L8000, okay so I bought this used as some remember. I've come to realized the pto pump was kinda jerry rigged where it attaches to the driven shaft on the truck. I'm guessing it's like an adapter that sandwiches between the pump itself and the housing on the bottom of the tranny..anyway the 4 internal bolts that hold the "adapter" plate to the tranny housing had been heli coiled, and not a very good job at that. They pulled out and the pump fell to the ground, hence the strap in the picture
My main problem now is the cab selector for engaging and disengaging the pto.......it didn't want to engage, tried adjusting the cable first.....I pulled this plate off and this is what I see. I notice the housing is cracked also.......should this housing not be full of oil?????? The selector fork looks and seems to operate correctly....all the gears look fine. Another quirk or I guess it is....the truck never seemed to shift correctly unless the pto pump was engaged..so I always left it engaged
Any thoughts about anything.....what I should do? I'm kinda lost
