Some years back
an A&P removed hydraulic pump from the engine, leaving hoses connected.

Then used hand held battery drill to spin it.
Worked like a charm

It's a good system, still being used today by a few of us out there. No risk of contamination or air in the system when using a mule. Here's a quick video of the operation, most you have probably seen it but it's worth posting again.

All who asked, here is a schematic and parts list for the hydraulic unit/cart I built for my C337A. You can PM me if you have any questions.

when using a drill to power an aircraft hydraulic pump, what type of adapter is used to connect the two?

It's a female attachment that matches the hydraulic pump. Available from Griswold Aviation in Marshall Michigan
