needed would that also mean a...

    It ended up being stripped coupler on the engine. Ended up pulling both engine and pump. I unbolted the pump and could only get a finger tip on the end of the shaft and felt like the teeth were still there. Pump came out first because I needed the room to get at the coupler. I assessed and then...

    Engine drive shaft coupler to hydraulic pump failure. Need help!

    Update: I got the splined/toothed adapter piece out. Waiting on replacement parts to get here. They are scheduled to be here Monday. It took two attempts of using the procedure from the kohler instructions as well as adding heat with a propane torch. Ended up pulling the engine to do this. Pump...

    Engine drive shaft coupler to hydraulic pump failure. Need help!

    Thanks! And yes explains some of the mystery to why it was setup the way it is. Not ideal but not terrible either lol. I’m going to try to get the stripped part out before ordering just so I’m sure. I saw around $160-180 for the replacement so just want to make sure things come apart before...

    Engine drive shaft coupler to hydraulic pump failure. Need help!

    If removing the stripped coupler does work out and I’m able to get the new one in I will be ecstatic. Yes it does get me back into a not so ideal coupler situation, but atleast it’s repairable if it happens again. Some type of a love joy coupler would be better suited I’m sure, but the current...

    Engine drive shaft coupler to hydraulic pump failure. Need help!

    The past few days I’ve had to put my time into unrelated projects but about to hop back into the tractor disaster. So get this… last night just out of curiosity I started googling a couple new engine options. Looked up kohler because that’s what was originally in the machine. BAM! Google images…...

    Engine drive shaft coupler to hydraulic pump failure. Need help!

    I have been letting it soak with some penetrating oil for a few days while I’ve been contemplating which way to go about things. Thanks for the advice with the hammer, I have hit it a few times already and got a good amount of rusty dust to come out the end. Will definetly use a second hammer if...

    Engine drive shaft coupler to hydraulic pump failure. Need help!

    I am most likely going to try and find a love joy setup that will fit. The first love joy couplers that were linked in a previous post are only rated for 15 hp. I’ll have to size up a bit and make sure there is enough room for the outside diameter. I like the thought of the love joy halfs in...

    My model is the tlb25k, no u joints although the manual doesn’t really show the original connection too clearly

    Engine drive shaft coupler to hydraulic pump failure. Need help!

    Thanks, I like how the backhoe is tucked up tight. The seat is level with the fender height and not sunken down between the fenders and wheels like on a modern tractor. Makes it nice because I installed a swivel seat and can just rotate the seat a bit with my feet up on the fenders to use the...

    Engine drive shaft coupler to hydraulic pump failure. Need help!

    I do have the manuals and parts list, the shaft on this engine is 1/8” smaller than the kohler that was originally on it
