I just picked up a McCormick 30 loader for my H. I plan to put it on this 
weekend to move a couple of truckloads of dirt in the front yard, and have 
the H ready for snow removal. I'll going to attach it to the belly pump 
for now, but plan on installing a live pump that I managed to acquire 
recently. I figure I'll do the live pump in the spring when I have a 
little more time and don't have to rush things.

I know that a few of you have already installed live pumps so I have a few 
questions regarding the reservoir. Can the existing belly pump reservoir 
be used with a live pump and would it have sufficient volume? Or should I 
plan on building a new reservoir and mounting it somewhere, like under the 
seat? Also I'll probably need a control valve of some sort since I'll be 
pulling the pump out of the reservoir and won't have a controllable valve.

Also, I've run across two different Farmall hydraulic valves recently. 
One, I believe, is a 1/200 remote control valve, and other I believe is a 
1/196 selective lift control valve. From what I can figure, the 1/200 is "

I grew up many years ago on a Dairy farm and Dad had an H with a 30 or 31
loader. He had a live pump using the original belly pump for a reservoir.
Used it for years and abused it as well.
I still have a H with a 30 loader although I have the original Hydraulic
setup.

One bit of warning. The loaders will work good on a live system just don't
plump them in for down pressure on the cylinders. They a single acting
cylinders with 2 hoses. The head end was only designed for use as a
reservoir not for pressure. The seals just won't stand much pressure.

Also make sure that you don't accidently hook the left side up to the
delayed hydraulic connecting, LOL.
