hydraulic dump-box pump
i am planning on putting a dump box on my truck. the dump box has a pto-powered pump mounted on the resevoir (sp), mounted on the frame of the truck i'm taking it off. i am going to put it on a truck w/ a c6 auto, so i'm planning on using a belt driven pump on the front of the engine. i can get the pump from some ag equipment, along w/ some vavles and hoses. do i need to have a tank mounted at the same height as the pump, or can i mount one on the frame. will it draw oil up to the pump?

that's and option, i guess, but i was thinking if i had a crank-driven pump i'd use that to run my snowplow too. where would i get a pump to bolt to the t-case? Are they the same as ones that bolt on man. trannys?

It is best to run a flooded pump inlet. To do that the reservoir is above the pump or at the same level. It is possible to have the reservoir below the pump but that can cause some problems.
The pump should have a clutch unless it is in continuous use for some purpose. Electric motor driven pumps are a good choice for applications that do not require continuous pump output.
When building a hydraulic system get some help from a trained hydraulic technician. Hydraulic systems can be extremely dangerous.

i meant to say pto, not pump, maybe thats what you meant too. would the pto on the trannsmission of my parts truck (4 spd w/ granny low [np 435?] in a '74 f-350) bolt on to my highboy's transfer case (np205) ?

yea, thats what i meant also. it should. at most you may have to get a different spacer, but i have done it a few times on newer trucks, and everything swapped rite in as long as the gears were a match. the hard part is figuring out the direction of rotation before you screw something up.
