C-Series Hybrid Idea

[Easton Rich 802]

I can see that. I was worried about that, I figured the linkage would be a nightmare

[Easton Rich 802]

Neither run, but I've worked on both and they are strong runners (When they ran last). So give me your opinions!

Im a C160 With the k341 Kohler fan so my vote goes to it.

Definitely the C160 if you're planning on a hydraulic setup at the rear. 

 

My Bronco is basically the same, and I just added a D series spool valve to control the rear separately. 

 

Plus the Sundstrand has 4 bolts on to to work with attaching fabrications to. Not sure if that black hood has an Eaton or not, but those only have two bolts to work with. 

 

I just fabbed a 1/4 inch plate steel toolbox and added pivots for the upper lift arms and a seperate cylinder. No way that same design would work with (1) a fuel tank under the fender and (2) no room with an Eaton.

Plus the Sunstrands have internal pressure relief for the hydraulic pump so chaining tandem center control valves is straightforward

Excellent point!

Is there any difference in strength between the two? How do I strength test one?

Both make around 700psi on the hydraulic pump. So far as torque at the wheels, I don't have numbers. But on a decent model of either one, you'll break something internally before stopping one. I have a couple Eatons and Sundstrands, and either will spin wheels under load. 

[Handy Don 15,644]

I would go to the specs.

Both use equivalent WH final drive gears. Both run the hydraulics at 700psi and similar volumes (a bit over 1 gal per minute at full pressure). 

The Eaton 1100 can transfer on the order of 17hp for motion

I don’t know about the Sunstrands and it may depend on the model

The only numbers I remember was the Eaton 1100 has 3 times the output torque over the 700 model. 

 

Can't speak for the difference between Sundstrands.
