Hydraulic pumps and oil filter

Fellow Jeep fans, I'm looking for opinions, advice and experiences regarding the best set up for incorporating both Meyer Snow Plow and Monroe Lift set ups on a '53 3A.  Both have all original parts.   One has the crankshaft driven pump and the other the Monarch fan belt driven pump. My questions are; Can one or the other pump be used for both applications, or do I have to use both?  If I can get away with just one, which is best?   If the Monarch pump is preferred, where would I move the Fram oil filter to?   The space ahead of the carb is taken by a governor.  I thought maybe the left fender behind the horn, but am concerned its efficiency might be compromised by it having to lay on an angle.  First world problems, I know, but what is the optimal approach?    Thanx!  Quentin

When I first got my 3A it had an oil filter mounted on the inside of the right fender just beneath the clamp for the heater hoses. This was done to make room for a Monarch pump.

I'm not sure exactly how it was plumbed as the motor had been swapped and the oil filter was not reconnected to the replacement motor. All of this was done before I owned it. I'm not even sure the oil filter ever successfully functioned in this location but it might be something to think about.

Hey thanks Ryan.   What about the pumps?  Do you know how their outputs compare? If I have to run a line to the front cylinder, I could the use the lift not roller for a front plow, wouldn't you think?

MHO, I would go with the crankshaft driven pump, here is why. The belt driven pump is self contained and would not have enough oil capacity to operate the Monroe lift cylinder, this could be overcome but not worth the time if you have a c/s driven pump, also the b/d pump has not as much flow as the c/s pump so your lift would be very slow.
