I put a fisher speedcast 6.5 foot plow on my 1998 Cherokee Sport 4.0.
I already have a V Belt driven hydraulic pump for the plow and I would like to use it to avoid buying and using and electric pump.
Has anyone here ever seen someone with a belt driven pump of anykind, on a Cherokee with a 4.0? I would be willing to remove my AC if I had to.
Any help would be great. Cheers!

I know there are guys that remove their A/C compressors and then swap in a gererator for electricity for welders and the like, or they convert the old style A/C compressors into air compressors for the use of air tools and airing up tires. Who not a hydraulic pump? You would just need to room for it. I attached a link of a company that builds under hood hydro pump kits. Nothing listed for a Jeep but they might know someone who has done this on a Jeep before.

The prob with that is the belt on the pump is for a V Belt and well, the belt on the Jeep is not a V Belt as you know. Guess I could fab a new pully onto the pump.

Yes, there would definatly need to be some adaptation. Like I say though, maybe the people at the company I sent the link to might know of someone who has done this on a 4.0 Jeep. Might be worth it to call them and see what they know.
