As most of you know I am in the process of building a loader for my 1969 1225. I am near the point where I need to make an adapter to run the hydraulic pump off the front PTO. The PTO is a 3/4" shaft with 6-splines and the hydraulic pump is 1/2" with 1/8" keyway. Does anyone know of a source for a femal coupler for the splined PTO shaft?
If I cannot find a source the only other way I can think of is to take a piece of 1-1/4" stock bore one end to an ID of 3/4" and the other to an ID of 1/2". Using the original cotter pin hole on the PTO shaft and pinning the coupling onto to pump itself. Would this be sufficient?
