Eventlessbox Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I have collected all the components for my press. Would love any input on ways to assemble and mount before I start that phase. The motor is a 5.5HP 110v. The pump, valves and tank are off an old tractor. The cylinder is 4” bore and is brand new. I’m not positive but my math puts it at a 16 ton press power. I’d love if someone could check me on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowllife Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 There are too many unknown variables for someone to check your math. How many PSI is your pump? An "Old" tractor could have anywhere from 1000-2500 psi system depending on what era is was from. Are you sure your motor is 110v? Although they do exist, "most" 5hp and higher motors are 220-240v. As for the actual design and construction of your press, spend some time and do some reading. I don't believe that style of frame is usually recommended without some heavy modifications.
