Drive through PTO pump problem

[Joseph V.]

I have two problems with the aftermarket PTO hydraulic pump on my JD 70. First, the pump is losing alot of power - it has a hard time even getting the loader up above the level of the tractor. Can I do someting to fix this?
Secondly, I want to run a bush hog off the PTO. How can I do this with the hydraulic pump on it? The pump slips over the PTO shaft, completely covering it. On the outside end of the pump is a splined opening that looks like you could back another tractor up to it and stick the other tractor's PTO right in the opening. How can I fix this so I can hook up the female connector on the bush hog PTO driveline? I also have another pump that is only splined where it grabs the PTO - the other end of this pump is a smooth opening with what seems to be bolt holes inside the opening. I could put this pump on the tractor if it would be easier to run the mower off of. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Why not use the live JD hydrualic pump that makes 10-12gpm at 1300psi?

An extended pto shaft would put a lot of stress on the tractor's shaft. Take the pump off.

If you are going to run a bushhog don"t run it threw the pump. It will split in the spline and ruin the seal and the hollow spline shaft.Found that out on a feed grinder. They work well for low HP work such as an auger or sickle mower. Also they can be very dangerous Had a neighbor get killed with one as the tractor pto shield don"t cover the front nuckle or release pin caught his pants and broke his neck .

Thanks for your help - can I truly run a loader off the powertrol hydraulic outlets without damaging the powertrol pump? Would I hook it up at the hydraulic outlets right behind the seat?
