Yeah,, now that I got the video to download, I can go back and cut, edit, and add audio to it. I think I have about 45 minutes of video for the trip. There was so much going on, plus I had to participate. So video was not the primary for the trip. I was the one who helped crawlin73 whinch out when he broke an axle. This is my wife keeping his boy busy during the extraction. And one of you.
A possible JY part is the crank filler & cap from a Rotary engine. OD of the tube should be about right. Just wiggle it out of the rotary engine, it's only lightly pressed in. Most of them have a small vent tube near the top that could be plumbed into the air cleaner or......seschev3 said:

I just turned the axle all the way one way, then closed the ram, set it up there and tacked it. Made sure I had anough stroke to get to the other turn and welded er' in.muddybuddy said:

lol I found me a new one
Well, I'm about 90% done with mounting the ram/plumbing etc. Still have to pretty up and finish grind the mounting tabs and paint etc. On to the pictures-
First thing on order was taking the ram apart and chucking it in the lathe to cut the weld...
Remove the end and weld back on 90* apart-
Mount Ram and plumb lines-
And this is my temporary fluid resivoir extender thingy-
The mounting tabs are made from 3/8x2" flat bar...Jesse's old shackles. If I had had some 1/4" material, I would have used that. The 3/8 material looks alittle goofy. Everything works fine...except I have to be at like 2000rpms to get any assist out of the stock pump. At 2k rpms, I can now turn lock to lock on concrete, where I couldn't before. Below 2k theres nothing. I think the flow/pressure mods are pretty much required with a stock pump. I have a brand new spare that I'm gonna mod and install tommorrow. The one I have on there now, is less than a year old, but has some serious hard abuse on it. If that doesn't work, I guess it's time to start researching aftermarket pumps.
More pictures tommorrow or Friday.

Was reading through the thread and it is full of great info. One thing I questioned was were to mount the taps for the ram stroke.
WFO owner told me to make sure to order a ram not completely sealed to slip a pipe inside to limit the throw. This will limit the stress put on the knuckle when it is turned to the max and the ram says MORE.
Anybody do this?

I limited mine extnerally using lock collars. Internal works as well though, probably better in fact.

wow I had no idea this thread was so old. I got my searches mixed up. Thanks for the tip anyways, didn't think of that.
The info is still good, no matter the age.

Mine is limited by the ram. I tested it before I cranked the motor (up on jack stands) and the ram will reach its travel limit right before the stops hit, there is maybe 1/32 between the stop and the knuckle.

i know this is kinda bringing the thread back.. but do you have to cut off and re-weld the mount onto the ram like you guys all have? i am talking about this ram in specific.. seems like u do to have the hose mounts ontop outta the way when mounted..
