Frank I've been building oddball things all my life but that's been my job. Now we're basically retired and I have a bundle of things that I would like to make. One of the problems is always powering your devices.thedigger said:
For items such as your rarely used jaw crusher hydraulic power may be an option. Most of us drive modern vehicles with an under utilized hydraulic power supply. I plan to tap into the power steering supply for powering any of these devices that need to be powered on intermittent occasions. Most vehicles run about 10 litres per minute at about 1500 PSI. This is sufficient to run a small hydraulic motor that is compact and can be used like a power take off (PTO). Once you've setup up your PTO on the roobar, towbar or traybody you can attach different items at different times. It's very easy to alter output speed in forward and reverse and your hydraulic system will operate without having to carry separate engines and fuel. It will not interfere with your steering if not used while driving.
Perhaps not the right place to post but it just happens to be the page I'm on
