300 utility belt driven pump

neilc · Feb 29, 2012

I might be able to get a hydraulic pump for $150 that I am hoping I can mount on this old girl. It flows 10 gph at 1600 psi but I haven't seen it yet so I am not sure on the size yet until the guy gets back to me. I am wondering what you all think about how much power this might rob from the engine? I was thinking belt driven off of the crank but I have seen pumps driven right off of the crankshaft. I think it may have been on 300 Industrial tractors that had that setup. Any advice?

Why do you want to run that pump ? What is wrong with the factory one, they have about the same out put as that pump.

Your pump is gonna need between about 11 - 13 HP when working at capacity.

That's a LOT for a belt-driven pump. It will require 2 - 3 belts to work reliably - and probably 4 belts if you want it to work when the belts get dusty, wet, etc.

You will find direct drive from the front of the crankshaft much more satisfactory. My Oliver 1600 industrial is set up this way and it works great. (Only problem is you gotta disconnect the pump to change the fan belts.)

wow, that's a lot of power lost! I was thinking of running this type pump because I am having trouble finding the expansion valves for it.
