btm1970 97 #1 Posted November 10, 2014 I bought this with the intention of using it. It ran great, but it did not move. I figured the hydro was shot, It did not leak any fluid like when I had to replace the hydro pump in other d series I own. I figured, since Ihave to pull the motor, I should give it a paint job and clean up. The pump was fine, it was only the coupler. Here is how it turned out. 19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 17,112 #23 Posted November 16, 2014 Very Nice! Looks like that heavy D cracked your driveway in that first pic but making it heavier will help with ground breaking force. Filled tires, wheel weights 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
