Vane type hydraulic pump for NAA

I have been marketing a live hydraulics set up for the N tractors with the Ferguson system for a while now with good results and a lot of satisfied customers. That made me get to thinking that the same pump set up that I use on the N hydraulics for the live hydraulics could be adapted to use on the later model tractors when the original pumps die. It would require adapting hose connections to the existing hydraulic manifolds by tapping the holes in the manifold for pipe threads which would be fairly easy to do and would not cause the manifold to be made unusable if you ever wanted to go back to the original pump. There would have to be a plate fashioned to cover the opening where the gear drives the origianl pump and maybe a brace to help hold the NAA hydraulic manifold secure so it would not shake. Then all you would need to do would be to install my gear type hydraulic pump that is belt driven and you would be back in business for a lot less money than a new original pump or ever a rebuilt original pump. I am working now on a version to install on my 55' 660 for experimental purposes.

What do you guys think?????

Probably would cost about $250 to get the stuff to do it with from me. That's not an exact price though as I am still working on the set up.

What about having a new pump that was driven of fthe same method as the older ones? Ir is there a breakage / parts availability problem still associted with this.

Second question. Are/could your 'live thang' kits be setup to run a remote? ( In other words.. what are the gmp / pressure specs.. or ballpark guess? )

Thanks,

The pump can be of several volumes. I use a low volume on the N live hydraulic set up so as not to overpower the three point system. It is the same volume as the Harry Ferguson belly pump (original)

thanks for the info.

I just want to say that I admire you for your engineering ability and entrepreneurship. I don’t have a need for a Zane-thang or a live-thang, but if I did I would certainly consider purchasing your products.

My late dad used to tell me that I would always be successful if I could solve a problem or fix something for others. You seem to be problem solver and fixer of things.

Best Regards,
