Do you know of any good websites on making some projects from recycling auto parts?
I have a couple of small hydraulic projects in mind that someday I would like to realize. I would like to use autoparts for these for example power steering pump for a hydraulic pump. This may be slow but maybe I can live with it or try something else. Some projects are a woodsplitter, press, and lifts.

I have been told that gear pumps can be driven as motors. Would this work with a ps pump?

Just Wondering

Actually I am wondering if there is a hydraulic motor that runs at around 8k rpm at nominal gpm. It would be for a hydraulic chain saw blade

I have an a/c compressor for my air compressor. Slow but works.

I have seen this done before. How do you oil the compressor? Tom S.

Put just a squirt from can in the intake of the compressor every time you use it and it works fine. This compressor has lasted 2 yrs and still going here.

Dave, most P/S pumps have a "FLOW CONTROL" valve in them to keep the flow constant due to the varying speeds they run at in auto application. I am most familar with G.M. But they all have to have some type of flow control. The valve by-passes some of the oil back to the reservoir to maintain a constant flow. If you remove the valve it will by-pass all the oil back to the reservoir. Auto P/S pumps also are not made to work at a constant high load. A two stage pump works best for log splitters.

A P/S pump would make a mighty slow log splitter. They're designed for about a 1.5" cylinder. It would push a 3" cylinder awfully slow.

Maybe you could gang two or three together though.

Would a 3" cylinder be necessary for a wood splitter?
