$650 quickjack
I'm at a local discount store right now looking at a quickjack 5000 for $650 - but only box one and two, not the hydraulic motor. Anybody who has one of these, how easy would it be to rig up a cheap Chinese hydraulic motor with this thing? It seems like a great deal with a bit of diy but I don't know how easy it would be to fettle.

Thank you Erat, very very helpful. It appears that the new units are single capacity with an apportioning valve rather than two capacity, and they take about 2.3 liters of fluid, which strikes me as very little, but the lines are pretty short and the cylinders small. I can get a 4 liter single capacity rated at 1.6kW and 3200psi off of eBay for about $184, which strikes me as more than fair, and way more than this system needs. I'll have to figure out the apportioning valve to get both sides the same pressure equally, that's probably a common part, but I'm not really familiar with hydraulics.

1/4" NPT... I'd imagine the bigger units are the same.
Also, i'd get some quality quick connect fittings. They will be flat face / no spill. You can probably get them at a parker store (or whatever hydraulic store is by you) or mcmaster. Low quality ones will leak.
