half inch npt hose

quarter inch hose

• Wheel motor - $250 - use quick coupling for interchangeability of motor, shared between devices
  • Requires fabrication of quick coupler mechanism - equivalent of bicycle quick release except much stiffer
  • MicroTrac will be required for use on many occasions, so wheel motor, though quick release, should be dedicated to MicroTrac. Another motor, used for MicroTrac auger, should be shared.
• Control valve, 3 body, SAE 12/16 In/Out, SAE 10 work ports, $200 - 25 gpm, # SAE 12/16 IN/OUT ports, SAE 10 work ports
• 3.0 inch cylinder - SAE 8 outlets - $45
• 2 bearings - 1 7/8" - $20 ea
• 2 double split collars - 1 7/8" - $7 ea
• Fittings and hose. Use female quick couplers on motors and cylinders
  • Motor
    • 2 - SAE 10 to 1/2 NPTM straight - $1.89 ea
    • 1 - SAE 4 to 1/4 NTPM - $0.95
    • 2 - 1/2 NPT quick coupler pair - $16 ea

    • 6 - SAE 10 to 1/2 NPTM straight (as above) - $1.89 ea
    • 6 for work ports and 2 for in/outlet - 1/2 NPT quick coupler pair - (note that quick couplers fit just about exactly in allowed space of 1.5" between adjacent ports) - $16 ea
    • 1 - SAE 12 inlet to 1/2 NPT elbow -
    • 1 - for inlet, reducer from 3/4 to 1/2 for inlet hose - $1.60
    • 1 - SAE 16 outlet to 1/2 NPT - (SC has no SAE 16-3/4 hosebarbs) -
• Metal
  • 1 7/8" shaft
  • 1/8x1.5" tubing
  • Bolts and other mounting plates
  • Quick coupler plate metal

NOTES: Make the case drain outlet on the wheel motor accept the case drain from the implement. To do this, use a tee, and have male ends on all motors, and female ends on all hoses.

• Coupler - needs PTO 6-spline to 1-7/8" shaft converter
• Fittings - have PTO motor already; maybe purchase quick connects for it (in/out sae 10, sae 4 case drain)
  • Go from SAE 4 to 1/4 male for $1
  • Go from SAE 10 to 1/2 NPTM at $2
