Ok I got hold of a nice 12VDC Hydraulic Pump out of an old Electric Lift truck. It was hooked up to one cylinder which raised the forks. The pump started and lifted the load. To lower the load it has a dump valve and the weight of the load lowered the forks.
How can I utilize this setup on a plow! I want to have power angle as well. Keep in mind there is one pressure port and one return line to tank. Can anyone help me along here?
I'd like to do this without spending a lot of money I don't have!
Thanks!

I would just buy a Fenner pump off ebay for $425


Other than that you prob can't even find parts to make that happen....If you would be able to they won't be cheap

Thanks Lawngodfather, at that price it's not even worth thinking about trying to do it my way.

Keep your eyes peeled at Princess Auto.They have a similar (Fenner too I think) pump setup to run a plow,and they are usually on sale for $500 or so Canadian.
