PMaine 31 #28 Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Here's a picture of the JB weld job. Obviously someone who didn't know what they were doing dug into this eaton for a reason, I will put the reservior in but I still have my doubts that this is a good unit. On my 252-H this JB welded area is where the reservior screws into, on this tractor there isn't clearance for it here, and I assume there should have just been a plug in this threaded area. While I wait for the reservoir I figured I would start cleaning things up. I used POR15 as a primer. I will do the seat pan next. I got the snowblower at a hardware store on the way home, had to drag it by myself through a field but it was worth it. $200. Total investment thus far is $650.

PMaine 31 #29 Posted February 23, 2014 Okay guys I took a trip to see Dennis yesterday for a rolling chassis. The new eaton 1100 is night and day, but I have a few questions. The power lift will not work when first started. It takes about a minute to get a response from the lift cylinder. My other problem is the reverse is very slow but I think I just need to adjust the linkage! It was a fair amount of work to do the swap and add the hydraulic lift system but it really makes the tractor! Thank you again Dennis! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smoreau 658 #30 Posted February 24, 2014 It is normal for them to not work right away when its cold out. I have to let mine run for a few min. before I use mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PMaine 31 #31 Posted February 24, 2014 Interesting thanks! I adjusted the shift lever and all is well, looks like now I can start enjoying the tractor! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dbartlett1958 96 #33 Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) I use full synthetic in my Hydro. Makes the lift start working quite a bit sooner. Now get yourself one of Matt's foot pedals once you get the bugs sorted out. Edited February 24, 2014 by dbartlett1958 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,029 #34 Posted February 24, 2014 I run Mobil 1 in my hydros it helps alot on the cold sluggish lift. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
