Hi all,
I'm modifying the hydraulic system on an old tractor, going to drive the pump off the crank pulley, pump will do 18 gallons/minute at 2600psi at 2200rpm (gear pump). I'm drawing hydraulic oil from the rear casting through at 1 1/2 inch line. I have a 100 mesh filter and housing to go in the suction line, it looks like a regular spin on filter, but just has a mesh screen inside, and can handle 25gpm but does anyone know if the filter has to be mounted vertically (head at top) or could i mount it upside down (filter above head) or horisontally? Filter place said head above filter, but i'm short of space that way (10inch filter).
Ideas anyone?? Thanks.
