Hello, first post here. I'll be picking up a new to me 1978 Bobcat 722 shortly with a fully rebuilt original Ford 1.6L engine and a chassis with fairly modest total hours.
My intended use is mostly light personal landscaping. I realize the early models are quite crude, analog, and spartan by modern standards. As am I it seems….LOL. I also realize there are more challenges in getting replacement parts for these 45 year old machines.
I'm a wooden boat restorer by trade, so I tend to deal with and prefer vintage equipment.
The Auxiliary flow is a modest 10gpm. That's one area where I would have preferred a bit more power when considering accessory attachments.
Is there much that could be done to increase auxiliary flow at lest a modest amount?
I do realize increased pressure increases strain on the machines existing hoses/fittings/pistons so my expectations are limited.
Thanks in advance,
George
