Dennis:
I put a 6gpm pump off an old combine on the fron of mine and removed the original pump. The pump mounts on a plate attached to an piece of 2" angle spanning the two frame rails. I faced the front of the crank pulley and made a drive plate with a lovejoy coupling to attach the pump drive to handle misalignments. I had to remove the hand crank to make room, besides I didn't need it anymore...I used the original reservoir and covered the hole where the original pump mounted with a plate with suction and return line fittings threaded in. I added a separate control valve with a single acting spool for the lift and a dual acting spool for implement cylinders. I mounted these on a bracket from the frame above the right fender. All of the pieces except the lovejoy flex coupling and a few new hoses were salvaged from an old Massey 300 combine and my scrap metal pile. I also had to take the header cylinders and fit them to the tractor lift since the new pump couldn't develop 3000 psi and I couldn't lift my snow blower or tiller. It turned out to be a bit of work, but being able to use the hydraulics and foot clutch at the same time is worth it. I use the tractor year round so utility and dependability are a must.
