So after searching all over for a direct replacement loader pump,looks like i will have to modify a replacement pump to get this loader up and working.has anybody done this? and if so what parts were used and pictures of installed pump. Thanks in advance

Well ... you have to be creative. My loader is a 703, but a 720 is basically a beefed-up 703. First choose a replacement pump as closely matched as possible (SAE mounting type, input shaft, rotation direction, GPM, etc.). I replaced the original Cessna with the most similar modern Cessna (Eaton now). After mechanically mounting the port styles, sizes, and locations will be different than the original. You have to visualize and come up with a strategy for adaptation. Browse the fittings, adapters, and hoses at places such as Surplus Center, Discount Hydraulic Hose, Northern, Baum, Bailey, local hardware, local auto supply etc. Come up with a plan then implement. Below is my pump, Rube Goldberg would be proud but it works.
