Thanks to TOH for putting up with my questions and piecing together a system that gives me live hydraulics. I learned a lot from TOH and reading everything I could get my hands on.
We also worked in some extra remote ports so I could supply a home made hydraulic top link with one valve and when I need, an old Dearborn loader with the other valve. TOH even supplied me with a detent kit for one of the valves so I can supply constant flow of hydraulic pressure to an old log splitter and continue to use the valve on the splitter.
I got lucky last year and picked up a 9GPM old Vickers vane pump for $75 off of ebay. Rebuilt it by changing all of the seals, bearing's and vane's and very slightly sanded all of the pump plate surfaces. I get 2200lbs of pressure if I momentarily dead head the pump.
Next I m going to add a hydraulic cylinder to my old ford back blade so I can change the angle from my seat.
Here are some picts. Of my rebuilt Vickers pump. An external 100 mesh hyd. fluid strainer. Return hose to the top of the shifter housing. Some picts of the valve assembly and proportioning valve. Ridged connection to the 8N's hydraulic test port (AKA Live hydraulics). Hose routing and home made hyd top link cylinder that gives me 18" of adjustment on my 3 pt attachments.
TOH designed the valve and proportioning diverter valve mounting plates along with the 2 hydraulic sump plugs that allow the connection of the suction lines, and also the return line adapter to the hydraulic fluid fill hole on the shifter plate housing.
