I made a sidearm cutter one time for my Ford 1720 compact tractor
powered by a 5 h p gas engine. At the time I made it I did not have
remote hydraulics on my tractor, but powering a mower deck on an angle
wa aiffy situation. I later acquired a PTO driven hydraulic pump which
opened up a lot of different avenues to do things as far as hydraulics
is concerned. I zeroed in on a stash of hydraulic motors I had laying
aorund unused, and after a ot of experimenting in avenues that I had
not much of a clue in, I finally got one that worked just perfect to
power up a mower deck. It about maxes out my hyd pump in regards top
gph flow needed. I am lost when it comes to gph, and the torque
ratings, and have no clue what my motor is rated at as there is no
data plate etc on it. I owuld definately go with a motor that needs no
further reduction or increase, for best results.... Checkout surplus
center as they have a heap of hydraulic motors.

I'm trying to run a mower deck with a hydraulic motor. It spins @ 90 rpm
and I need to provide 2200 rpm. I was planning on #60 chain @ 4:1 from
motor to a jackshaft then single belt @ 6:1 to get the speed up. Will this
work or do I need to re-think? Thanks in advance!
