snow plow pump

[junkyardmohr1989]

i read a thread on this and still a lil confused

i no some pumps run off motor and some run off 12v sorce

im looking to jiuce a blazer but was wondering if useing this pump is fine
i dont want to hope or any of that shit i just want to lay it out at lights,shows and for the girls of course lol

i mean i understand it will be slow but will it works with different dumps and ext

i was told it does but the guy that told me....wel his shit a cobbled togeather and i dont trust was he says

the reason i ask is
with the pump being engine driven or electric
to me it would take less space (batterys and such) and look a lil cleaner
im on a budget so
all your information would help
thanx everyone

I think snow plow pumps produce less pressure than the hydraulic pumps used on mini trucks. I'll do some research and find out for sure.

thanks a lot man
i read that they build the same amouth of pressure but r geared different.....there geared for liftin/moving wieght not bouncing and blah blah blah....like i said i just want to see if its possible to use and set up just to lay frame and lift and lower my truck

It is possible.. you just have to plumb it correctly for it all to work..which can be a lil difficult if you dont know what you are looking at..

thats what i like to see
every other time iv asked someone on here for a answer to a question of mine there always like.....design it and figure it out yourself....its like thanks a**holes


anyways heres what im trying to use
its a Fisher Plow set-up off a mid 80s GMC/Chevy full size pick-up, it is a four way power angle plow set up
it has the belt driven design hydraulic pump that runs off the engine

[Tim99Zr2]

which hose is for the control unit? im assuming its the single hose?

but i dont know shit about hydros. im tryin to figure out how to do hydro assist steering on my truck.

good luck

[junkyardmohr1989]

accually i really dont no
i didnt take this pic i found it but i got the same set up from my brother and i no it works cuz he parted out the truck it was on and he used to plow with it

hydro assist steering is a BITCH
we did it on my brothers blazer with dana 70s and 48s on some 24s......ya it was a pain it the ass
but after all said and done it works like a champ

[Tim99Zr2]

yea, from what i've read its not too bad.

but i would assume the two hoses oon the metal plate with the caps on a strap would be where you would hook your cylinders up to. then the single hose some how would control the up / down of the rams.?

cylinders, is that what you call them? or rams? haha. but ya know what i mean.

you'd have to t off them for front/back thou.

[junkyardmohr1989]

idk...im really hoping someone can shop me like a scematic of how this would work cuz im really wanting to do it
plus if i go threw with this it will save me the money i need for my rims

[ftp ride]

imo its not worth it.........you can find a nice set of used pumps for $200-$300 all day long.by the time you buy fittings/adapters,hoses etc plus your time its not worth it and it wont be as nice as some real pumps..........plus if its slow as fvck theres nothing you can do about it where as with some pumps you can just add another battery

[NastyRedz]

Ill try to draw you a plumbing scematic tomorow.

You can use It to lift the whole truck up and down using the main lift spool. and also you can tee it off to use the other spool for front to back

what size hydralic cylenders should i use
i was thinkin 8" in front and 10" in back
i want it to sit stock hight and fully lay out
thanks for your help

ya i can see where your comming from
i see what your saying bout time invested but.....really all i do is go to work come home and have nothing to do so doing somthing with nothing with all the time in the world i figure why not do it sence no one i now near close to me has anything set up like id like to do it

like you said it will be slow but f*ck it im not much for speed lift
maybe with bags but.....it wont bother me

i honistly have to say i looked at some pics of your truck and for havin some juice.....your shit is tight
i love the rear set up
extremly inspireing for me
the stance at up and layed is beautiful lol

[ftp ride]

cool man if you decide to go with it good luck

Sorry i did not get that print made up yet , ive been real busy. If you have a way to bolt up a plow pump to your truck. thats cool. If it were me, I would use electric valves,, but you want to use what you have. If you use spool valves , it's fine but you probably wont like having to run levers insted of switches. But you can. you can also tap into a power steering pump and use that as your pump. You use a priority valve, set it up as steering priority and hydro suspention as a second, My self I would either use a forklift lift pump for the flow, or just put in a 2 pump electric setup , with 3 batterys charging off the engine. I'm not trying to complicate anything , you only have a low volume pump. Your going to hate the thing. I promise.
