Trying to restore a 3pt lift system on a 1949 Jeep. The system consists of a small pump mounted on the front of the engine and coupled to the crankshaft pulley, return & pressure hoses running to the rear of the jeep to the lift. The lift assembly contains the reservoir, control valve and ram. Had the original pump at a shop, which said the pump was too worn to repair. However the pump was the same as that used on the IH C tractor. I purchased a used C pump and it appears to be same pump. Put the simple manifold on the new pump and mounted it on the jeep. No output on the pressure side.
This is a small, geared pump. Would it work, regardless of the rotation? Can I simply reverse the manifold (return/pressure lines)?
Thanks,
