If you do hydraulic repair you want to start with cylinders first. Most gear and vane fixed displacement pumps are now throw a ways. You can buy clones for less than the labor to tear down and rebuild, never mind the parts. if you want to get into hydraulics just get hold of me and I can give 40 years worth of advice.

Busy.
Been on Christmas vacation since mid december and this is my last week off. Been working full time, so really not much of a vacation.
And not as much shop progress as id like. But did get a little done. Moved the small mill and lathe from the house in Houston to the farm. And also finished moving a 15hp Fairbanks Morse Y engine.
Bought it years ago, but could only move the jug as the gooseneck was too big to get back to where the guy had the engine. And the 2wd pickup would get stuck in the moist dirt even on dry days.
I used a small rental told bed trailer to move the small machine tools, had to have the trailer all weekend, so just used the 4wd suburban to move the engine. Good thing too, I had to drive through a wet ditch loaded to get out, almost didn't make it. Was throwing all sorts of mud.
Been moving so much small stuff and just dumping in the building, shop is an insane mess

Thanks guys.
Yeah it's getting a mite cramped inside the building. I'm going to be doing a bunch of organizing in the shop tomorrow, hopefully make the space more usable.

nice shop.
nice tools.
you can never build them big enough
( if you need space I would take that big lathe off your hands )

I figure I should give this thread a bump. Still working on junk, but with all the rainy weather we've been and as busy as school keeps me, it's slow going.
I joined the FSAE society at UH. They build a 1/4 scale F1 car and race other schools. I haven't had much time to be involved, but for the last month or so I've been making suspension parts for that car.
This is the steering pinon box for their little car.
Hopefully can get these guys taken care of here soon and can get back to working on my stuff. Spring is starting to get here and I need to fix some iron.![0225181600[1].jpg](https://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/data/attachments/163/163657-7e29250d3d40f159c7f4b14ffc507aa5.jpg "0225181600[1].jpg")

thanks guy, it's very slow going and can be super frustrating at times.
My goal for this year is too get all the machine tools, farm equipment and heavy equipment fixed. Or at-least in a position where the engines start....
