lynnmor 7,302 #1 Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) My Kwik-Way loader needed a new pump and I couldn't find a MTE C304 original equipment to replace it. With this belt drive system, a pump should be rated for that side load but even the original pump was a plain bushing type. I found that the Haldex Concentric 10567 pump is rated for belt drive and has a ball bearing, but I do hate that it has a 1/2" shaft rather than a 5/8", so I used a H bushing type pulley to get a better grip on the shaft and to locate the belt as close as possible to the pump. The original pump mount on the sub-frame apparently was for a model that didn't have a PTO clutch hoop as the belt would ride against it. Also, the pump hit the floorboard, so I was always fighting that. I had rigged the old pump at an angle but that wasn't ideal. To mount this new pump much better, I made a mounting plate to offset the pump position quite a bit. This new plate mounts on the inside with four bolts rather than the two that didn't hold position very long. The new pump displaces .517 and the original was .407, the performance is no longer painfully slow. Edited March 23, 2021 by lynnmor 5 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeM 7,871 #2 Posted March 24, 2021 Ran those 1/2" shaft pumps on three loaders and no issues. I use 1/2" belt to drive them and just snug never slipped. That is a good pump. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
