I still think the 1045 is faster than the

312-8!

               Two beautiful              

Those plastic hubcaps on the 312 have substantially more drag than the chrome ones on the 1045, that alone would account for 1/10 MPH difference!

Are you referring to the exposed belt on the HY pump?

That is the belt for the HY-3. Look for the 1045 Decal, that’s the belt guard your thinking of.

That is one sharp looking 1045 oldman!  and the HY icing on the  Your tire selection is off the hook! 

 

My favor model but I doubt I will ever resto it. I got her whipped into good mechanical tho. I think @prondzy is nuts for letting this one go but knowing him he's probally got another one stashed. 

Weathers nice out this weekend I need to get some glamor shots. Some steering gear work here.

I like ‘em in patina! I have several only the repaired sections are restored/repainted.

Honestly, lately tired of tractor body work!

 

 

Here’s a good example of patina, “I know, it’s a Sears!”

“18 A Mechanically sound”

       Miracle right!

Not only is the 1045 faster, it's classier!

HY-3’s were more common among the early Cub Cadets. There is a Spring inside which breaks and usually found that way. The remnants of the spring need removed to install the new one correctly! A friend had a “shop” rebuild his and they just through the spring in and gave it back in as state of disrepair! I rebuilt it for him with this kit below.

However a kit is still available.

The brackets to utilize one for wheel horse would be easy to make. Expect to pay a good bit for one HY -3 regardless of condition.

By the 80's between the EPA emissions standards and insurance companies they all where slower than the ones in the 60's.  OOPs I was thinking about cars, never mind .
