My spouse, too, gets to ride in spring seat supported bliss. I have an air ride seat (Shhhhhh! Quiet!).
I am also working on spousal support to grow the truck family, but she is not as enthusiastic as I would like. Maybe renovating the bathroom will help.
When I did mine I had beaten it with a small mallet quite unsuccessfully.

Good that the engine mount does not seem to have cracked!
:oops: That would be such a disappointment! Awesome engine design though, to even run with a broken crank. NDT, I think I know where to find a OEM LDS crankshaft if needed.
There are basically two and 1/2 options. You can run a simple forward facing PTO that is used for the PTO winch and make it work for a pump. It needs fabricating but they are plentiful. The second option is a transfer case PTO as used by the water and fuel trucks and auger trucks, I think. This...
