    Converting pto driven equipment to hydraulic and the decent into madness!!

    Thanks for the repiles davidc56, I am just worried about the heat and oil breakdown. but hopefully I can find a motor for the winch and pump that are compatable. Question/confirmation for the gallery, the reason the psi seems to be limited to 2000 is to protect the winch, correct?

    Decision on a knuckle boom crane.

    To help those creative juices flow, I already have the parts on the table to peruse! Here's the pic from last nigh (sorry not the best lighting so a little fuzzy) but right off the bat the mounting is smaller for the M35 master.

    Thanks GoodwithWood, Cattlerepairman and Gringeltaube! I got mine from a VERY small town. I even remember having to google map it as the address was a weird combo of Rural Route and a normal address....I would remember Houston. I might have dodged the bullet on this one...but to be safe I...
