Thanks Toby. I do remember see about the check valves. I was under my M936 the other day, I was thinking how to mount the pony motor. Mounting the pony motor and pump on the rotator will make things so much easier to work on. I want to keep this project simple and functional.

I would like to put the motor on the rotator, so I can run the throttle while hoisting, just not sure if I can back feed the fluid to run the rear winch and I still need to get fluid to the front winch.

I have a few options on power plants. I have the engine I posted earlier and an old 4000 LB propane...

I like the idea of a Miller Trailblazer. Really nice units and then you have power and a welder on the truck.

It is only a 60 hp motor. It would be better in a jeep though.

My buddy has this rebuilt Diesel engine. I think it would work great on the wrecker.

I am buying a wrecker from my buddy and I would like to run the rear section off a pony motor. I have been following this thread, but it doesn't seem like we are getting anywhere. Can the rear crane and rear winch be run off a small diesel motor? What HP would it need to be? Would an electric...
