Adding Hydraulics to my 1250...what ports?
 

So I bought the hydraulic linkage from Bolivier with everything, minus the hydrostat with the ports. Can someone point me in the direction on what ports I am looking for? What is compatible with my model?

In order to add hydraulic lift to your machine, you have to have a ported pump. If you aren't sure if your pump is ported, post a pic of it. Easier to tell you, than to explain how to tell the difference between ported and non.

This may help..

Ohh mine is certainly not ported. But, are there different makes to these pumps that won't work my with my rear axle? Or will all ported hydro pumps work?

IH used three (3) Sundstrand Hydro Units.

(A) Non Ported
(B) Ported
(C) SGT ported

Any IH Ported Pump will work.

Excellent! What is SGT Ported?

ok, so can ported pumps have either manual or automatic relief valves? Or do they have to be one or the other? The reason I ask is, I just bought brand new relief valves, automatic, for my current non ported pump. I'd be disappointed if I can't use them in a ported pump.

The valves are interchangeable. Yes, they will work.

Don't some pumps have a splined shaft for the drive shaft, and others have a non splined shaft? He would want one without the splined shaft, correct?
