Vickers Hydraulic Pumps
Harry Franklin Vickers (1898 - 1977) U.S. was an American inventor and industrialist recognized
by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers as the "Father of Industrial Hydraulics".
Vickers mechanical ability in combination with his electronic and engineering training
formed the basis for his ability to invent, test and manufacture his early Vickers hydraulic pumps,
which included the first hydraulic power steering system. He went on to invent numerous key
components.
Vickers hydraulic Values and pumps were fundamental to the rapid growth of the hydraulic industry, including his most
famous innovation, the balanced Vickers vane hydraulic pump. Vickers Inc. grew steadily, eventually moving its
headquarters to Detroit to be closer to its major automotive and industrial customers.

The Char Lynn company
Early Hydraulic System pioneer
Char Lynn hydraulic pump
enable you to equip all makes and
models of tractors for any kind of
Hydraulic attachment. Contains in one
package not just one but two high pressure
pumps plus filter and double
control valves. Mounts at power takeoff.
Enables tractors to pull and push as well as
lift. Direct driven through flexible
coupling. Mounting bracket kits available
for most popular tractors.
The 1951 ad for the Char-Lynn a 3rd party manufacturer of hydraulic pumps, hydraulic valves and hydraulic cylinders
The two page ad ran in the 1951 issue of Implement and Tractor catalog. The catalog for dealers promoted it self as
“The Complete Product Index for the Farm Equipment Industry” The Char-Lynn company is one of a small amount companies

Hydraulic Pump used for Power Steering
1953 Case released the Case 500 advertised as rhe first tractor to use hydraulic power steering, which made the tractor easier to handle in soft
ground and on short turns. It took less effort to steer the 500 than many smaller tractors.
The Case 500 also offered
CONSTANT, DUAL VALVE HYDRAULIC CONTROL
This versatile hydraulic Pump system adds much to the general usefulness of the Model
"500" Case Diesel Tractor. Hydraulic power is instantly available whenever the engine is running,
The hydraulic pump runs independent of traction clutch, gears or PTO clutch.
Either one or two portable hydraulic cylinders can be operated at any time—together or
separately—making the system readily adaptable to a wide range of possible hydraulic applications.
Vickers and the Hydraulic Revolution
By 1960 the Vickers Hydraulic Pump and the incredible amount of power and
versatility offer from modern hydraulics
would not only change the agriculture industry but nearly every industry would benefit from hydraulic technology .

International Harvester
Farmall H was the redesigned sequel to the Farmall F-20. The Farmall H had a new engine
that used a water pump. The H was introduced the same year as the popular Farmall M and
since both models shared the same frame, mounted farm implements were interchangeable.

Farmall Cub 1947 - 1952
Despite International Harvester extensive line of tractors.
the need for a row-crop tractor of less horsepower was addressed some what late.
The success of the
Allis Chalmers Tractor
Model B and C emphasized this point, so in 1947 the company introduced the Farmall Cub

McCormick Deering 10-20
This was the
International Tractor
that followed the
McCormick Deering
Titan. It came out in 1923 and was discontinued
in 1939. A total of 219,000 were made and the peak production year was 1929.
It was slow and cumbersome, but was excellent for plowing
as well as on the belt. It carried the same four cylinder
engine as the "Regular Farmall" introduced that same
Year by
International Harvester
Company.
In 1923, the 10-20 was listed at $785; the 15-30 at
$1250. By 1939, the 10-20 was listed at $950 with
