adding live hydraulics

Although they are very hard to come by M&W Gear Company did make a live pump for the Farmall H.

There was one listed on ebay, I contacted the seller about buying it and was told that IT HAD ALREADY BEEN SOLD.

You can install a live pump from a Super H or 300 on your H, BUT you would need to use the front timing cover and backing plate from the same (some say to change the timing gear too).

I have a M&W setup on my H.

I use it to run a loader, three point hitch, and power steering (I would part with my F-350 dullay before parting with that setup).

You might try Mike at Steel Wheel Ranch if you want to install live hydraulics on your H, he might have a M&W Pump or all of the parts you would need.

just bite the bullet and spend the money. i also built a tank that will hold 6 3/4 gallons of fluid to keep the oil cool. i installed a filter on the return side to the tank. works correctly and i also have a remote hook-up. bottom line is it is your tractor and there are several ways that will work.

Cogged belt would be the best way, in my opinion.

Just playin' with ya ;o)

Problem with the Super M is the limited room between the fan pulley and the bolster casting - I'd guess less than 4". Simply not enough space for substantial hydraulic pump/coupling.

Further on the Super M the bolster pivot shaft runs smack thru the center of the bolster casting. So mounting the pump out front and driving it from a stub shaft is simply impossible.

A while ago someone on this board posted photos showing how he installed a pump and drove it of a timing (cogged) belt from a timing pulley attached the the front of the fan pulley.

But probably the easiest way for you is to obtain a live pump from a Super M/400/450 and install it on the engine. And you tractor is a Super M it's already got the heavy timing gears installed.

You can load your pictures on this site under the "Parts & Pieces" area, if you want to.

If you do so just let everyone know that you have added them and everyone can view them if they wish to.

I for one enjoy seeing the different ways that people have come up with to solve problems.

Thanks
