The size of your tank depends on what you're going to use it for. With a two-way cylinder, you can estimate capacity simply by the volume that the rod displaces (Surface area of cross section of the rod times length of cylinder) inside the cylinder when it's fully retracted. Multiply that by the number of cylinders you plan to use, and that will be the absolute minimum size of a tank that you should use. One other note: I've replaced engines on tractors like this because the cam shaft timing gear isn't the same as those from the tractors that were built for the live hyd. pumps. When the pump was really loaded up, it shattered the weakest link: the timing gear. That ended up cracking the block, etc. Big mess. So keep that in mind. Make sure you havel a good relief valve in your system to minimize the risk of this happening to you. Sorry my post is so long. Lots to say!
