[AT] Farmall B hydraulic

[Al Jones]

The Super A and Farmall C were 113ci.  The Super C, 100, 130 etc. etc.
were 123.

IF you don't mind a "Frankenstein" you could get the engine, clutch
housing, instrument panel, and hydraulic unit from a Super A, C, etc.
Basically you would end up with a B transmission & rear end, a Super A
midsection, and a B front end.  The Touch Control hydraulics on these
tractors could then be plumbed for a remote valve for a grain drill,
etc.  I am assuming all this stuff would bolt right up, since I am
assuming, something will require "cutting and chopping" to fit!

The live hydraulic pump on a Super M, etc. (it would have been an add-on
on the M or H) is totally different and will not bolt up to the B block.

I guess if you really wanted to go Rube Goldberg you could get the belly
pump out of a H or M. It's self contained.  Plumb your remotes out of
it, and fix it to drive off the PTO/belt pulley.  It won't be live
hydraulics but you won't destroy the originality of your B like doing
the major transplant I mentioned first.

One more thought:  Somewhere I have seen an A/B with a hydraulic pump
that was part of the generator. It attached directly to the back of it
and supplied hydraulics for a cylinder.  I have no idea who made it.

The A-B-C could be bought with or without hyd, the 113ci engine will fit

where the 123ci engine is. They are Super abc if they have the 123
engine, 
unless someone changed it. the H - M was the same way you either could
get 
them with or without hyd until the last few years of mfg. And then they
were 
supers that come with Hyd. The dist is the Same one from A-M even on 
Supers,, and I think that if you can afford the price it will work on an

abchm and others
