Dave
Putting a 215 on my 55. How many tooth sprockets did you use for the drive on your hyd pump.
Thanks!

The self contained 1 gallon hyd unit off a Oliver or White head has 20 teeth, and then I put a 54 tooth sprocket on the lower driven shaft, and it works great. And then a wire to the cab with a self centering toggle switch for controlling either faster or slower. Sure was a cheap way to convert the older combines to hyd. driven pickup or reel.

I found a pump but haven't picked it up yet. Not sure which type I got, electric or the cable operated variable speed. At this point just glad I got one.
Thinking of mounting the pump on the left side of the head and drive it off the shaft for the sickle drive, or mounting directly to feeder house and drive it off the bottom shaft. There are three sprockets for header speed, one could be used for the pump.
