Crazyredhorse 295 #5 Posted July 14, 2021 so I've done a little work on it.for the most part it's in good shape.havent fired it yet but older gentleman I bought it from says it runs.needs some work on deck wheels n mounts.the only thing I'm seeing is its leeking around the axle hydro area seems on top more than bottom.but being I havent run it yet seems more than I want. going to give it a power washing so I can tell were its comming from.but other than all the surface rust looking good.

Crazyredhorse 295 #7 Posted July 17, 2021 never mind tighten the screws on pump n cut some rubber gas line to put in fittings of metal line and it seems to have quit leeking.but runs good n hydro seems ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do not use silicone RTV little chunks of that can come off inside and cause big issues. Really do not need anything I sometimes use a light spray of Permatex High Tack aerosol.

Crazyredhorse 295 #14 Posted August 1, 2021 Thanks shes leeking pretty good. hoping no cracks or anything.started tearing it down enough to power wash it real good. take off rear end then so I can look it over good.can only work on it about 4 hrs at a time till back starts hurting. but I'll get there.put the tins in basement were I can strip in a cool place.

Crazyredhorse 295 #15 Posted August 3, 2021 I have the tractor all power washed and I'm ready to pull rear end off.im looking at the shift linkage it says to pull out ball from it to nylon cam as it comes out? not quite clear of this. can it come apart not much room before removing axle? dont want to break nylon cam sure I wont be able to find another if it breaks.whats best way to remove?

pfrederi 17,739 #16 Posted August 3, 2021 Make yourself two aligning pins. (3/8 NC bolt head cut off grind a bit of a taper to it and cut a cross slot) Remove two bolts holding tranny to frame end. Put in the aligning pins then remove the other 2 bolts and roll the transaxle/pump unit back. The linkage ball will come out of the plastic slider as you roll it back. (Lowell has the slider) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe you planned to split it anyway. Never did get the pin out, had to slice it. Edited August 9, 2021 by Gregor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazyredhorse 295 #21 Posted August 9, 2021 yes gasket was cooking oil bubbling out..but axle leeking that's why it had to come out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
