Securing pto pump

I just bought myself a pull behind boom sprayer. The guy I bought it from just said wrap a chain around the arm to keep it from spinning. Well that just ripped it right off. Anyone have any tips? Mounted on a farmall H using a hyper pto pump

Thanks, Ryan
 
If it pulled chain off of something your pump is turning too hard. The ones I have just have dog chain wrapped around the drawbar to hold them from rotating.
 
Most time you can take the housing put it in a vice with the inlet up. Fill wit a mixture of diesel and transmission fluid. Then take a pipe wrench and go to turning. If it frees up where you can turn it by hand probably will pump. Sometime will require a kit which is an easy job but try freeing it up first.
 
mine came with a chain, but I welded up a 1" X 1" angle iron "ell" which bolts to the bottom of the pump and rides on the side of the drawbar.
 
I'm an idiot. When I had it mounted on the PTO I was turning the pump, thinking I was turning just the pump and that the PTO was not moving. It's seized. I'll try taking it apart and go from there. Thanks

Take a look at the photos below of the water pump support on <a href="https://youtu.be/XJ9PLo2bRqk?list=PLCUEeGboEbi-pR6w2onO-9zclH9sBoDVu">"BW" our 1954 Model 40T</a>.

Hope this helps.
 
And when I'm done spraying, I'll take the pump off and pour used motor oil in while I'm rotating by hand so it wont be stuck next year.

I used to spray with a Farmall H and a Hypro pump, and what I did was bolt a 2x4 to the bottom of the pump, let the 2x4 stick all the way over to the 3-point arms, and tie it off. The pump never had a chance to fully get going and wrap up a chain, it just moved a little bit and then started right in pumping. Worked great.
 
Junk it and go with a centrifugal pump those old roller pumps are a maintenance queen. Agitation is not in their ability if you have much of a tank. We used to use them and had 2 of them one for the agitation and one to do the spraying run one with the PTO and then a belt to the second from the first.
 
I looked at the first picture and thought that was an old board. I thought, "That doesn't look like something James would do!" Then I saw the next pictures. Ha!
 
yeah - I was thinking the same thing.

A chain should be just fine, if it's BREAKING - something's clearly wrong.

On top of that - in my opinion, mounting a solid bracket to the pump just complicates installation.
