live hydraulics

[Anonymous-0]

I put live hydraulics on a 51 JD B along with a char lynn power steering set up. I hooked it into a power trol hydraulics on the back of the tractor using as the reservior and the rock shaft to use with the 3 point to lift my finishing mower. I t-d them together by the live pump ran by the governor and distubor. The power trol was plumbed corectly, from what i was told. I also removed upper gear in the orginal pump. a friend who is a JD partsman and also knows the old JD's quite well thought that was what had to do when he did it to one of his back a few years ago. Mine didn't work. I read on the webb that a blocking plate was needed and yet never seen one or on e-bay for sale, yet the rest of the parts available. JD offered it in a kit, now no longer available. It apparently went between the power trol and the rock shaft. Do I need this,and or whatelse do I need to do? Thanks

Yes--- you need to block off the port to the orignal pto pump

Is that what they mention the blocking plate? Or is there another method? I did remove the upper gear from the pump. Would you know where to get the plate from? I've not seen one listed, and I don't believe it's available thru JD, any advice? Thanks

Might be hard to find. If you had one for a pattern you could make one---mine is in a tractor that I still use

You can make one. Use a new gasket for a pattern. I don't remember what gauge sheetmetal I used,it was some I had around and all I wanted to cut with good tin snips. I used a step drill to make the holes and a file to fine tune it. Don't drill out the presure passage.

Dave, Does the blocking plate go between the rock shaft and orignal hydraulic pump or the power trol unit? Thanks

Where did this blocking plate go,between the rock shaft and the orignal hydraulic pump, or the power trol unit?

between power trol and rockshaft houseing---- blocks the port that comes up from the gear pump

The blocking plate is available. I have one I found, I think, on "Flea Bay". Don"t remember what I paid, but wasn"t much. Or you could make one, as suggested here. To install, you will need two gaskets (one for each side of the plate) that could be used as a pattern.
