Looks real good. Just a few observations though. There might be some pump starvation issues from cold oil and the small diamiter suction lines from the tank to the pump. Normally they are much larger. While this is no real big deal I would definayely advise you to loose the galvanised pipe fittings on the remote lines. They are designed for around 200PSI on water pipes, not 2000 PSI under load. This is tragety waiting to happen.
I will say you did an excelent job fabing up the tank and remote setup. I'm sure you'll get a lot of use out of this old girl. I'll be glad when I get my loader on the 15.
