Ok, it's friday... so here goes. I've liberated a hydraulic cylinder and
valve and now just need a hydraulic pump...  what is the volume and
pressure of the power steering pump in 1) our busses 2) full size ford
truck??  i'm thinking of using an extra power steering pump that i have to
run the log splitter :-)  Now i just need a 6" I beam and some wedges and
i'm in business. (We heat with wood. All we have is a wood stove for heat.
I have 8 truck loads of wood in my driveway that needs splitting....)

cheers
