Super Major Shawnee Loader Combo
Hi, A friend of mine has a Super Major, fitted with what I am fairly certain is a Shawnee front end loader.
It seems to have a problem, in that every so often it will strip the chain which connects the crank, to the front mounted hydraulic pump.
As a consequence of this I am looking for a better way to power the loader.
I have had two ideas currently.
1) Utilise a spool connection (Which the tractor doesn't currently have) But surely there is a place to tap into for this?
2) Mount a pump on the rear PTO shaft (Which again this tractor doesn't have!) But I suspect that the blanking plate fitted where the PTO shaft should be, could be replaced with a PTO shaft?
Can anyone on here confirm if any of the above are possible please?
Thanks, Mark

If you want a more protected mounting place for a hydraulic pump that you will be able to shut off(and run at two speeds) I'd get a pulley for the major and mount that on the side(round plate on the right side of the gearbox), replace the pulley with a chain drive(or a toothed belt drive) and drive the pump off that...

It sounds similar to how some of the old loading shovel pumps where driven rather than a shaft with UJs. We have an old Weatherill like that and it worked quite hard in its day and never broke the chain that was on it when we bought it. This makes me think there is something wrong.marcusgs wrote:Thats a duplex chain mate.
Have you some experience of these?
Is the pump secured properly and in line?
Are the cog teeth damaged?
There could be something causing a shock loading to the pump like a badly adjusted relief valve. Cavitation in the pump causing loads to change rapidly. The external pump is likely to be a much higher output than the Major internal pump so it would be better sorted. Putting a pump on the PTO wil mean re-routing hoses, loss of PTO when connected. Is it a livedrive, if not then that will be a nuisance as well.

Here's a place to get chain couplings.

You may also be able to replace it with a flexible Lovejoy type coupling.
