#1. How was the pump driven: If it was direct PTO shaft driven,(from the truck PTO) it may not be usable with a "Side Load", such as a belt or chain drive. That is: it may only have a bushing, instead of a roller or ball bearing where the input shaft goes in..which will wear and leak with a side load. #2. How fast did it run on the truck? Some pumps only run 600 to 1000 RPM on the truck, and put out adiquate gallons per minute at those speeds. Small engines are typically horsepower "Rated" at 3600 RPM..if you tried to run a truck pump that fast you"d have LOTS of gallons per minute of flow..and unless you have VERY LARGE lines you"d create lots of back pressure,(trying to "Force" too much flow through small lines) and need LOTS of horsepower to overcome that, PLUS, create lots of HEAT! #3. Finally..how much Horsepower did that truck engine have??? Are you going to try to achieve what a 250 Horsepower Cummins Diesel did..with an old lawnmower engine ? AND: what were you going to use for oil tank, or reservior? A truck system can get by with a small,(5 gallon) reservior, because it only runs for a few minutes, putting a hoist/box up> then it has time to cool off. If you want to run that same system contionous, you"ll need large reservior capacity...2 to 3 times the GPM of the pump, as a rule of thumb. Vast plans start with half-vast ideas!

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
