For future reference, the Mile Marker 12000 hydraulic winch works great on the rear mount, motor mounts to the right side and the "factory hoses" reach just fine. Tickled with mine!
Like I said "I'M SORRY" Welcome to a corner of the internet. And if you reuse the axle stub chamfer and polish out any scratches, they create stress risers...................or something like that, causes bad things to happen. And again "I'M SORRY" I'll go set in the corner now. (That's where...
I rest my case. And I am not going to discuss what the bearing on the front drive shaft is called either.
BUT, I do want to apologise to VAPOR TRAIL for hijacking his post to air our silly BS to argue about a GEAR. My hat is off to anyone ambitious and talented enough to tear one of these down...
The small gear attached to a motor is referred to as a pinion gear, think starter or small dc motor. The small gear attached to a "shaft" is referred to as a spur gear. JUST my 2 cents.

OR............ 2 very clean 5 gallon pails and several feet of fuel line........ one pail with CLEAN FUEL and a line to the back of the pump..... the other pail with a line from the filter into the pail........ crank it up and wait........... runs ok needs a complete fuel system clean up, tank...
The "grease" they are talking about is to hold the push rod in place while the pump is installed. I personally leave the plate on the block if there is no oil leakage and use a strip of flexible plastic to allow the pump arm to slide under the push rod . Works for me. The grease method works...
