A friend machined a drive for the hydraulic pump from the old unused 6v generator, a surplus military cylinder was pressed into service, and I fabricated a foot control from a spool valve and some scrap steel. Crude, but it works surprisingly well. I ran it for a bit this evening- what a shock after running the D6T all day

my dad did the samething to his D6, but used a 12v electric starter motor for the hyd. pump drive.

From frustration comes innovation!
Did you post that on the ACME board yet, Dave? I'm sure Ozdozer would approve...
Huh! Is that D6....turbocharged? How did you do that?

Hi Alan, I haven't posted it at ACME yet, but I will. The turbo is a TO4 from a DT466 IH.
