Greetings, Thank you for such a fast response. The pump is in the front of the tractor and the shaft comes through a small hole in the front of the tractor to couple to the pump. The back end of the shaft goes into a hydraulic hub attached to the front of the engine. It is separate from the three point hitch in back. That one works just fine. When I run the engine, the shaft runs at a significantly lower speed than the engine. When I uncouple the shaft from the pump, it turns at the same speed as the engine. The current speed which the shaft turns is too slow to power the pump, it turns slowly, then speed up a turn, then slow again. Since the shaft is running through the front of the tractor, I can not really get a good view to see what is going on. I can tell that the shaft does spin freely inside the hub. I know someone mentioned cutting the shaft, but the space is so tight. It is my understanding that I need to pull the shaft out the front of the tractor, which once it is out, will allow me to remove the hub from the engine area. This is where I am stuck. I will try "Old"'s recommendation to grab and try to pull out, but I have been trying that without any luck. Very tight space and limited angles. Any other suggestions on how to accomplish this - the tricks would be appreciated. I have the coupler flange on the end that connects to the pump. I removed the screw that holds it on, but it would not budge. Do you get that off by tapping it on all sides? I understand what I need to do...I just need to know how to get it done. Thank you, Carolyn Diesel 8N

Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
