Troy Built 27 ton Terrible Noise on Startup

[rothenbj]

I was splitting this morning when there was a terrible noise from the engine and I lost hydrolics. I can't find the model number and never got one when I bought it second hand well over 10 years ago. I used a manual off the net for an LS27 TB for guidance but not sure if that is the exact one.

When I crank it, I can hear grinding, even when it's not running. I'm hoping something easy like linkage to the hydrolics but I have no experience with this type issue. I made a short video but couldn't figure out how to get it of my phone to post it directly here so I'll try to provide a FB link. Any help would be great!

I’d start by checking the Lovejoy coupler between the engine’s output shaft and pumps input shaft.
