Since I got the lights to work,--next project is to get the hydraulic system started. Will start with B & S 8 hp motor belt driving an old combine pump and common 2-way valve. Small res. off a combine since the one on it now only holds a gallon and it has 2-way cylinders on the hoist so oil moving both directions and once full and all air out oil level should stay the same.
I guess since they have transmission fluid in it , I will run that in the combine pump,---should work.
I will need to make a box of some sort to cover the motor to keep the weather off it. The current box is too small to hold the gas motor.
