ive got a d5g wgb00840 with what I’m thinking to believe a bad pump pump drive coupler. Loki g for opinions on what people like best. Engine or pump removal ?
Does the attached give you any ideas.?
Nice I looked at that last night on sis and it looks like a real pain. To me I think it will be easier to pull the motor. That’s why I was looking for opions
Sorry, didn't realize you had SIS. Dropping the pump out through the bottom doesn't look that bad though, especially when compared to the work involved in snatching an engine.
This is true. There isn’t much of a access panel in the floor. The picture makes it look a lot bigger. And the machine is of course nosed into a dirt pile
I did a d5k years ago and I think I pulled the engine. I don’t like opening up hydrostatic lines if I don’t have to. Wasn’t that bad of a job. The way the rear mount is designed your better to leave the mount in frame and pull engine away from it.
That’s kind of where I’m at With it.
on the g series you should be able to pull the pumps back and secure them with a strap or something and then change out the coupler. but on the k series that is not possible, you have to pull the engine, the back plate was made different to where it wont clear your rear motor mounts. I found out the hard way. there shouldn't be many hoses you have to undo, I think I ran a strap through the back of the machine onto the rear of the pump and just ratchet the thing back.
Pull the engine it's not to bad I have one down as we speak
