As many of you know, I've been working on adding hydraulics to my 100.
I'm using a GM power steering pump running off the back of the engine. To get the rotation correct the pump had to be turned around and I made a jackshaft and used 2 belts to run the pump. Right now I have the relief valve in the pump set at about 700 psi
A 2 spool valve off of a JD 317 garden tractor.
It will be mounted under the seat since there's nowhere else to mount it where it won't look awkward or be in the way.
The lift cylinder will be on the left side of the dash tower because there is not enough room on the right side with the pump there. I had to cut a 3/8"x6" slot in the tunnel for an arm to attach the cylinder to the new rock shaft.
This is a pic of the cylinder arm attached to the new rock shaft.
Here is the other side of the rock shaft attached to the 3 point lift.
This is the lift bracket for my front blade. I'll have to do some work to my lift rod to clear the pump bracket.
I still need to make a clevis to attach the cylinder to the rock shaft and make the deck lift arms to weld to the rock shaft and then finish welding everything together. Routing the hoses and trying to make it look clean may be the hardest part of this project. There isn't much room to run the hoses inside the frame.
