I have a 1959 841 with a Fasco FEL on it. It currently uses the tractor hyd pump to operate the loader. I would like to add a front mount pump when I install new DA cylinders.
I have found a drive shaft adapter for the crank on this site. My search for a drive shaft shows the Ford shaft to be a clever (3) piece unit to overcome any pump and crank misalignment. I would suspect it would be difficult to obtain and/or expensive. I believe the OEM part is also splined.
I would appreciate advice, comments, P/Ns for a suitable shaft and pump (10GPM) max for loader and rear mtd equipment. Do I need a flex coupling at the pump end if I use keyed pump or is a splined pump better?
I will construct a weldment to mount the pump and attach to the front of the tractor.
The FEL has a full length underbody frame of rectangular tubing attached to the mtg points on the rear axle and the front of the tractor. Fasco attached the pump mtg bracket to the front of the underbody frame.
