Any one have a photo of their Hydraulic pump mount on a V-4 essex motor. My pump is on the drivers side and driven off of a idle pulley under the fan.
I can't generate the effort I need to lift a Bombardier drag on the rear.
That is partially not true, I can raise it, but the belts are slipping, they are not going to be reliable. I can stall the pump even with extreme tension on the belt. ( yes it is the correct gauge belt)
I am seeking a double pulley for the crank.
I need to stick my head back in there for a possible trans PTO type. I am thinking not on the t-98....
All Hyd functions on this machine work as they should including a large drag for Snomo trails except the raising of the X-country attachment.
I think my options are:

I think my options are:
- larger diameter ram for the lifting function. $$ fairly easy to do.
- Smaller displacement pump. Work in a really tight spot. may slow down other functions.
- Direct drive from crank. easiest if a pully can be sourced.
- electric over Hyd pump for up only. $$ and easy and lazy, heavy plus elect drain.
- Two stage pump. ( need to go shopping in the shed I think i have one)
