I had a Shop mule (A engine) that had an added hydraulic system. Maybe about a one gallon reservoir, but the size depends on your application, size of cylinder, etc. There was a small pump that ran off the generator belt. I don't think it is a power steerin pump, but similar. Northern Tool has small pumps made for pulley operation that I think would work. They cost around $100 I think. Mine had a home made bracket to mount it and a little longer belt for the generator so that the belt ran both the generator and the pump. Pretty good set up, as you don't really need a relief valve, as the belt will just slip on high pressure. The set up was used ot lift a snow plow blade with about a 1 1/2 inch cylinder (one way) and a control valve. Worked well. This same setup was adapted to my I-6 where the snow plow now resides. Works good. I've never measured the pressure, but it has no problem with the blade which is heavy.
