Cessna Hydrauilc pumps

Thanks, Doug

Here in Canada prices range from $470.00 CDN @ Case dealer to $895.00 CDN @ Ford/New Holand dealer.

For reference the numbers stamped on the mounting flange can be broke down as:
first 3 #'s ie 245= product type
next # ie 0= backplate configeration
last # ie 5= displacement

letters following #'s, usually three or more:
first letter, L or R= rotation
other letters= sequential Identification

In addition there is ussually a second set of number/letters stamped on the flange,
ie 4G 10 ST
first #= last number in year built
next letter= engineering code change
next #= week of year built 0 thru 52
last set of letters= testers initials

Now I'm curious about the history of Cessna, I've seen these pumps on a lot of different equipment,even my little dozer came equipped with a Cessna pump in 1959, so they were a around for quite a while. Was/is Cessna a company on its own, or is a brand of pump built by a parent company??. Just curious
