Norm-

Try reversing your check/relief valves and see if the problem is also reversed. If so then you have a faulty valve.

Did you repair the trunion slot in your refurb? If not it may need some attention. That, along with tightening up the cam plates, etc.

Wayne, I'll try it. No, I didn't do the trunnion repair, it didn't look that bad. May wish I had.

Hello all, I have a 123 and i am trying to remove, and replace the two rubber couplings on the drive shaft. The drive shaft was wobbling, and the rag joints were worn. Do I need to remove the drive shaft completely to get them out? If so, How to I remove it properly? The couplings near the flywheel are blocked by a metal disk. Does the metal collar slide back? Is there a particular order to doing all of this? any help is widely appreciated.

 

[thoffman]

Well that's done! Looks like it turned out pretty good.

Matt,
Drive the roll pin in on the piece that the two bolts go through and then slide the collar back, remove rag joint, replace, reinstall. NO removal needed.

Thanks Tom, but what about the rag joint near the hydro filter (first pic)? Will there be a little bit of slack for me to slide it through once I slide the collar back?

MP, Yes.
