While I am a scarcastic SOB most all the time, my surprise and delight to learn about a PTO simulator is genuine. One thing on my mind at the moment is that the Unimog has a distinct advantage in visibility from the driver seat for manipulating a front end implement. I doubt the deuce could be...

Wow, a hydraulically driven PTO simulator! I had no idea those even existed! I have to agree that a 3 point system is a really valuable piece on a work truck. Especially on a winch truck. I have seen videos of Unimogs winching enormous logs out of the woods using a winch and a blade that is...

Gerhard, regarding the mounting of the pump, is that front bearing section with the yoke a purchased item or did you assemble it? Rick

Gerhard, thank you for these references. The second example of your dump system sounds like what Ty is recommending in that if the system is capable of delivering 12 gpm at 800 engine rpm then it may have the capacity to pump 20 gpm at 1600 rpm, if the hoses and valves are not a restriction...

Spicergear, M16ty and all, I have studied this statement and understand what you mean about the different types of valves. Spool valves for motors connect the (A B) power ports to the tank at center position, allowing the motor to push the fluid back. The ram spool valves block the A B ports...

Ok, I understand and accept the utility of a 4 way, 3 position, open center valve with a detent on each position. That will give me the "on/off" positions I wanted and in addition will have the reversing feature for operating say, a winch. Next questions: What size (in GPM) should I build for...

I see you have the filter is installed on the return side, vs the suction side where I drew it. Good to know. Ty, I think we are describing the same thing: an open center valve (or valves) are needed to create circulation, and must be operated to pressurize the couplings. I was trying to...

Technology makes my head hurt Here is what I envision such that the truck has the ability to run a open centered system without dedicated valve banks fitted to the terminations. Instead there is a single "on/off" valve that provides an open center if there are no implements attached to the...

Draw ver 0.0 Ok, so my knowledge may be so out of whack that my questions are unanswerable. so excuse me while I whip this out..... Rick

Cheers runk, I appreciate the links to any discussions and materials at this point! Thanks Ty, I get that I can build an open center system at lowest cost, pick a pump for the highest anticipated flow and build a system with the largest reservoir that I can possibly manage. More newb...

That's "the phrase that pays!" I did not know the term for what I was seeking, thanks! However the kits available on the first page of results found in my search are out of my price range. Most likely I'll piece something together to keep it more affordable. WM I had the same thought for...

Guys, I'm looking for some ideas about how to fit hydraulics to the deuce for a variety of purposes: knuckleboom, dump bed, rear winch, log splitter, chain saws, you name it. I have a hard top deuce with front mounted PTO winch. I recently purchased a transfer case PTO for operating a pump...
