Was using the Ranger to tug stumps out this summer when something I have feared for a long time finally happened.....damage to the discontinued "Severe Duty" bolt in Ford application Saginaw pump. It sheared the shaft off in the pump.
It sat for a while before I drew up an adapter and had a buddy 036Speed machine it for me. Got me back in business and now I can use an off the shelf PSC Saginaw pump and simply press the adapter on and swap the rear fitting.
Got it back together just in time to drag an old office trailer down some old logging trails for a buddy to use as a temporary cabin on his new property.
Felt good having the old turd up and running, so I threw on the running shoes, two good mirrors, a new tail light, and pressed the rear driveshaft half straight. Plan to put some street miles on before winter for once.
