Darn Archive bug,,,

Anyway Getting somewhere now,,,,

Only issue, well maybe not Really an "Issue", But THIS:

Maybe when they "FIXED" that leaky relief valve they figured they would go ahead and "FIX" whatever trouble they were having with the trunion cam assembly,

 

[jwiggins]

Geez-O-Pete,

4:30a EST I feel like I'm moving slower than anticipated, ugh!!!!

Oh well, Anyway Brk Time.......

 

[jwiggins]

149 pump and tube on 1250 rear w/ New cork, DRY none of that rtv on this one.

Clean that whole thing real good w/ fresh coat of paint before going in, Right?

That would put me round prolly Noon for putting it back together, man I can just feel the grass GRoWiNg!!!!!! Ugh!!!

 

[jwiggins]

6:00a NO PAINT, Goin in,,,

It's a worker!!!

 

[jwiggins]

Jason, nice progress! And suddenly I'm hungry...

Jason W. IF the 1250 rear end did indeed have gear lube instead of hydraulic/transmission oil in it the you can pretty well figure the 15 U is done for and needs a total rebuild which isn't worth the time or $$$. A retired engineer bought a 317 John Deere years ago that he got a great deal on. He started using it and after the hydro warmed up it bogged down to hardly moving. Even though he changed the oil to the correct oil it never did work right. So, I'd find another pump and go that route. The thicker oil jut does a number on everything inside from springs to pistons, etc.

I know of two good used pumps but just never seem to have the time to get them. Or the energy anymore.

Yeah, it was Definitely Gear Oil, I did however bolt my original known working good condition 149 Pump onto the 1250 Rear w/ new Cork. I can only assume that may very well be why the 1250 was listed as a Parts Tractor!

Took long break for BrKfst. Just got back at it. Got brake linkage w/ spring done, Trunion cam assembly done, rear Lift done, hydro lines and drive shaft back together, now another lil break before I start on fender pan!

Whew!!!

Thanks Again everyone,

 

[jwiggins]

Well just couldn't help myself, like a kid in a candy store. I "HAD" to spray a little something on it before that pan went on!

LoL

Well I'm Way WAY Behind schedule now!

Guess I might clean shop, give that paint time to tack before I bolt pan to it.

For some reason I had it in my head that I might have been able to finish by day break!

Hmmmm.

Seems everything I do here lately take's much longer than I think it will,,,

I think it's maybe old age just setting in REAL GOOD on me!!

Ugh!!!

 

[mgwin]

Jason,

Looking good!!

Don't feel bad, I thought I could put vinyl siding on my building in about a day and a half. Turned out it took a week! I hate trim work!

 

[jwiggins]

Marty G.

LoL,

I FeeL ya, I tell momma this or that will take a day or so and she know know's that means a Week or 3!!!
Good thing I'm not putting bid's in on any multi-million dollar jod site's!!!!

Picked up tools & swept giving paint time to atleast tack up! Figured good time to See if pan is at all Salvageable.


Well here goes nothin.

I Think that might actually work, Not Perfect but Not to awful bad either....

Now if I can get what's left back together, Drive & Deck on I still Might be able to Cut today!

 

[hydroharry]

Jason - you're moving along at lightnin' speed. You had mentioned thinking about using heat on the pan but I don't see any signs of it. What did you use?

 

[dschwandt]

Jason...
What's taking you so long!!

 

[dwales]

Hofstadter's Law: It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law.

 

[wcompton]

Best to cover both ends of the product lineage. You betcha Rusty these are the fair dinkum International Harvester right here!

Very Nice Looking Reds, and Big Daddy Red on your profile,

If this 149 gives me much more Trouble "ALL Strictly My Fault" of course, Might go Red Next Time,,, They are Really starting to grow on me.


To ALL:

All new Ultraction, relief button's are UP, trunion cam linkage is I THINK just like it came OFF when working properly, ummmmm

Any suggestions welcome, I've prolly just over looked something! Need to walk away and take fresh look 2moro prolly!!!!


Got it back together, well just a few bolts in fender pan and tunnel cover off till I getter goin.

Thanks Everyone,,,

 

[kmcconaughey]

Jason, all I can think of would be air in the pump/system.

 

[eford]

Jason, filled hytran to proper level? Look at linkage under dash too. Take a break, you definitely deserve one!!
Nice job! You bought parts 1250 for that, parts. Now with finding gear lube...

I have taken a hydro out once and put right back in same tractor, slight adjustment of linkage necessary, but only slightly. It worked better than before removal.

I have an obvious question to some, half inch by 79 inch belt for PTO to mower on 1450 with 44a deck right?
