Like chocolate and vanilla? Or... crabs & crawdads??
-
to the Ron. How did water get in an Eaton hydro?
-
Is there a test switch that allows you to test the indicating lights? if so take a look at the test switch, it could be the problem. Also check for corrosion or loose connections.
-
Deck and mule drive stays in place with mine.
-
Could you drill it out and press in a bronze bushing and then put in a new seal?
-
Not much I can add to what Joe and Don have said. Since oil floats on water it may be advisable to allow time for the two to separate prior to the next draining. This service manual for the Eaton1100 may be helpful.

Thanks for the info!!! The oil just looks cloudy. I will jack up the front end ..

Go For a Ride Day, celebrated on November 22, urges you to just get up and get out! Do you ever feel like you’re tied to your laptop/phone/tablet screens? We’ve become a pretty sedentary bunch — a far cry from the people who discovered countries, oceans, and animals simply by getting off the couch and exploring. Make today a day to set your spirit free and enjoy your wanderlust on whatever mode of transportation suits you best. Bike, boat, car, skateboard, sleigh, Wheel Horse — it doesn’t matter what you choose! Pick a location you’ve always wanted to visit and make today the day you’ll go.

You guys do realize that this thread is from 13 years ago right?!! -
What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Sparky-(Admin) replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Super tempting. Would just be a long slow ride from up there to down here -
them 60's short frame tractors have a dump you and leave you rep also. I consider it a rite of passage. Wet shoes and bad seat latch make for some funny launches sometimes .

Welcome Ron. It is real hard to get all of the old oil out of the Eaton 11 system. Is the oil just cloudy or is the pronounced water that comes out of the drain plug? Motor oils can take up to 1% water and retain their lubrication ability. I would not panic. Like HD says, the bulk of the oil is in the sump and filter and you have drained those. Some residual is in the charge circuit. One question is how long have you left the sump drain? If you raise the front of the machine up and leave it over night that will help the drain. If the oil is just cloudy it would be best to run it a few hour and preform a drain and refill.

Thank you, I will definitely take a look at that latch and report back.

Water in 418-a Eaton Model 11
c-series don replied to Old Ron's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Jack up the front of the tractor so the front wheels are a foot or two off the ground while draining the oil out. There’s an internal hump in the transmission. Jacking it up will help get the oil over that hump. Also cycle the hydraulic cylinder a few times to help purge the hydraulic valve, lines, and cylinder of water. Do you have any pictures of your tractor? Those 400 series are some of my favorite WH’s ! I have a 416-H, 417-A, 418-C, 418-8, and a 420-LSE. -
Any pictures of it off the tractor? Thanks.
-
I have a Eaton Model 11 with water in the transmission. I have been filling with oil and installing a new filter, then running for a few minuets and draining. I have done this 3 times and oil still comes out cloudy. Anyone have any other suggestions?
-
My "adorable" front hitch was designed to be simple to attach - leaving the cutting deck in place and just switch the mule drive out and cut grass. That was important to me...
-
Mine is not as refined, but attaches in the belly first and the front swings up and locks. Definitely better attaching in both places if for some reason the trailer is lighter at the nose.

A perfect page 1000 if ever there was such a thing! -
Mike do you have any 953 carcasses around? Same pump
-
Steve - it looks complicated, but it is nice that it ties into both the front and mid mounting points. Is it user friendly or a PITA to attach?? Can you mount one end then swing the other up or do you have to do both at the same time??
-
That sounds scary!! My old Jeep Wagonaire was the same way. No fuse block, just a collection of inline fuses located all over the place behind the dash!! That 9 pin connector is a common source of problems as the tractor ages. Most likely, the charging wire was removed from it - that is the one that overheats as the resistance goes up thru corrosion... I see you are a newbie - Welcome! I also see you are from northern RI; I am in central RI.
