I also would like to know if the swept forward axle causes problems with a snowthrower or blower. Will the front tires clear. Chris

Wyatt, Where did you get your front wheels? They look like narrow wheels however they work on 1" spindles. Chris

Mike, Thanks for the post about anti-seize. I have been using it for years also. I have both aluminum and cooper based. The deck I'm working I recenlty pickup and I think it's been outside for a long time.

Hydro Harry, Thanks for the info on the 127 vs 129 hydros. I will put new springs and caps in. If I can get away without having to weld and grind the trunion back to shape I will be happy. I'm able to do it, but it will just speed things up. Eventually I would like to put a ported pump and...

I will try heat and soaking it a bit more before I take it to work. I've never heard of the wax method before. I'll also give that a try. We used a 2 ft snap-on breaker bar with a 2 ft pipe to tighten the nut holding the blade on. I work for a moving company and am good friends with the...

Thanks for the replies. I do not have an impach wrench. My next step is to take it to the truck shop where I work and see if I can borrow theirs. I tried tightening the blade up a much as I could and blocking the blade with a 4x4 with no luck. The blade just spins. The two outside spindles...

Does anyone have any tips on breaking lose the locking jam nut on the center spindle of a 44" deck off of a 129? It's on there tight and I have no way of holding the pulley or spindle from turning.

I picked up a 129 with a 44” deck that I am going to fix up. However I am having some trouble removing the center pulley. The spindles are in need of new bearings or replacement. I have been able to loosen the outer spindle jam nuts and blade nuts by using a large wrench on the hex portion of...

Chris B, I am interested in your 125. Email sent. Chris Cannon [email protected]

I am putting together a free 44a mower deck from parts a friend is giving me. He has both the original ST-745 style spindles and the new 759-3479 aluminum replacement spindle. All are used but in good shape. Which one is a better? I know I can get replacement bearings for the ST-745 setup...

I am in need of new tires and I would like opinions on which turf tires work best. I have a hilly yard that I mow, and usually once a year I have to clear the driveway of snow. Chris

I have come across a nice running 1450 K321 engine that I would like to use to replace my worn out 127 K301 engine. Other than notching/bracing the frame, what else do I need to do to do this? Can I setup the 1450 K321 to use a SG? Thanks Chris

Kraig, I was able to get the release button to come out of the handle. It was stuck on the float button. I wasn't sure how it came apart so I didn't want to force anything. I've fixed that and I have replace the input gear on the trans. The roll pin hole was worn so bad that the shaft...

My lift arm is stuck in the float position. I have removed it from the tractor, unscrewed the release button and the rod comes out the bottom, however, I still can not get the float button to release. Does the top release button come out after unscrewing the road? cscannon
