Cub PTO water pump

[spaceghost]

Does anyone have information on how to set up a water pump to PTO, what kind to use, mounting, all that kind of stuff

Thanks
Bob

What are you trying to accomplish? There are numerous water pumps available from PTO driven, 12 volt and 120 volt pumps.

Northern Tool & Equipment has a number of pages with different type pumps.

I have a reinforced cement low water crossing to cut, to install a new culvert. Plan is to move one of the smaller generator sets and the shop vac or sump pump to the work site to cool the saw blade and wash away cutting debris.

I have a cabin in Maine on 40 acres, no power, I want to put a plastin 30 gallon barrel on the back on the cub, drive down to the stream use the cub PTO to run a pump to fill the barrel with water from the creek,

Bob, I would use a dedicated pump at the creek. One powered by little B&S. Unless you're just bound and determined to do it with the cub. We can be hardheaded that way, can't we? .

FYI: Water weighs 8.333 lbs/gallon. A 30 gallon barrel will have 250 lbs of it in addition to the barrel and framework weight.

He doesn't live there. The pump would "walk away" during his absence.

Depends on how many 30 gallon barrels you want to fill in a day.

Thinking I would go with one of the 12 volt DC pumps. Some can pump 4 gallons a minute and cost less than $100-.

I use 5 gallon pails/buckets to dip water from the creek to fill the tank on my herbicide sprayer. Just guessing, I can get 15 gallons of creek water into the sprayer tank in less than 5 minutes.

me hard headed? I have a fast hitch on the cub, I have a FH point with cross bars and the barrel fits in nicely, I have a real 5 foot FH york rake that has to be close to two hundred pounds and that is no trouble for the cub.
would like to have as little hardware as possible, I have all kinds of cub parts , I have pto splines and drive shafts for a cub. would like it to be one unit, hook up the FH point the barrel is on push in the pump and go. is this an impossible dream, does not sound any more complicated to me than the other things that we build for cub? I am just not sure how to go about it and cub is 6 volt and the creak road is not the best, fine for cub but would not want to drive my truck down there

Bob,

How many times a day will you be filling the barrel? I'm with Eugene, 12VDC pump and a 12V battery or power pack. Cheap and compact.

[Eugene]

Research PTO roller pumps. Some will work in either PTO shaft rotation. You will need a splined adapter to convert from Cub to standard PTO.

I just looked up one. 16.5 gallons per minute. So would take a bit under 2 minutes to fill a 30 gallon drum.

As far as carrying a 30 gal. barrel of water, it should be no problem unless he has a steep hill to go up I used to use a 55 gal barrel on my cub, filled from my sump pump, to water flowers and my garden.

If dedicated to PTO power, I would mount the pump on the tongue of a small yard trailer and run the pump with an angle drive and V-belt.
The barrel can sit in the trailer.

This is less complicated.

This is a bit cheaper, but will probably only fill the barrel a few times on a deep cycle battery. (battery not included)

If I had a generator for the property already, I'd probably use this.

You actually may be better served looking at ENGINE DRIVEN pumps, rather than PTO pumps.

These would be better suited to the Cub PTO, which runs at engine speed in engine direction.

You then simply need to adapt the Cub PTO shaft to the engine pump's shaft, and fabricate a mounting bracket to hang the pump from.

Maybe you could get away with simply putting a Cub-to-540 spline adapter inside a standard 540/1000 type PTO roller pump, and running it backwards? I dunno. That would be the easiest solution, though.

thanks for all the info, I am going to try to build the whole thing on a platform on the FH point,
Maybe it will work we will see, I will keep you apprised of the progress
