    How does a hydro lever work

    Back to my problem. I cut the rod to remove the assembly from the tractor, and made a brass rod to replace it. The rod is bolted to the chassis so it can't turn. A Woodruff key locks the bushing (circled in white) to the rod. The flat on the bushing locks the bushing to the assembly. So I don't tee how the fwd / rev lever can possible move!

    704 3 speed to 8 Speed Swap

    I had a hunch that was the case. I have a few old bands and intended to check but I haven't done it. I know the rod is different. One goes over the drum and one straight to the band.

    953 switch

    Wondering for those who used the Massey Ferguson ignition switch’s for a replacement for the 2 prong on off switch’s, did you have to modify dash housing for the stem to be long enough ?

    There have been a few occurrences of an error -200 when posting some pictures. It happened to me as well, I took a screen shot of the picture I wanted to post and posted the screen shot successfully. You can give that a shot. If you are not seeing the -200, start a post in talk to the moderators or the site suggestions area and we can work it further

    Enjoy your trip and the early Spring weather. If wifey was on this forum she’d be asking if you brought compression socks for the flight and scolding you if you didn’t.

    857 & Commando 8

    I'm offering a deal for you redsquare folks. I have an 857 with a plow and a commando 8 with a deck priced to sell at $600 for the pair. They aren't perfect by any means but they start right up and drive. The commando 8 has a transmission that was expertly rebuilt by steveasaurus!

    Also, Toro is not a four letter word by any means. (not your words Bob) Their high end stuff and commercial machines are all over golf courses. Lots kick them down, but they shelled out the bucks for WH and put their name on them....figure if I spent that kind of $ I would too. I think back about the times I looked at new WH machines. My goodness, raising kids and living the dream left little money for cutting grass equipment. Hard to believe so many sold for the prices they ask. (worth every penny) I started out used and I am still running used. Go figure.

    Welcome. What she’s wearing now is the kind she came with so they might be “original." If you look at the many “tire” posts on this site, you’ll discover a wide variety of tire preferences. For example, I personally prefer the Firestone and Silvertown “All Purpose” 6-12’s on the rear and the now-Carlisle “Sawtooth” on the front--these were “factory” in the early 60’s. Bottom line: it’s your tractor so it oughta reflect your goals. I agree with @ri702bill that repairing a deck shell as damaged as that one will be a lot of work and may not even be successful. Transferring the usable parts likely will be easier (start now dosing fasteners with penetrant 😁). My 36” gear deck is built from the best parts from three decks. Also, assuming you decide to actually run it as a mower, you’ll be looking for blades with a little more life in them. Keep us posted--with pictures!

    704 3 speed to 8 Speed Swap

    I’m sure other members are more attuned to this than I am and will correct me if I'm wrong, but I’ve handled bands from both three and six speeds as well as Eaton hydros. The only significant difference I’ve noticed is that some were made of thicker metal than others. Remarkably, even though the position and rotation of the drum changed going from 3/6 to 8/hydro, the engineers were able to use the same drum and band geometry

    to the Nice find. She looks complete and unmolested. If those tires hold air, a tire paint could make them look good.

    We miss you Bob Ellison

    Only ever spoke with Bob once, but It was a delightful 40 minutes! The knowledge that he had and was willing to share made my day.
