Char-Lynn Power Pack

connor9988 · Oct 2, 2021

I received a Char-Lynn PTO power pack but it did not come with the mounting bracket or the PTO to keyed shaft adapter.

What are my options for getting these two parts?

What sized shaft come out of the power pack ? There was some fertlizer/chemical pumps that were pto driven!

Slim to none.

The spline to keyed adapter is still available through ag stores or online. Get that, fit it up and see where the hydra-pack sits in relation to your tractor. Then grab some angle and plate steel to make the brackets to fit it all together.

I don't think you'd want an adapter like that with the rather large unit being connected that rigidly, any slight wobble in the PTO shaft would be tough on the bushings/bearings in the aluminum pump body.

(Photos from the 'net, search for "Char-lynn Hi-lo Pack" or "Char-lynn E-600".)

Originally they used aluminum coupling halves with pins that engaged a rubber/fabric disc allowing some "give" for alignment or wobble issues. I don't know what can be found in the way of a modern "Lovejoy" coupling with a PTO-splined half that would carry the load and be compact enough for the purpose.

I have two of the units that I have collected over the years, I'm wondering if one may have the complete coupling, I will try to remember to have a look later today.

I had one of those years ago to run a disc off a D2 it was ok but no bg. It may still be around at the coast but no telling when I will ever get there.

Most of the ones I know of were chain driven off the PTO.

Where are you going to place the unit it doesent have to be mounted to the pto shaft direct. Mine on the B FARMALL mounts left side of pto and is ran with #60 roller chain been like that for 50yrs they are great units 1000lbs pressure @10 gpm single,two-way,pump,controls,res all in one unit uses common oil

1.250 with 1/4 key way

lovejoy parts are still avaliable so are other ways to drive like double
roller chain

Sorry for the late reply. I was going to run it off the PTO to provide hydraulics for a wood splitter instead of beating up my crank driven pump for it.

Unfortunately you are pretty much on your own for mounting and driving it. Unless the parts come with it you're not likely to find them.
