I actually have a 1952 Stage I Super M so its got the larger engine and higher
gearing but no live hydraulics.
No actually this is to go on a Cub Cadet model 70 or 72, thats why I only
expect it to lift 300# or so. I'll probably use 2 cylinders to save money and
get a reasonable lift speed.
Which should be plenty of pressure, its flow I'm more concerned about.
I suppose I could spin it and find out. Or in the spirit of a Maker I could
just build it and see what happens.
