Your idea of using a gauge and a gate valve in a hose is a poor man's flow rater and it does work. You have to have the gauge between gate valve and scv. With gate valve fully open you will be measuring free flow. When closing gate valve you start testing pump.
The problem is measuring the gal's per min. You need to dump into a container and time how long it takes to get a specific amount of oil. Of , course, that container is going to fill real fast so you have to stop and dump it back into system.
Or, another gate valve to direct it one of two ways,one into container and a quick switch into system.
Now, as far as blowing the safety valves on a factory flow rater and have oil all over, I would say that was a early flow rater that was not an inline flow rater. In other words, the return had to be totally unrestricted right to dump. An inline flow rater, you can return oil right back through other port of scv or downstream to any other accessory in system you are testing. I know about the mess, have done it.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
