HWH Pump Removal

[Gregory OConnor]

Bob, those high press bypass valves fail open often. then you have
bypass all the time and reduced function. I remove them on hydrostat
tractors and use a pressure switch to an alarm. You could use a high
press relay shut down also. The HWH on my 94 has a simple two button
set and stow. I wonder if you could upgrade the electronics as the
appliances are the same. electric/hydrolic pump , hydrolic lines and
single acting cylinders??? Curt said HWH is a helpfull crowd. The
newer electronics (new 12 years ago)may have a high pressure fault
shutdown.
