I would like to power my loader(Farmhand F11) with the 'mag'(distributor) pump instead of the (nonlive) PTO pump. Will the engine driven pump handle it? GPM and pressure?I plan on useing the loader's reservoir. Just a simple hose reroute is all that will be needed for the swap.

I don’t think that we hold be a problem. They are large long cylinders so the psi should not even max out. Install a pressure gauge and you can see what’s happening.
 
Steve, I assume you have good cam gears and a front cover that accepts the distributor driven pump. That said, it will be fine. Much depends on the speed you need or want, and the pump's output, but do it. Jim
 
The only things that will be affected are lifting capacity and speed. Most likely the PTO pump is a relatively high GPM pump, high teens, low twenties. That makes the loader move pretty quick.

A factory IH distributor drive pump is only around 12GPM, and the aftermarket distributor drive pumps are less than that. The factory IH pump does 1500PSI so capacity won't be affected but it may be marginally slower. The aftermarket pumps are as low as 6GPM, and speed may be unbearably slow depending on your personal preference.

Don't forget hydraulic reservoir capacity. You need to use the loader's reservoir to have enough fluid to fully raise the loader. The belly pump or the little can under the hood is nowhere near enough fluid.

I forgot to mention that valving should also provide 1500psi relief if connected directly to the IH pump. Jim
