ID old hydraulic pump

rus_geek · Sep 12, 2014

I'm working on redoing an old homemade log splitter, and would like to ID the hydraulic pump, to see if I can run it off my tractor PTO instead of a standalone engine. The case has raised letters TRW, but I can't find any other markings.

Sorry this is a duplicate post from my log splitter thread, but I figured I'd get it in front of the hydraulics experts, too!

TRW ross I believe went out of business years ago and may have been purchased by another company. The pump shouldn't care what drives it as long as the input speed is similar and you don't side the drive shaft with chain or belt drive.

Making the input speed "similar" is part of the challenge. Without the old engine running, I have no idea what kind of speed it ran, so I'm hoping to find some info about the pump in order to figure out what speed I can/should run it at.

Apparently I just needed to walk away for a couple hours and go back. I found an ID plate under the paint. This is a Racine pump, PFG A1B0 13FR.

Racine Hydraulics was acquired by Bosch, and I cannot locate any information about this pump online...

PFG pumps I can help you with. I forgot that Racine was associated with TRW some how in the past, being over 50 senility is no longer an option it comes as standard equipment...

2000 PSI Continuous pressure rating

13 GPM @ 2000 RPM flow rate
