Charge/ Equipment Pump Custom Mount Help
Ok, I am a little un sure of how to fabricate a pump mount for the loader and charge pump. I have included some pics of what I am working with. What I want to achieve is a factory look, and door. I need to get the pump balanced, centered, and as close to the pulley as possible, for engine door clearance. This pump is a step above the factory 1835c, this one was used on the 1845C. Same mount, better design, and coupler that is easily replaced. I believe they used the same loader control valve as the 1835c. I am needing this custom bracket to be removable, a bolt on. So the belt can be changed, and any failure is a bolt on replacement. And of course Reliability is key and of the most importance. Which was a factor in buying the new pump and coupler.
My Idea:
Cut crankshaft splines off close to the nut, yet not into the threads or taper. Weld, ring onto front pulley, with hole big enough in center to remove the balancer nut. Have four holes precisely drilled around the center for the four coupler bolts to install through.
Fabricate a 1/4" side plate on each side that mounts between the engine and mounts. This will conform with the factory mounting plate custom welded to the brackets off each side of the engine.
This would be removable and serviceable if needed.
Can I cut the crankshaft with a cut off wheel? or would it have to be removed and taken to a machine shop?
Should the balancer be rebalanced after the mounting of the coupler and plate? I am thinking anything less then balanced is going to greatly reduce the life of the pump and/or cause one heck of a vibration. Which would NOT be good.
Method 2:
Shorten spline and find some sort of adaptation coupler from the Kubota splines to the Case Pump splines?
Once this is coupled up properly, the rest should fall into place. I may be over thinking this as well. I am getting fired up about getting this baby going, shaping up to be a really nice machine.
Any suggestions or comments are always welcomed and appreciated.
