4010 Gets Hydraulic Power Boost
 |
“The 4010 hydraulic system is underpowered for everything it has to do,” says McPhail. “The tractor is equipped with a belly 1,000 rpm pto facing forward from the transmission. A friend suggested I mount an auxiliary pto-driven hydraulic pump there.”
McPhail got a pump from Prince Manufacturing (ph 605 235-1220; www.princehyd.com). He fabricated a bracket for the pump and secured it to 4 existing holes on front of the transmission.
“The holes are for mounting a belly sickle mower on the tractor,” explains McPhail.
With the pump in place, McPhail ran the pump’s intake hose to the drain plug on the transmission case. He found a cheap fix for mating the hose end’s hydraulic fitting to the drain’s 1-in. fine thread bolt.
“Deere has a fitting with fine thread on one end and hydraulic pipe on the other with a swivel in between,” says McPhail. “It’s called a Seal Lock, and it cost just $2.78.”
Once he mounted control valves on a bracket on the loader frame and ran hoses to the loader, he had the speed he was missing.
“It works great,” says McPhail.
