Thought id share my plans for a hydraulic test harness for those of you wishing to do a quick test of your hydro system.
My tractor is a Jinma 224, which i wasnt sure was operating at maximum hydraulic potential as the loader lift seemed a little weak. So knocked together a 5000 PSI test harness to check.

Crank all these together to three rotations past finger tight, drop the gauge into your dashboard somewhere you like, and hook it into the QC right off the hydraulic pump output. Voila.. hydraulic pressure check you can view during using the loader/etc
