I got an email from a fellow asking who one would mount a hydraulic pump on a vertical shaft engine in a resivoir. He has a log splitter factory made (out of business now) that is missing the motor and pump. It originally had the motor mounted directly on top of the resivoir with the pump attached to the motor and running submerged in the actual resivoir. How would this be done. I just can't see or visualize it. Resivoir has outlets directly from side to cylinder and valve, so evidently it must have had flexible line from pump outlet to the resivoir tanks outlet. Thats about the only way I could visualize it. As for return it would be simple enough to plumb ridgid tube from pump inlet to tank bottom or to a strainer.
Any thoughts?
