[Sinned133]

can anybody tell me if I remove front loader on my 50c can I hook the pump back to itself to move the tractor? The loader is a 300a

Exactly what part are you removing loader frame arms all of it?

I might have to split the tractor so I want to take complete loader and rops off

Without the loader frame, which has the control valve plumbing and reservoir for the pump circuit, you need to uncouple the front pump so it is not turning, or you highly risk destroying the pump.

if I remove the pump is there going to be a exposed shaft.

Not if you remove the shaft from the adapter on the crankshaft. The shaft may have a left-hand thread holding it in the crankshaft adapter. Others may be keyed or splined.

Looking at the 300A parts book it shows the Left-hand thread on the engine end of the shaft. The pump end appears splined.

do you think it will be in issue to take apart?

Getting a hold on it to turn it may be the biggest problem. some have made splined adapters, with a hex nut on one end, to fit into the pump end of the shaft so they can use an impact wrench to break the shaft threads free.

You may have room enough to remove the 4 capscrews that hold the shaft drive adapter to the crank pulley. Then you could pull the shaft and adapter forward and secure them clear of the crank pulley to allow you to run the engine.

Thanks I'm waiting on the weather to break so I can dig in and see whats up I'll post to let you know what I find. I might just part her out.

You don't have to remove loader to split it you support bucket with a good stand tall enough to roll front under a bit. Jack stands under loader frame wedges on front axle rolling jack and good bottle jack

What does that tool look like?

I've got a shaft on an old Fergie that I need to remove.

 

[damn1981]

it's shaft from old pump with a socket welded
On it I will take picture of it when I get home today

 

[damn1981]

Pretty sure you have the splines of the long tool
But anything can happen after forty years

Looks like a split cleaned changed fluid it was really nasty probably never changed clogged filter clogged screen I've seen cleaner mud puddles then the sludge that came out I let it drip for a week started it up forward no problem still no reverse it seems clutch or valve.
