Well its not 100% finished, and theres no bling, and it has not been tested as yet as I am waiting on some hydro fluid from John at mini king.....but it appears it will do the trick..... 
All made with surplus parts, except for the hose and reducer fittings ($80) and tractor tyre water adapter ($50)....not a very cheap way for going about it, but thats the joys of regional profit markup

It reminds me of a line from Everybody Loves Raymond: Quote: I know what this is.....it's a sex machine!

There are cheaper ways of making one.... 
The fitting on the end is a valve extension. They are often used on dual wheels on trucks. They cost a couple of bucks. You just silver solder it to a hose fitting (borrowed from NSWGR) and bingo! I just use coolant. (33% glycol) instead of hydro fluid.

I redid a radius arm a few months ago, and at 12:30 my old hydro pump decided not to hold any pressure, so by 12:40 I'd made one like yours Jason

I'm experimenting with 100% at the moment
(well, I say 100%, the bottle says 95%, there was some fluid in there already, and I only put it in one side, so the actual percentage is up for dispute - it was nearly 1am and I just squirted in what was in the bottle) |
