Is your seatbar and valve lights on?

Could you have dropped the splined adapter inside the pump between the hyd pump and hydrostat?

Yep thats probably what i did because i had no idea there was a spline adaptor ...i took off pump and never seen anything come out with it or anything left behind so i just thought the 2 shafts touched and thats how it worked and didnt even think about a piece being missing that combined the 2 ...you probably just fixt my problem of the last 4 weeks in less than a hour thank u so much i will repost my findings soon as i get it back apart

I'm positive that pump setup has the adapter. Some hydrostatic pumps have an internal female spline that the hyd pump slips into, others have a spooned coupler that connects the hydrostat to the hyd pump



:eek:

Okay i remember the inside part that i could fill felt like splines on the shaft but i remember thinking they would probably bearly touch each other so makes sence that theres a piece i droped and didnt see ..its kinda tight in there and im not a little guy lol

since you are installing a new pump, you may want to check your main relief pressure before you put it back to work.
