NOS hydrostatic disconnect kit for a quiteline
 

Guys,

I came across this kit for sale while browsing the inter webs.

I have never seen one of these.

I have seen hydro disconnect drive shafts for supers to help cold weather starting so I assume this serves the same purpose.

I recognize all the clutch parts that are common to gear drive quitelines.

I have a few questions though. What is the long tube for. Where does it connect to?

What happens every time that you step on the brake peddle? Does it stop the pump every time? If it does, is this good for the pump?

Just wondering if anyone can shed any light on this kit.

I have attached the picture I found of it.

Thank you.

The long tube is to replace the original return line. The clutch and the original line would interfere with each other, so the new line is just bent differently. Otherwise, it's pretty much the same as a clutch for a gear drive.

Yes, it works just like any other clutch, stopping the driveline when you step on it. No it does not hurt the pump.

the tube replace's one of the hydro lift lines that runs to close to the clutch. the pump does stop when the clutch is depressed. you really don't use the brake on a hydro do you?

Save your $$$ just more stuff to go wrong. If it's not there it can't break.

I'm with Sam on this one. I wouldn't waste my money or time. Most guys are pulling the disconnect clutches off of the supers/diesels as it is. If you're worried about cold starting in the winter, make sure you have a good/strong battery, run a trickle charger, and you can even throw on a magnetic heater to the bottom of the rearend to warm the oil some. If you're looking at it for nostalgia or as a collector part, that's up to you. :Huh:
