Kenmore top loader

I have a kenmore top loader that is about 10 yrs old and I've never changed the pump. I installed a new pump fsp? I believe that is oem and while there I decided to change motor coupler. I bought the upgraded one with the metal insert and found that it needed filed to fit the shaft properly. I didnt care for this but installed anyways. I also at this time installed a new set of agitator cogs. I removed the motor and blew out the dust with compressed air and reinstalled. Upon the first load of wash, I notice a very audible hum from the motor, never was there prior to the new parts. I thought it might be the new pump so I had another oem whirpool pump and changed it with same results. I replaced the coupler with the metal insert with a new old style version and still have the hum?? What could I have done by installing new cogs, pump and coupler to cause the hum? thanks for any replies.
