Need help on rotary broom hydraulic conversion

Nice job locknut.

I presume that you put a shield over the chain and sprockets. Only reason I say this is I watched my sons mitten go round and round on a sprocket once due to a gaurd missing. That took a couple years off the ole pacemaker...

Yep,a new one made from sheet metal to replace the shoddy plastic original.Can be seen in the video.

Just a follow-up question.Now that I have this new power source,what might the possibilities be to utilize it for other purposes? 12GPM @ 1900psi or less flow with the flow control valve.Don't have anything in mind right now but maybe a log splitter down the road.

Log splitter. Jaws of life. Car hoist. Backhoe.

Just took the broom off and have a leak on the suction hose. They made a barb fitting for the pump inlet that's brass and brazed a steel barb to it.The other end is a 90 deg brass. The hose leaks at the steel barb which is smaller than the brass barb by a 1/16".I had to cut the 1" hose to get it off,so now I need a new hose that will tighten up on one fitting that's 1-1/16" and the other at 1-1/8".

Ideas?
