Bad day for the tracked TW. Hydraulic pump bracket fell to bits and chewed up the belts , the starter has been playing about so had a look at that as well.

 

Mortice and tenon joint on a kin steel bracket what a POS.

shame it was not welded up like that from day one.

 

Its not really the only design problem. The whole pump setup is about a foot long and is only bolted one end on the two holes.

After welding the bracket i made a stay/adjuster that runs from the engine to the pump. This should support it all a bit better

New starter turned up from Woodautos today , £90 instead of £160 from Kubota. Their part number STR 70073

All done and working :)

The copper contacts in the starter motor are a pretty quick and easy change. My Fourtrak did the same, it went for 18 months on some homemade brass ones, then fitted genuine Nippon Denso ones.
