converting manual pump hydraulic ram to air operated?
I have an air-hydraulic pump from a bender and a ram that looks to be about the size needed on my engine hoist to put together to adapt for my other bender(JD2 model 3) I think it should be possible to adapt the manual pumping cylinder to work with the air-hydraulic pump and then I can use the cylinder for both the hist and the JD2 model 3.
I figure just remove the pump handle, and fitting and put a qui9ck connect hydraulic fitting there and it should work. the oil reservoir for the manual cylinder is inside of it so I am wondering how that comes into play.
Anyone have experience?

definitely seems possible. by removing the piston and replacing with quick connect as I thought. Ill give it a try. Ill even make up a line that attaches back to the original piston and re-mount it somewhere in case I want to use it manually again.
