I made one of them 10-15 years ago, using a frame from a 5-8 yard box. Had a St. Paul hoist, but I split the pump off and used just the cylinder by adding a cover plate where the pump was. It is plumbed with two hoses, used on a D17 and various JD tractors. Had to install a check valve in one line so it powers up with only the correct hose, and takes return oil with the other hose. There is also an interconnecting hose in the system- can't remember why I needed that. (Helps you a lot, huh?). I had only the frame of the dump body, so I made the flatbed out of 2+ inch oak planks, laid lengthwise- helps to unload rocks. Pto drive works ok too if you prefer that, but I had plaenty of hyd capacity on all the tractors, so did not use the pump. (Might be that the check valve is in the interconnecting line?) Will check later.
