I have an older truck mounted piston pump located in the reservoir and was wondering if I could mount an 1750rpm electric motor straight to it or if I need to reduce the speed. For a forging press I’m making. Thanks, Jim
 
Welcome Jim, Fill out your profile so we know where you live and something about you.

You should post a photo of what you have and better description of what you plan to do. Press size, current truck mount pump size, etc. ?

Short answer- it probably will be difficult. It may also not deliver enough GPM.
 
I finally figured out how to do the profile. NOT computer savvy….. Here is the pump. No tag, name or anything. Came from a guy that kept good stuff. Oil inside was clean. No clue what truck it came off of or age. I can’t figure out how to add pictures…..

what type of reservoir is the pump located inside of? what was the pump used for on the truck? Was this a reservoir/pump used to drive a ram on the truck, such as a dump truck? Any idea what pressure it operated at? What drove the pump on the truck? From the engine via a belt or something?
