Hi there!
I recently came across the hydraulic pump motor from a forklift. As of 2 weeks before then, I'd had a small childrens quad bike (about 49cc aircooled. It went about 15mph and stalled at every opportunity, as well as the clutch spring going twice). Well, I pulled the motor out of the skip, stuck it in my rucksack (now stained orange with rusty water!
) and carried all 25kg of it home (it gave me a bad back for 3 days). I plan to put it on the quad, stretch it, and add a sound system
It'll all be run off 4 car batteries, 2s2p.
One problem. It came with a hydraulic pump on the end, and I cannot get if off for the life of me. the HUGE bolts are actually fittings for valves, and the only other 2 bolts I found that held it together didn't seem to do anything whatsoever. Does anyone recognise the motor? How do I get the pump off without resorting to the angle grinder?
Here are some pics
