Thread: Independantley powered hydraulic winch D3

I've finally done it, after designing the power takeoff that went opposite to the way my pump went I have finally designed and installed the bracketry and power takeoff for an independent hydraulic pump which is powering my hydraulic winch.

Thanks for sharing,

Oil reservoir is the ZF plastic PS reservoir in the second pic.

No oil cooler required

The pressure comes from a modified ZF PS pump as in pic 1, I bought it with the modifications to run this type of winch, I don't know what pressure it runs at

Return line is the line that comes out of the solenoid bank.

setting up the winch was easy, designing the bracket and power takeoff for the D3 was difficult
