I’m looking for a Vickers hydraulic trolling pump. I believe the model is a vtm42 , the one with the reservoir on the top. Does anyone have a old one laying around they would be willing to let go cheap? I need the whole set up, pump + bracket + clutch. The old style mount with the lever to engage the pump would work too. I’ve heard they can be better as the clutch can’t malfunction or “leak” voltage on you and mess up your field. It just needs to work enough to get me through a season or most of the way till I can afford to replace it if it conks out. Any one have???

In a possible substitute, since I have a lot of “car” background, to use one of those older style power steering pumps from 50s - 70s cars? The ones with the reservoir on the top of the pump just like the Vickers. Vickers made many applications for cars and I suspect the one trollers are using is a simple off the shelf model for light trucks or tractors/farm stuff. I’m looking at old power steering pumps and they are very similar. I guess if they had at least 6.5 gph flow at around 1000 rpm it would work to run gurdys.

Any help appreciated, I am on a SUPER low budget.

I have some float bags to trade that are new old stock but they’re smaller, not big enough for a 50lb ball.

Can post pics if anyone has interest.

Thanks,

Marshall
