Pto-Driven Water Pump Keeps Tractor Dry

"The pump is 20 ft. long so it can be backed down into the water without getting the tractor wet," says Nordberg.
He used a round steel plate equipped with vanes on both sides to make the impeller which is driven by a long, shielded pto shaft. The impeller draws water in from both sides through two 6-in. dia. openings. Water is discharged down a 6 by 8-in. outlet to two 4-in. dia. openings which accomodate 4-in. dia. hoses. The bearings on each side of the pump are self-aligning and made from a plastic material that isn't affected by water.
