What can I do with a electric/hydraulic pump? Hmmm...

[lennyzx11]

So this is different.

I scored a brand new hydraulic pump really really cheap brand new like on my dump trailer. It is double action.

Trouble is, I don’t have a project for it! Yet!

Maybe use it to lift that heavy outside basement door. My back is getting tired of that. Little overkill there though.

Or dump bed the 4 wheeled hay wagon. But it’s fine the way it is for what I use it for.

I have cylinders, hoses, valves, fittings, and other junk to add to it. And a fairly complete shop to fabricate with.
Just need to come up with a project.

Ideas?
Off the wall is good. Just a realistic use required though.

Mount a batterybox and trickle charger to an engine hoist, replace the jack with a cylinder?
Add 3-point and/or loader quickchange to the back end, and have the pendant either on a wire reel or a curly extension cord so it will reach a tractor seat? Or set it up with one of these remote kits?

Make a lift table for lawn mowers, motorcycles, etc...
