im curious if a hydro tranny from a tractor would work properly if mounted on its side...

see where im going with this dont you.

if it can function on its side i may try to stick one under the hood of my  lil crapsman

I don't know much about them though I have one in my lawn tractor.  The manual does warn about air getting trapped in the system during shipping and gives a procedure for purging it.  I doubt it would work well on its side though maybe it could be modified.     -Bob

I have a little hydraulic jack that doesn't work on it's side so I'd guess that unless it was designed to, it wouldn't.

Maybe when I get home tonight, I'll push my tractor onto it's side and see what happens!
