Afternoon,
Just finishing up putting the PTO pump on my tractor for my tree tiller. Never doing this before I have three things to do.
1. I have the "anti-rotation" bar hooked to the pump so it will stop against the drawbar. Is this ok, or should I use the chain to let it "float" a little instead of bottoming into the drawbar?
2. Are rubber tie downs enough to keep the pump against the rear of the tractor or should I use the chain angled forward a little to keep it on? I just don't want to side load the rear pto bearing too much.
3. How tight can you bend the suction line? 1.25" It is pretty stiff right now, but I figure that is because it is new.
Thanks,
Rick
