Title: Pump support coupler system
Inventor: HARNETIAUX TRAVIS L
IPC: F04B9/02
Filed: 2009-05-05
Abstract: A pump support coupler assembly for connecting a large displacement hydraulic pump to a tractor power take off device is provided. The pump support coupler assembly includes a coupler housing with front and back walls, and sidewalls.  The high displacement hydraulic pump attaches directly or indirectly to the coupler housing back wall. A shaft extends longitudinally through the coupler housing.
