Ford 3000s use a piston pump for the
hydraulic system. It produces 4.4 gpm.
The next generation Fords - 3600, etc use a
gear pump. Those produce 8.8 gpm.
It would be pretty easy to bolt a 3600 pump
onto a 3000. Just requires a bit of
plumbing of the pressure and return lines.
What, if any issues could doubling the flow
cause in a hydraulic system not designed
for it?
It is a question I have had in the past but
never got answer to.
