Knuckleboom crane upgraded to an electric motor for the hydraulic system

[KustomsbyKent]

Hey Guys,
Since the engine on the truck for my knuckleboom burns a lot of oil when it runs, and makes the shop all smokey, I decided to upgrade to an electric motor for the drive to the hydraulic pump, which allows for quiet, clean and quick power for using the crane. Most of the time that I need to use the crane is in the shop, so this works nicely.
A new 3 hp electric motor for an air compressor, some pulleys, a jack shaft, and some misc steel for brackets, and I had it converted. Here's a video showing the conversion:

I'm quite happy with the conversion, and I can easily switch back to the PTO shaft if needed to. Only need to loosen a bracket, remove the 12" pulley, and the shaft can be put back on.

Thanks
Kent
