What do with a hydraulic motor?

I think that is a brake on the bottom of the motor not a gear box that is the same type that we have on a lot of our equipment the small line on the left is to release the brake.

I took it apart and it was a brake! it Also was a block of rust inside, and since the motor is low pressure I'm going to clean it and cut it down for a model that one of the professors can use in class. Still thinking about the transaxle but I might have something done my monday :thumbsup:

Dont chop that motor, just put a flow control or presure contro valve on it. We use them all the time on hydraulic steering units and some winches. Also whats the the Max intermittant pressure that it can be used with/ I know for a PHD or other application thats used intermitantley it could still be used.

I always thought it would be cool to build a "walking floor" for my flat bed trailer so I could unload firewood or mulch off the back. You could use the motor to power a roller that would wind up a heavy tarp such as the material used as road underlayment. By folding the tarp over on itself it would pull on a slick surface.
