Pump doesn't come with Torque Arm Kit,
November 5, 2009
"I haven't yet used this pump, but I bought it and other items related to the pump based on reviews herein. Thanks to the other reviewers for the suggestions for the strainer, pressure relieve valve, etc. For any future potential customers who want to buy this, you will also need Prince item number 180900877, which is a Torque Arm Kit (not currently sold by Northern Tool). This is used to keep the pump from spinning and twisting up the hydraulic hoses once you turn on the PTO of the tractor. It is a short beam that bolts to the housing of the PTO pump with a chain on the end that can be looped around a part of the tractor. It costs about $50 plus shipping as of this posting (11/05/2009). I look forward to using this PTO pump."

"this pump worked great for me, my tractor internal pump was shot, cost a lot to replace. this was a simple adapt job & flings the loader at a low rpm. this was a low cost fix .the one extra i did was a pto extension so other items could run of the pto also."

Good pump for any tractor,
March 23, 2009
"This recently purchased pump is the fourth one I've had since 1977. First one had more than 3000 hours on it, and wasn't taken care of. It just gave up. Second pump split the gear case because it sucked in piece of metal from a bad cylinder. The third pump has over 2000 hrs and is going strong. I had sense enough to put a strainer on the 'in' side, and a very good spin on filter for the return.
This new pump will go on another tractor that has slow, low pressure internal hydraulics which is barely able to operate a front-end loader.
So, use a strainer and a filter. Use a good quality hydraulic oil and keep water out of it! It will be more than satisfactory for a long time"
