The pump itself is definately attached to the engine and has only hoses off it. No belts

so the pump has a spindle rather than a belt drive?

Is the pulley inside the engine then?

Hi everyone, My A540T lost hydraulic drive, it had been running fine then just stopped all hydraulic function. The rollers still go around very slowly, the track motors move but don't rotate (even witht the tracks removed) We checked the filter, which is clear, oil is a little grey but looks as it should, no filings in the filter housing. So, I expect it's the pump gone. But, when I do a part search from the manual it says the pump is belt driven, it's mounted to the engine so unless there's an internal belt, which seems unlikely. So, anyone know the part number for a hydraulic pump to fit? Or better still, a quick and cheaper fix that I've not thought of! Thanks, Tristan.

3rd photo is from inside the cover, so I guess that's a plain shaft? What's an over-run clutch?

i'll try, thanks

Hi guys, I need to change the belts on a Jensen A328 PTO chipper, sounds easy I know, but how on earth do you get the pto shaft off the chipper in order for me to then remove the triangle plate which exposes the belts? Admittedly this is my first pto machine so I am a novice but I'm not daft and nor are my guys, we spent a morning feeling for release pins, clips, buttons, screws, a hidden chipper fairy who needed to be bribed! No luck. Help us out if you can.... Tristan.

Thanks guys, I suggested ring-barking but the order is to stem inject, no explanation as to ehy yet. I will find out. I thought about eco-plugs but wasn't sure they'd work.

Evening all, I've been asked to stem inject a row of about 40 Spruce treeson an NRW site we're on. Whilst I've stem injected Japanese Knotweed and have the kit, I've not done trees before. Can anyone shed any light n whether there's a better technique than drilling a hole and filling it with Glyphosate.

gm valmet, thanks for that, but I'm an hour or so way from that job so not too easy to pop over and say hi. I will if I end up over that way though.

No forwarder access further than the track we'd park the winch on

Hi all, I'm looking to hire a tractor with timber winch and trailer for a job near llanidloes. The job is to fell and extract around 70 large Douglas/Spruce from a private site. I need to get the timber up to the roadside but don't have the necessary kit. We're also looking for a buyer for the timber too. Email: [email protected]
