Question for you guys: MUCH of this splitter is made from NPT pipe fittings from the hardware store. I know its the smart thing to do to go with real hydraulic fittings, but, generally what I'm finding is that standard A53/Schedule 40 pipe 1/2" has a 6-10K burst strength but "only" a useable working PSI of 1200-1400psi. The cast fittings (which is entirely what I have) may be more or less. Just looking for input on that as I order more pieces for this thing...
I need to order at least a 3/4" hose for the return for the filter, but to do my sequence valve etc, I've got to disturb the fittings on the cylinders and install tees and not sure which direction to go.
A little more narrative on the progress:
Took hours to get the old pump shaft woodruff key out. Had to alternate heating and cooling the shaft with freeze spray then was able to pound it out like a rocking chair with a pin punch. Turns out, the SAE #505 works for the new series but not the old series pump. Back to the hardware store with the old key.
When I got the jaw coupling, only got one for a 7/8 motor shaft, not a 1". In my defense someone had scrambled the things on the rack.
Got the wiring harness out of the mower. Working on a plan with a wiring diagram to use the Cub cadet harness and eliminating the hydrostat stuff, the brake and seat interlocks, and only have the stuff critical to the lights and the engine so I can run the engine off the ignition switch and add work lights later if I want
