I did a knock off of the Milemarker system using the PS Pump to power the winch as they do on their hydraulic winches.
I went cheap on my Carryall and used a manual spool valve (open center). The PS pump feeds the valve then on to the Hydroboost and PS Box. From the spool valve, 2 lines go to the Char-Lynn motor mounted on the MU-2 Winch.
My M37 is a total Milemarker knock off using their electric valves. Same set up as above, just electric valves. Both work great.
I have quite a few pictures of the M37/Hydraulic set up on my Image Event. Go to; http://imageevent.com/moosecreekmaple/m37project
Near the end of the album is the series of the hydraulic setup. If you want to get into this method, we can talk off line. Best by a phone call, i have to much info to pound out on a keyboard.
