I'm installing an air compressor (I believe it's an SC4) on a Perkins 6-354 (naturally aspirated). This is the style of compressor that bolts to the left side of the engine block. The manual doesn't cover the plumbing for the compressor.
There's a small-diameter tube fitting on the crankcase end-plate (of the compressor, not the engine). Is this the oil feed to the compressor? Where does the oil feed come from on the engine? Should there be a restrictor in the oil feed line? The oil appears to drain back to the engine crankcase through the base of the compressor.

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
