I picked up an F16d in July and am finally ready to start putting some features on it. Amongst others, there will be a FEL & power steering hopefully in the near future. I think I'm going to do the power steering first, then the FEL 2nd.
Been lurking for a while on this board (wow, there really are some smart people here), looking at problems others have had, etc. I think I have talked myself into adding an auxilary hydraulic pump to power the power steering, FEL & any other hydraulic's I end up putting on (like, a hyd upper link) on the 3 pt.).
However, looking under the hood of my F16, I dont' see any way to add a belt ran hydraulic pump. I see the water pump (which also spins the fan), and an alternator & the crank pully. But, it sure is tight under there. It doesn't look like there is enough room for a 2nd belt. And, there are some lines which stick forward on the side opposite of the alternator, so I can't mount the pump on that side either.
Unless someone here has figured something else out, I think I'm stuck with a crank mounted pump. This kind of bumbs me out, as I was hoping to (some day) move my MMM drive from the rear PTO to a crank mounted, Front PTO.
Thoughts?
