I was able to talk to a friend of mine who knows a bunch about ag. equipment and he said the term "B G pump" actually refers to a pump that was made by a company called Be Ge. The Be Ge pump was apparently used on older crawler tractors that were made by primarily Caterpillar and a few other companies like International. The Be Ge pump is apparently an add on aftermarket gear type hydraulic pump that is used to power implements. I guess the older crawler tractors didn't have built in hydraulics. I found an ad for an International TD18A that mentions BG pump, but it is not spelled "Be Ge" like the company name. Apparently the Be Ge company was located in Gilroy, CA and since the pumps were used on crawler type tractors they were more common on the West Coast than the East Coast. The Be Ge company went out of business in early eighties apparently. I did a search for the name Be Ge and not much comes back. I guess they are kind of rare now. -Steve
