    Help with hydrostatic trans

    Just finished testing the hydraulic ram that's responsible for lifting the carriage and implements. I completely disconnected it on both ends so that it's not doing any real work and started up the electric motor. When operating in the OUT mode, the ram moves extraordinarily slow... but when...

    Help with hydrostatic trans

    Well, I got lucky - I hooked up a 2hp electric motor I have with a custom adapter sleeve that I made and fired it up. It works! Was able to run it FWD and BACK in High Gears and Low Gears. I was unable to operate the ram that lifts up the 3 point hitch... I have to get to the bottom of that...

    Help with hydrostatic trans

    I was in the process of mating an electric engine to the pump but I heard the metalic sounds in the trans... a little worried about turning it on full speed.

    Help with hydrostatic trans

    While rolling the tractor around to a better location I started hearing some unhealthy clanging noises from inside the trans... like that missing piece of dipstick rolling around on the gears. Hard to describe it but it's intermittent and sounds metalic. I guess I'm faced with the reality of...

    Briggs and Stratton thrown rod, cracked block. Can it be repaired?

    I was recently in the same situation and saw many good B&S 18hp blocks on eBay for about $80-120

    Help with hydrostatic trans

    I'm seeing first signs of life from this trans. This morning I topped off the fluid level to the max, and cracked open the filter to make sure there is fluid making its way though it, also I moved the machine back and forth on the ground in different gears (hi and low) trying to get the fluid...

    The PTO side drives the hydro. I've read that all B&S engines spin counter-clockwise when looking at the PTO side. --- Briggs and Stratton Model: 350447 Type: 0119-01 Code: 93072211

    Where do I buy 20W Straight viscosity oil!?

    I found this in a local JAX Farm and Fleet store, it had J20C on the label so I grabbed it and put that in the unit.

    Help with hydrostatic trans

    Got a 1994 Yard-Man Model 998 with Peerless hydrostatic transmission - it's a project: the engine had a catastrophic failure, I removed it completely. I plan on repowering, but first I wanted to make sure the transmission is in working order. I drained the old fluid and replaced it with...

    What engine would you replace it with

    Well, me too... it sold before I could make an offer, so that option is out the window anyway.

    What engine would you replace it with

    Can you give me a bit more information for your reasoning for the Vanguard (I have a lead on one). The people I bought it from did tell me they paid $5K in 1994.

    What engine would you replace it with

    The twin that was there broke the connecting rod and it scored the crank shaft, busted the engine back cover, sheared off a chunk of cylinder wall and shattered the cam shaft. It was beyond repair.

    What engine would you replace it with

    The back wheels on this thing stand about 28in tall. The mower deck is very heavy and is PTO driven, I cannot lift it by myself and the blade attachment is very heavy also, just on the edge of my strength to carry. There is no plastic on this thing which is nice. Yard-Man 144-998-401 is what...

    What engine would you replace it with

    Well, I should have posted it in my first post on top, but didn't have photos; Got some now, but unfortunately the machine is now in pieces being refurbished, but here they are:
