Hydraulic Power Cart
If any one is interested, I put together a hydraulic power cart last week for my 337A - and it worked like a charm! I was originally going to buy an adapter from Aviation Enterprises so I could use a drill, but decided on this solution instead. Pump was purchased from Northern Tool, and the various other items from them and other web-based providers. Used old hoses removed from aircraft.
Make easy work out of doing the gear swings and enables you to watch the pressure at which everything should be happening inside your powerpack. Hook it in right at the firewall as it basically simulates the pump.
If anyone is interested - I can make a better drawing of it (or pictures) and can share if you request.
