I hate when that happens...

0.91 gpm? Not what I'd want for a FEL. The stock B7100 pump is a bit slow @ 3 USGPM. Besides, that's not a pump, it's a 12 hydraulic power unit. @ 1.6KW, it's going to draw >130A. The stock B7100 dynamo delivers 10A. It's going to kill the battery in short order. Much better to get a PTO or...

The pump may be capable of generating 3000 psi, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea for your application. Aside from the pressure ratings of the other components in the system, the engine may stall if it can't produce the required horsepower. You can still use that pump; simply set the...

If you want the original style, it might be worth contacting White House Products in the UK. They show one in their catalog, unfortunately out of stock at the moment. But their prices are generally very reasonable even with shipping and quality is excellent. I'm not sure what tariffs might...

No "probably" about it. The stock B7100 pump is 3USGPM. The FEL pump is likely somewhere between 5 and 10.

No he wouldn't. Landing a rocket requires fuel -- fuel that had to be carried aloft with the initial launch, making the vehicle bigger and heavier, requiring even more fuel to get it aloft, etc. etc. Not to mention the mass of the extra landing motors and fuel tanks, which need more fuel to...

Ok, good luck. You now at least know you can expand/refine your search by looking for Goodyear trailer tires in that size.

That's not the original style tire. That's a trailer tire. Many have used those as a replacement when the original turfs were discontinued. And actually, now that I think on it, I believe the originals might have been made by Firestone.

As you've clearly discovered, you are hunting for a unicorn. You might try Mountainman (listed on the Vendor's page) who has a small-tractor salvage yard. Not made by Goodyear, but have a very similar tread pattern and size...

Ivory soap.

The MSDS for Canadian "Premium UDT" shows it is made by Shell Canada Products in Alberta. The material description indicates it is made of "highly refined mineral oils". Duratran is good stuff, probably at least as good or better. But it's not the same.

Could be. But in addition to the random teeth marks, some of the rounded corners are crushed. In any event, I don't think the wire wrap will interfere with a crow's foot wrench. And I think the 6-point style provides a more positive engagement compared to the open wrench style. But that's just...

Should be easy enough to retract the protector if required, however his third photo shows the spring does not extend over the crimp portion of the fitting. (That's where I see what I believe to be plier or vise-grip scars).

Looking at the pictures, he might benefit from a 6 point flare nut crow's foot wrench set and a long extension. Edit - Something like this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/SUNEX-TOOLS-Crowfoot-Wrench-Set-Sun9710M/300685581?MERCH=REC-_-pipsem-_-326961462-_-1-_-n/a-_-n/a-_-n/a-_-n/a-_-n/a

Looks like someone used pliers or vise-grips on that hose in the past.
