The hydraulic cylinder is made here, with the quaint name of Agriculture cylinder
The pump is a Rexroth (Germany)
The coupling and the bell housing are KTR (Germany)
Although there are subsidiaries here.
The control valve could be from anywhere, although the casting is from India and the internals and assembly ????

DaveH, the control valve looks quite complex, does it have "auto kick-of" for the return stroke?
The "bell housing" appears to be what we (over here) might call a C-face mounting, is there room for the coupling, motor shaft and pump shaft?
The bell housing appears to have threaded mounting holes for the pump but the pump doesn't appear to have "ears" for the bolts?

Need to find a 2.2KW motor Brmm...Brmm

"auto kick off" no idea - I'll find out It's heavy
Bell housing I think it is called a "C 165" here. The 165 refers to the PCD in mm, which as near as damn it is 6.5 inches. The coupling fits inside.

The control valve looks identical to this one http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/p..._200407827

That's correct Steve, 2 bolts M8 go through the pump body into the bell housing.
Here's a pic from the back of the pump.

Here's a better description than I offered.

" Prince Log Splitter Detent Valve for open center systems.
Relief valve adjustable to 2750 PSI, preset at 2250 PSI, flow rating up to 25 gal./min. Our most popular
log splitter valve.
Spring centered in one direction, pressure released detent in the other direction.
Automatically kicks back to neutral when cylinder \
completes stroke. "

I found the above here "auto kick off valve"

Hope you don't have trouble finding a motor for that bell housing. I understand now how the pump attaches to it.
