closed center hydraulics
(OP)
i have a massey ferguson tractor that has closed center hydraulics that i am converting to an open center system, i have an open center pump mounted and working but i know that it will not last long pushing the fluid through so many relief valves. would like to know if a power steering pump from a chevy pickup or car works on a closed center system. if it would work i'd plumb one into the steering and brakes and everything else i have to finish conversion. any help would greatly be appreciated.

Maybe it's time to put down the wrenches and the credit card, and complete the system design before you buy any more hardware.

The closed center system pump alternative is a variable displacement pump that is made to stop pumping when the system demand is blocked.

You should calcuate the volume required for implement cylinders and be sure the reservoir is large enough.
I dont think it is a good idea to combine implement functions with steering and brakes.
