Has anyone put an auxiliary hydraulic oil tank on an A like mine, external pto pump, and valves to operate both loader and an added hydraulic cylinder on bucket? There is a great video around of an older A with what looks like this arrangement, plowing snow in the dark at -20. Any advice? If I do that I want to be able to remove it with the loader to run my #5 mower (which I lift with manual lift links connected to rocker arms and using front mounted cultivator mount brackets that connect to rockerarms..works great. THANKS!! LEN [Reply]   [No Email]

The support for the gas tank has to be re-done but that"s no big deal. I have a New Idea all hydraulic loader on it and have an external oil tank mounted on the loader frame. A two spool valve is mounted left of the steering wheel. My "A" has a wide front and was almost impossible to steer so I took the entire steering system off a junked 105 combine and after a few days of fabrication, have hydrostatic power steering on the old girl. The steering circuit is fed oil from the outlet on the loader control valve. It"s worked great for over 15 years now. Ted K [Reply]  [No Email]

Just find and install a live governor pump then have much better machine. [Reply]  [No Email]

Too hard on the governor gears/shaft/bearings i think.... [Reply]  [No Email]

I have 2 live governor pumps on the shelf- they're too slow, i use the pto pump it had when i bought it. It REALLY sucks double clutching & loosing hydraulic all yhe time. Ive always planned on running the pto pump or some other large volume pump off the flywheel but it never gets done. When its teally cold & WINDY you want fast hydraulics so you can get back in the house ;) [Reply]  [No Email]
