Has anybody ever Tee'd into the hydraulic system from the PTO from their service truck to power say a hyd. ram?
I've got a bushing job coming up and I found the hollow ram but no pump. I searched all over my shop for 2 hours and couldnt find it anywhere. So I got to thinking......I've got hyd power on my truck. All I'd really have to do is tee into the pressure side and return side from the lines the run the crane.
Better yet I was thinking maybe make up a set of lines that run off of one of the valve banks for an outrigger cylinder to the hollow ram.
Just out of curiosity has anybody else ever done anything like this before?
