I've got one of those infamous 7000's series with a bad PTO and I'm attempting to repair it. However I'm having difficulty removing the hydrostatic pump from the front of the transmission. I've removed the four bolts that secure it to the transmission case and the bypass line off the bottom. The pump seems to slide freely on the output shaft to the PTO clutch but I'm getting very little movement on the output to the high/low selector. Looking at the parts stackup it is really difficult to see exactly how that shaft is attached. I don't want to pry too much in fear of breaking the internals to the hydro pump. My question is how exactly does the hydrostatic pump come off?
