thank you for you patience.

I agree it looks like a cross over relief except I am confused by the T & P
Tank and Pressure I would think . I have used cross over's before and they say A,B,C,D. I assume it would be installed on some kind of reversible motion say from a 4way to a motor . T & P are not applicable then. It still looks like some kind of relief though.
Where do the hoses go?

Evening gentlemen,

Managed to snap a few pics at lunch.

The Pump is a VICKERS, but I couldn't find any markings on it.

Something else, there is no vent in the Reservoir tank, should there be?, I tried to leave the top of the return Tee on top of the tank open, but even with a 3'' pipe extension screwed into it the oil would spill out the top.

Where should I install the pressure gauge?

I'm gonna disconnect the splitter for now, I need to flush the winch and get her back up and running, weather is gonna be getting cold, and I need to haul my boat out for the winter.

What happens if I disconnect the winch ( when my little ship is on terra firma) and connect just the splitter directly to the Vickers pump. One 1/2'' hose direct to the selector valve, and one back to the tank?

For some reason my pics didn't show up, hope this works...

Yes, there should be a vent in the tank as the fluid will expand.

That flow control valve in post #21 is a Gresen valve, but works like the Parker valve mentioned above. I really don't see a reason to use it unless the pump was to large for the hyd motor on the winch.

It also looks like there are external relief valves below each valve.

Did you tee off the pump or someone else? It looks like you teed into the pressure line for the log splitter. If you are going to use only the log splitter, put a two way valve where the tee is, and just switch between the two attachments.

What was the purpose of the two valves?

I don't understand why you teed into the motor circuit. A QD on the motor side and two female QD, one for the hyd motor, and one for the log splitter would have provided the pressure for the log splitter, or a push pull valve that I mentioned above.

By teeing at the motor, the the fluid would flow through the least resistance. If you used the log slitter, the winch would start to turn.

I see what you mean, manually disconnect one for the other using Quick connects.

Think I will go for the selector, that way I won't run the risk of having neither connected and rupturing something.

The purpose of the two valves?, if you mean the 2 on the top, the one that moves vertically allows the winch to freewheel when the plunger is down, the other is spring-loaded and reverses the rotation of the winch.

I am attaching a pic of the extra pump that I have, again there are some marking on it, but no Brand name, do you have any ideas on the GPM of it? If I decide to make my splitter portable down the road I need to know the hp required.

Thank you for your help.

Wilson

The GPM's are determined by the speed of the pump and the displacement in cu in.

It could be a power steering pump, producing about 1500 psi.

Hook it up with some gages and a bucket and pump out of one bucket into another bucket to measure a certain amount of flow with in a time frame and figure out the GPM. If you can pump 1 Gal in 10 sec, then you have 6 GPM.
