Idea for hydraulics
 

Hey guys, I am thinking of putting a PS pump on the cub for Aux hydraulics for a trailer dump etc not too fussed about the deck and blade. I was looking at the cub and there is a heap of space under the seat and a drive output from the rear of the hydro. So my idea is this mount the pump under the seat drive it from the hydro shaft and make a low profile tank, I have a spool valve handy mount it under there too (it'll fit I checked) with the handle facing forwards thru a hole in the guard and voila Stealth Hydraulics! I would mount the pump beside the engine but the pump would spin backward and on the other side it hits the aircleaner. Any thoughts, criticisms or idea's appreciated


Cheers Andrew

I have been fooling around with the idea of using the "nub" on the back side of a hydro to run something, but "fooling around" is as far as I've gotten so far, not even sure what I would want to "run" yet.

As far as your p/s pump setting next to the engine, running backward goes, is it possible to turn the pump around and face it in the opposite direction?

I did look at it but on one side it fouls on the S/G and the other it hits the air cleaner, plus I like the stealth idea:biggrin2.gif:

Cross the belt and have it face the other direction.

696 are you and ozfarm going to take over the occ site also. as for the hyd. pump is it possible to mount it under the hood just above the drive shaft?:bigthink: thanks john (52md).

Every PS pump I have seen has been way too big for that, unfortunately.

Some newer vehicles have small steering pump with remote reservoir, maybe that would be small enough?

shhhh John you'll tell everyone our plan to take over the world.... one forum at a time:biggrin2.gif: as for the pump too big to go between battery and fuel tank

maybe but im trying to use the pump I have
