Handful of ways to refuel a LP.
If you are in a remote area and using it only occasionally you can just get a pressure hose hooked up to the liquid side of your bulk tank. You need to do this in a area that is well ventilated cause you will need to vent off the vapor side of the tractor tank. Also this needs to be done with the tractor engine cool and you need to wait for gases to blow away before starting up. Really this method is only good for the occasional user.
The next option is a Krug hand pump. I have one of these and it works very well for tractors mid sized tractors like those from the 50's. I think the last price I saw on one of these was about $500 for a kit including the hoses.
Up from that is a electric pump. I have one I got used so really can't help much on the price. Never set it up, got the hand pump and it has worked well for my use.
One thing I will offer is the draw point from the nurse/bulk tank. I know the instructions for the Krug advised to pull the liquid from the dead bottom of the tank opposed to using a dip tube. USE THE DIP TUBE!! LP has a couple products that will settle out. Usually about the consistency of gun grease. It stinks to high heaven and creates all sorts of havoc with the carburation systems.

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
