I've seen tractors for sale with added HYDRAULICS to the pto shaft . But never knew what it was all about and how they got there. thks for showing me and others.
Well I’m glad I found this channel living out in Rural NB these days and the old farmers want to bring their old tractors back to life and put them to work got a John Deere 3130 to run again and a white tractor that hadn’t run in years he has a few other ones that need service as well but they are on the to do list 😅
Another option I saw on an AC forum- use a 12 volt DC hydraulic power pack such as is used on a dump trailer pulled by a pickup- a guy put one on an old Allis and added a couple valves as needed, said it gave him live power and ran a round baler all summer with no issue. To be clear the tractor was converted to 12 volt and had a 60 amp alternator.
Absolutely ! It’s all about making these old things adapt to perform the jobs at hand. We are doing either a WD or Massey 333 snow tractor with a 4 way plow on the front and blower on the back , the plow will be electric over hydraulic aswell , you will see that in future video , thanks for watching
Hey Rick, I picked up a 1963 AC D15 a couple months ago which is my first personal tractor. I have a loader with a trip bucket on the front, and a blade on the rear. Currently I am just using a quarter turn valve to switch between front and back control, but am looking for a better solution as the blade drops when I switch it to front control. I would like to be able to use both front and back to work dirt/gravel around the ranch. Any ideas?
I’m not super familiar with the D series yet , however I’m Assuming you’d need a second shut off valve between rear lift and hydraulic pump. That’s what I’m doing to my WD
You should wrap you new hydrolic hoses with final tape or protective sheeth. The new stuff only last ten years in the sun, then the wires rust and you have to replace with more new bad stuff.

Neat, clean, simple. I like it!
It works well for sure
That's a cool system, never saw one like it before. You are a mean one with a sledgehammer Lol. Well, it's shaping up. Take care
It certainly makes an old tractor have new use ! Thanks for watching !

Awsome job brother!
Thanks fella , I’ve had a lot of fun with this project !
Do you lose hydraulic pressure when you push in the clutch because the pto stops spinning?
Yes this won’t give you live hydraulics unless the tractor had live pto
You should wrap you new hydrolic hoses with final tape or protective sheeth.
The new stuff only last ten years in the sun, then the wires rust and you have to replace with more new bad stuff.
Gives me ideas for my Farmall H!
Absolutely! The H is probably my favourite IH tractor
Is this ontario canada??
Yes it is
Oh cool! Do you have any videos or information about putting a front mount hydraulic pump on a feeguson tea20 or any ford N
@williamallard3710 I don’t sorry , haven’t been around many of those
Aah that's not! Figured I'd ask! I'm hunting threw videos trying to find the closest relevant video to help.
Thanks for your assistance!
