Hello. well yesterday I acquired one of these. I read up on them, but am far from knowledgable. This one has the 48" belly mower with hydraulic lift. It also has the 3-point hitch that lifts hydraulically. Both lift simultaneously. I find this to be kind of a nuisance. When mowing with nothing...

An ingenious idea you have. I modified an old Sears mixer to mount via 3-point hitch, and just last w/end modified it to run with a hydraulic motor off of my newly installed rear hydraulics Q/c's. Now I can run the drum by changing position of my selector valve. I left the electric motor on it...

Last year I modified a PTO coupler to drive a pump that was the main pump on a Cat electric fork-lift. I added a tank,etc. to a tractor and used it to run a 3-pt splitter. It worked & split anything, but was pretty slow...even with the PTO in the 1000 rpm mode. This didn't surprise me, as I knew...

I usually lurk in the Hydraulics section, but thought I'd post this video of one of my latest build-it projects....recently test ran. My Homemade CSM w/Hydraulic Chainsaw - YouTube John

This was one of several winter projects I had going. I picked up a Coleman Powermate generator unit that had quit generating. Got it just for the engine, which was good. I knew the gen portion of these were not known to be worth much, and after looking into that end of it, I saw a bunch of burnt...

I am wondering how accurate it would be to place a 1 cu.in. hydraulic motor on a source and checking it's RPM with a mechanical stem-tach to get close on flow settings? I wonder about average losses against theoretical. It seems to me that with 231 cu.inches in a gallon, that theoretically, 1...

Here is a circuit diagram of a circuit I intend to experiment with. This diagram is showing the circuit with the main valve centered, and the regen valve de-energized....with oil going to Tank as it would normally. The gauge on the P line is showing 0 PSI or a no restriction circulitory P to T...

JJ posted a link to this 'new' valve on another thread. Has anyone played with one yet? The specs show examples, which are kinda confusing (cyl speeds). It also seems to imply that it does regen on return stroke too? For the money it sounds great either way? I may experiment with a regen...

Hello. I am trying to drive a Prince PTO pump (540rpm-21gpm), via a jackshaft off of a 65hp Wisconsin V465D Engine. I acquired this pump mainly for it's GPM for speed on a log-splitter/mini firewood processor I am building. I so far have built a pulley drive using (4) 3v belts from the...

I am looking for one of these....new or used. I now have 2 of these tractors & the latest one has this plate, the other does not. It is aluminum with an in & out port using 3/8" NPT female swivel fittings. I do not know what threads (SAE o-ring?) are in the plate itself, as I have not removed...
