For the post hole digger and grader blade, you will not need much flow since the lift arm cylinders are so small. I am not sure where you are from, but in Ky, we had a lot of hauns Hi boys for spraying tobacco and the later ones with hydraulics all had a pump that was driven by the alternator belt, which only drove these two things, no fan or water pump. I am not sure how much pull the generator has on the belt. Are you going for stock look or just usiblilty? If you just want to use it for now, I would take off the generator, don't trash it, just keep it around in case you would ever want to restore it, and replace it with a delco alternator off of an old chevy truck with a double pully. For this, I would line up the inside pully to drive the alternator from the engine and then use the outside pully to drive either a hydrailc pump off of a hi boy sprayer (which are pretty good for their size) or a power steering pump off of a GM truck. You won't need 2800psi to lift either of those things. Now for the log splitter, there are about 3 things I would do. First, if you want to spend some money on it and make it more versitile, go find yourself a 5hp honda or briggs, what ever you prefer, and add a hydrailic pump to that, which will cost you some. Second, get a PTO mounted pump and run it off of that, since you won't be needing live power on the splitter. 3rd, would be to run it off the contraption up front if you don't care much about speed. Hope this gives you some good ideas. Hurst
