[QUOTE="mrfixer, post: 130615, member: 23736"] Not sure what happened to my earlier post... so here it is again I have a '63 - '65 M-444 - the engine on it has seized, so I pulled it out. While I'm shopping for a replacement motor I wanted to test/assess the hydraulic system. Since the unit wasn't running I know nothing about is operation, leaks, etc. Is there a way one could test some of the components individually? I thought if I could spin that hydraulic pump some way, I could build the pressure in the system and be able to test the directional valves, cylinders, etc. I have a Jet electric motor, 2hp 1750rpm that can spin Clockwise or CounterClockwide. If I could fashion an adapter that mates to that splined shaft on that pump could that work for testing individual circuit branches in the system? Danger, cautionary tales, etc - are welcome [/QUOTE]
