Newgren crank pump bracket and monroe version

This Newgren bracket was removed from a Jeep we just bought. I have owned other newgren brackets but first one I have seen like this with side support. I am assuming it is correct cause all other brackets I have had were not installed.
The Newgren bracket I just love cause they are simply and direct.   

The other is the monroe pump bracket which is casted out of aluminum and then machined drilled. Lots of work and expense. Newgren is much more simple.

They both use the same pump and three prong pully. The three prong pully I have seen made three different ways. One the prongs are pressed in other the prongs are pressed in then counter punched rear and last prongs are brass weld rear.

The pump itself is nothing special but a Farmall pto pump. Notice the bar manifold This is screwed on the back of the pump and two O rings seal it... Now the Monroe had that other type of manifold which again was casted and machined.

So goes to show you that Willys used parts that were available in certain applications to avoid RD. All companies do this even today.
pumps are still available new for 310 bucks and over haul kits are cheap

On the Newgren name itself years ago a guy called me saying he knew how the name Newgren came to be.
Newton and Green two people who worked to find application for the Willys Jeep after the war. They came up with several designs and used both their names on it. NEWGREN for Newton and Green.
Gentlemen told me that he got it from a man name Green claiming that to be. Is it true? I do not know but a nice story. True about he person telling me the story.
And same person owned a Newgren bottom plow
