I have a 3118 Hydraulic pump off of a parts tractor and was wounding what is the difference between the two? Could it be adapted to the 4020 for more power to the snow caster, log splitter, tiller...?

Re: 4020/3118 AH Hy-pump
Terry,
The 3118 AH pump would not be a good choice as it is a tandem pump with two individual sections rather than just a higher volume pump. A considerable amount of plumbing would need to be done. A better choice, if you want a higher GPM pump would be one from a power steering model.
Bear in mind, that a larger displacement pump does not equate to more power to run attachments as you state, it just makes them run faster or just as fast at a lower engine rpm. To actually provide more power you would have to upgrade the entire system to allow it to operate at a higher pressure.
