H upgrades-Live hyds, pto, 9 sp trannys, etc.

I don't know what a hydro conversion is. If you are talking about replacing the gear drive with a hydro, I suppose it could be done by joining something like a 504-544 hydro back end to a H motor and using H sheetmetal. Sounds like a waste of two good tractors and you won't be fooling anybody.

The same goes with the TA, live hydraulic, and live PTO. There are a number of HTAs that have been built but they don't fool anybody.

Nine speeds are available. Place a want-ad here at YT.

an "ta" unit would need to be swapped out from a 300.

"live pto-hydro conversions? " live hyd. is pretty simple to add,. What you would do is add a distributer pump.

When you buy the 300, you will have two tractors. Not one HTA and a mess of disassembled parts.

You can't "swap out" a TA from 300-330-340-350-460-504-544-606-656 etc and install it in H castings.

wardner.. It is his tractor I don't see how it concerns you what others do with their tractors is it such a crime to make do with what you have? most people don't have the money to buy a tratcor with all the features so they buy an older one and customize it. oh by the way I own an '53 SH with two way hyd. and a 400 with backlit gauges are you going to chew me out for "decieving people" you are worst then a JD pureist,

Pumps are about $200. SH-300-350 cam gear (recommended) $50. Front engine plate (recommended) $???. Misc seals, gaskets, hoses, etc $???. Mechanical ability: moderate. Time: 8 hrs. Depends on skill level and experience.

If you need to ask these question, I would not recommend that you attempt the live pump. You may end up with a basket case that will likely litter your garage for years.
