remove hydraulic pump on ford 3930

[mac peppers]

i'm having trouble removing the hydraulic pump on my 1995 ford 3930. the one behind the right foot rest. I've removed the mounting bolts but it seems like something else is holding it. lightly prying on it, I can see it move a little on the two dowel pins so it's not the gasket stuck. i'm afraid to prize too much. is there a trick to getting this off? thanks

let me add, I may have a broken or damaged pto primary shaft. I was running the bushhog and hit a large stump. it lost pto and all hydraulics. I've got a shop manual ordered but it wont be here for a few days. thanks

this is out of my 345C industrial manual, which is pretty much the same as your 3930 -

see the note at the end

thanks joe, I didn't think that pipe would hold it, but I guess it can. i'll mess with it tomorrow

My experience says removing the pump won’t be of benefit, but at this point you need to continue if for no other reason than to replace the mounting gasket. I’d bet the primary PTO shaft running through the bottom of the transmission is broken, probably at the front. Replacement will require splitting the transmission from both the engine and rear axle center section.

thanks Rick, I was looking for a way to tell if it's broken or damaged before I jump into splitting it apart. this is my first major repair so i'm a little shy. i'm hoping the shop manual will give me the proper sequence of disassembly to check this out. i've read your other post on this subject, they're a big help.
