Sorry I can not read Swedish , but the pictures are worth a 1000 words. Does the Trans Am belong to you ? Thank you so much for sending the pictures.

I like the railing for your home!  That's pretty cool for sure.  Along with the rest of your projects, it's great!

It may only be a FireBird but it is one great looking car. You have put a lot of time and mechanical knowledge in the Firebird.

I am really interested in how you pulled this off! This is a weak design with the D series and I had envisioned a coupler like this. Can you share any details? Looks like the hydro pump side is secured by a clamping mechanism of sorts. How about the engine side? Parts machined I assume.

 

[Swemill 61]

Hi tommyg, sorry for the late reply... Yes, the parts are machined! You could see on my site how the coupler looked like as standard. There is also more pics of when it is modified. The pump coupler have i machined some splines in and also cut it in two plus bolts to secure it.

However this coupler didn't work real well.... I put a lot of load on the front hitch and the tractor / frame bends a bit.... which result in forces on the pumpaxle and the axle sealing started to leak oil. The coupler was too tight! Later i remachined / welded it more like the original coupler with a large rubber plate and with more clearance. Now it works well! =)
