Joel,

That is the valve I've been looking at, the others specify a greater GPM number.
Will I be able to disconnect, and re connect everything without loosing too much hydraulic fluid, or do I need to find a way to collect what I can ?

Thanks Again,

Paul

You might try your nearest auto parts dealer for cross over referance oil filters, Thats what I had to do with my Cub 7360 and the Napa dealer quickly referanced a replacment for me.
Good luck!

Joel,

I was checking out sources for thoes fuel bags and was surprised to discover a number of manufactures of such bags ranging in sizes from 25 gallon to unlimited larger quanties.
I agree with all the changes in our modern fuels, and the cost of newer diesel equipment, something like what you've described will begin showing up.

I like the idea of being able to store even small amounts of fuel in this manner to avoid the air and moisture problems, and hopefully keeping it fresher.

On another note, I've never heard of a 600 weight gear oil before, " WOW " thoes oil changes would be a challange!

Thanks,

Paul

Joel,

I realy like that plow, simple and easy to use. The one I mentioned in my previous post was an old meyers plow, quite heavy , and due to the irregularity in our roads it was just too difficult to use.
The overall length of both tractor and plow was about 16'
Like driving a board down the road!

The hydraulic tank I'll be using is 15 gal. but it's useable capacity is about 11 gal. Since 11 gal. is closer to what I'll be needing to match the pump, I felt it would be safer than under sizing the tank and having to stop more often due to heat.
The tank also has a temp guage and site guage on it which should help me to keep paying attention to thoes things !

Does your tractor have a block heater? If it does your in luck just plug it in for at least one hour, I usually leave my own pluged on a bit longer when it's cold.

If you don't have a block heater you can try leaving a trouble light on during the night near the oil pan, that
helps if it's in out of the wind. also check your fuel filter for waxing and use a good anti gel diesel additive during the winter, and a good one for summer too!

Good luck !

jobone,

I appreciate your help, I already have the splitter, and with alittle work I'll be able to convert it to work off a seperate fluid and power source.
The splitter is a 16 ton with a 3.5" x 24" cylinder, mounts on the three point, so maybe some legs would be in order.
I dont know how much it would run to convert to a gas motor
opperated set up but it would be worth checking out!
Might have been the way to go from the start, ( live and learn!)
Thanks Again!
