Ok guys befoe some of you tell me it can not be done I want you to know I am not setting it up like a super A.
Since our little A has no lights or generator or provissions for a starter I was thinking of replacing the fan hub assembly that only has a pulley for the fan belt with one off a tractor that has the 2 pulleys on it one for the fan and one for the generator. Now the question is where can I find a hyd pump that I can modify to fit in the generator mount to be run by belt from the fan assembly just the same as it was on a generator.
I know I would then either have to find a pump with a small oil resivor and pre fill the system or install a oil holding tank. Any suggestions on pump and resivor? I would then run hyd lines to a spool at the operators seat and I could use a hyd clyinder in place of the manual hand lift to raise and lower my mower and finish fabing up the mounting hard wear for the super A IH front blade.
Do you guys think this is something worth thinking about? Do you have any suggestions for hyd pumps? I can get my mounting hardware made at work. Let me know your opions? Since I run this off the mag I will probably never install a electrical system because I would have to install a different torque tube to run a starter so don't worry about that.
thanks Chad

Somewhere on the internet are pictures of a project just like you are talking about. I believe the fella used a power steering pump he got from an auto salvage yard.

If I can find the link I'll post it. Used to have it bookmarked 'cause I wanted to try it with my A someday.

Bill

P.S. Found it!

A power steering pump may be what you are looking for. They come with a belt drive and built in reservoir.

Truck units are larger but about the same pressure.

thanks that is what I was kinda thinking and power steering pumps are not that awful expensive.

Chad: If you have a Farmall A with no hole in torque tube for starter. Would you be interested in trading for a offset Farmall with hydraulics. It may be a less expensive route for you.
