So I have this whacky hydraulic lift pump on my lawn mower. Its a pretty simple belt-driven unit, but it is old, worn, damaged, and I can't keep shaft seals in it.
Since the installation of this unit removed a lot of parts for the manual lift system it came with originally, and its an old mower and parts like that aren't readily available, so putting the manual lift lever back in isn't really an option.
I'm thinking of putting a bi-directional electric pump on to replace the belt-driven on. There is a "toolbox" cavity under the seat pan that can easily be used, and it has a 12V 30 amp starter/generator, so power for something momentary like this shouldn't be an issue. I just need to find a pump that will fit and work. I doubt this belt-driven pump is putting out more than about 50 PSI, for what it does I'm betting 10 or 20 would get the job done.
The space I have to work with is about a foot long, maybe 6 inches wide, and 7 deep. I may be able to get a little more.
Anyone know of anything that might fit the bill?
