[AJD] 40/420/430 Utility models

[Rev. Gerber]

If the pump on the front is the same as the pumps used on the front of
the 420C, often found when the crawler was equipped with either a John
Deere 90 loader or an aftermarket loader, they were a very strong pump,
actually more pump than you had crawler.  I have seen 420U tractors with
a loader on and the front ends all busted up because the front mounted
hydraulic pump allowed the tractor to pick things up beyond the load
capacity of the tractor.  I have seen crawlers bent up, even the side
frames bent due to picking things up that were too heavy.  Says a lot
about that front mounted pump.

I believe the pump in question looks like the one on a 320U that is
pictured in Two Cylinder Magazine Sept/Oct 2001.  

Now can a PTO and 3 pt hitch co-exist on a utility?

I suppose that a 3pt hitch could be added if the tractor has hydraulics.
True?  If it came without a 3pt hich would the upper arms be there or
not.
