Replacing 6245 hydraulic pump

[dave_peters]

I got really fed up with the 7245 hydraulic pump. not only was it slow on 540 PTO but it ran out of oil on very steep downhill slopes, which meant you could get into nearly impossible situations with a plow on the back.
We obtained a kit to put a non Zetor pump on the front of the crankshaft from Morriss Corfield , not only is it quicker, doesnt run out of oil, but it has lasted longer.
I wonder if it is possible to get the front pump assembly and plumbing to retro fit onto early 7245's as is fitted to later ones ?.This may help to solve your problems.

when I use the usual "take-out" behind, it works ok. But I hoped to have this free. But this "extra" hydraulic takeout doesn't work on mine.
