You need: 1. a pump. 2. a pump mounting. 3. a pump drive 4. a reservoir 5. a return oil filter 6. a control valve 7. hoses to connect everything. I bought a 5 gpm 1800 rpm pump from Northern Hydraulics (now Northern Tool) for my MF-135 and MF-236 loader. That loader used a pedestal for the reservoir which yours doesn't have available. You need about a 5 gallon reservoir for a 5 gpm pump (which will be plenty for your slim cylinders) to act also as an oil cooler. To get drive, you need a crankshaft pulley made for the purpose and some sort of shaft coupler than can be bolted to the pulley. There used to be kits for that but they haven't been made for a long time. On my MF-135, I found the pulley had a circular flange and some bolt holes so I turned a piece on my lathe and welded in a pulley hub with a 3/4" hexagonal hole. I turned off all but an inch of hex from a piece of 3/4" hex shaft and I welded up a shelf to fit on the front axle support to hold the pump that was equipped with a mounting foot. I had to shim that foot about 1/16". I used a standard three piece flexible coupling on the pump end of the shaft. To make it easy to take off the loader I plumbed the pump with male and female 3/4" hydraulic couplings so I could connect the pump inlet to the outlet when I didn't have the loader mounted. That also made it convenient to connect the hoses to the loader together to keep them clean and made certain that I couldn't confuse the connections. You can get the valve and filter as well as the pump many places, but Baum Hydraulics is worth checking as well as Northern and many farm stores. As an alternative, Baum Hydraulics has a fan belt driven hydraulic pump, that will be more expensive, but possibly easier to mount and drive though with the loader on you have to watch width carefully. You still need all the other pieces. Gerald J.
