I working on building a hydro cute for my 49 snow blower. I am using the a37 hydro motor I just don't know what diameter hoses i need. I will be hooking this to my 318. 1/4 3/4???
Thanks

1/4" hose is all you need.

Where is the pictures of your hydro chute build?

How big of a piston are you going to use? I also would like to see how you mount this so you can get 180ish degrees without binding up.

Ummm, 600 rpm? What kind of speed reducer are you planning on using to get it down to a reasonable speed.

Even the A125 is too fast at 188 rpm, but at least its doable with some creative reduction.

If you can't get the chute rotation down below 20 rpm (3 seconds for a full 360* chute rotation), forget about it!

me thinks that a needle valve for flow control is called for at those speeds:Stop:

I am going off this thread http://jd318techforum.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=mods&action=display&thread=13

So its not the a37 its the a25 not that it makes a huge differnence

So a flow control is part of the circuit. That makes more sense.

I do understand why it is on the blower with the layout of JD hydraulics, but adjusting it for the correct speed is not going to be as easy as it would be of it was within reach of the operator.
