Got my hydraulic/ power steering pump mounted and tried it out. I hooked up a gauge and flow control so I could check the pressure output of the pump. It got up to 1200 PSI before the belt rolled over on the pulleys and trashed the belt. It was a junk China belt from TSC. Gonna try to find a good belt next time. I think 1200 PSI is a little too much so I'm gonna try to shim the relief valve in the pump to lower the pressure a little. I'm thinking 7-800 PSI should be more than enough.
Does anyone know what kind of pressure the hydraulics normally put out on a Cub?
I still need to find a valve and some cylinders but I think I know a guy who might have some I can use. I'll check with him next week.
Sorry guys, no pics yet. I dropped my camera a couple weeks ago and killed it.
