I sure have to agree with you on that. The most expensive of the mil vehicles, the Stewart and Stevenson's, are the ones always being towed out of high water and or getting their inhabitants killed. All that electronics is expensive in more than just money...people dying. And of course NOT...
On the picture with the lift, is your lifting points toward the rear like it is sitting in that photo or towards the cab?
Photo shows a single, appears about 4-5".
I've always wondered if the high amount of flow for a winch (a 3/4" valve for power beyond about 30gpm) will work very well for a plow that uses very small flow (5-10 gpm). Let me know how it works when you do it .
Apparently the valve (if you have the same as Jbulach) is set up for flow going to tank from the return line of the work port that does not pass through the 2nd valve. That style does have a tank line.
There are also the type that put that flow into the thru feed port and don't use the...
The "out" side of the (new) valve goes to the pressure in side of the old valve where the pump was connected. Pressure goes from pump to the new valve and then into the old valve then to the tank. No...no tank line. The new line does have to be a pressure line, not low pressure tank return line.
Check out this if you want to go the selector route. I'd have the detente and this link is to the 1" since it's cheaper

Or you can go electric (but sol does not...
Jbulach is right, the correct designation is "power beyond". It won't have a relief and has full pressure/flow on it's "out" side.
I thought the winch motor was blocked in the neutral/center position, not open to tank...but I haven't had my 925 in a few years, so take Jbulach's word on that...
It's an open center system. The spool has closed ports until it is shifted forward or reverse, but there is a path for oil to go from pressure to tank. The pump has gears and pumps all the time.
You don't need a different pump, you need a valve that would be installed on the pressure side...
You need a through feed valve that is just as large as the existing valve or a 2 section valve... and larger capacity tank. Post pictures of what you have.
This is an old thread. Do you have a question?
The 545 should directly replace the 1545. They are the same except the military had Allsion put in a locking torque converter, making it a rare, but rebuild-able bird.
Check and see if it has the PTO spur gear and if it does, you can buy my...
If anyone wants help putting a hydraulic system using a PTO with pressure compensation pump together, send a PM. The PTO's I have are not the same but I have no doubts the flange kits are available for about any pump mounts. I'm peddling my fixed displacement (for 939 series and M35A3 (high...
Recycle wood from old house
Posting this here because the wood that I recycle can be used in a gasifier or a boiler. And potentially the gas fed into an engine (not there yet, but the purpose of this thread).
The pictures attached of the house is a property that I just bought...well was paid...
Keep it a dump...don't change it. Here is a shot of my 817 (sold) which would be about the same. I love the looks of this series. After having the 817 and a 929, don't even think of going to super singles (on the rear). The duals are a much more stable ride with a load. If I had a way, I...
I notice one very important thing...the bed is propped up so water does not pool. Good find. I had one located for $4500 and then they decided to get it running and they wanted $6500. Good luck
Tracer, I think there is silicone in wd-40 so be sure and let it wear off completely before painting. I don't know for sure about the Behr acrylic but most paints orange peel if there is even a small amount of silicone.
Try using used synthetic motor oil on the tires, apply liberally and...
