df.columns
Index([u\'TDate\', u\'Hour\', u\'SPP\'], dtype=\'object\')

Answer 1

I think you can add to column TDate column Hour converted to_timedelta with unit='h':

df = pd.DataFrame({'TDate':['2005-01-03','2005-01-04','2005-01-05'],
                   'Hour':[4,5,6]})

df['TDate'] = pd.to_datetime(df.TDate)
print (df)
   Hour      TDate
0     4 2005-01-03
1     5 2005-01-04
2     6 2005-01-05

df['TDate'] +=  pd.to_timedelta(df.Hour, unit='h')
print (df)
   Hour               TDate
0     4 2005-01-03 04:00:00
1     5 2005-01-04 05:00:00
2     6 2005-01-05 06:00:00
