Coupler Needed

[wmurf]

I own a Kubota L235 (4WD) that has a splined shaft protruding from the front of the engine that is being used to drive a front-mounted hydraulic pump for a loader (pump & loader after-market). The coupler attaching (over) this splinned shaft is worn out & the previous owner drilled & tapped a couple of holes in it & inserted cap screws to attach it to the engine shaft.
The hydraulic pump is also worn out & I’ve got to replace it. I’d like to replace the shaft, coupler, etc. powering it as well (fix it all correctly all at once). So far I can’t find a source for a coupler to fit the splined shaft coming out of the front of the engine.
I’m a new tractor owner (presently regretting buying this one) so any advice or suggestions are appreciated.

It's just a standard PTO spline. I'm sure you could rig something up from a tractor supply store.

LT1Pat,
That's what I thought too, but I'm not having any luck so far at the local Tractor Supply Store or the local Kubota dealers. Spline measures (w/ calipers) .92 inches and I'm not finding anything that small at Tracor Supply.

that spline is part of the crankshaft, here is how the L1730 Kubota loader went on your tractor.

Thanks! This is very helpful. Any idea where I can find some of the parts shown? For whatever reason, I can make out the part numbers on the 2nd page. Thanks again.

The L1730 loader is Kubota so any dealer should be able to help you if not you could give us a call 517-784-3146 we are a dealer in Michigan
