Does anyone on this forum have any information or remember anything about an old Prentice Model FEBA knuckleboom loader?  I bought one last fall from a retired tree service man.  It's in very good condition and has a rotational grapple, I want to mount it on my Ford F700 truck.  The truck has a 429 gas engine and a Fuller mid-range five speed transmission with a Chelsey PTO.  The pump that came with the loader is obsolete and parts are no longer available, I could not find out what GPM it produced or what kind of PSI it was capable of.  Any info would help.  The pump is the only thing I need to have a great little firewood hauler.

We had an ole Mack with a 711 motor[ i think 160 hp], with a Barko 60, it had a single pump setup, worked very good.
