    Sounds good. I do have the Blue ribbon service manual, it shows how to detach the rear. Looks like its time to get some Hy-Tran and a filter and gasket in the meantime.

    Think so. The tow lever has never done anything for the past 20 plus years.

    Ok, looks like I will order some Hy-Tran and a filter and rear gasket, before moving on. How do I get to the relief valves, do I have to split the rear from front?

    123 Hydro problems

    The Top gear in the 1st pic moves when I roll the tractor back and forth. There was not a lot of Hytran and its most likely 40 plus years old, I am told by my brother that is about when he and my late father changed it. The filter looks to be original also. Hopefully these pics help. Can I start...

    123 Hydro problems

    123 suddenly does not want to go forward or reverse. Put new chains on and moved it forward and back, hour later nothing. Linkage appears to be working. Don't hear the Hydro whine. Engine is turning the shaft. I've got it open. Drained 40 year old hydro oil out and filter looks original. I've...

    Probably just gonna get another carb. She's running but rough and I cannot get the carb to adjust properly. I'm sure with the air cleaner not sealing tight around the stripped thread its not helping. I did find the serial number finally, it begins in 15 which according to the chart narrows it...

    One of the bolts for the air cleaner is stripped. Who makes the best aftermarket carb?

    It's cranking fine now, with the new plug. I shut the gas off after running. We'll see if it's still dripping.

    Took out the plug was all corroded, Autolite plug. Smelled of gas also. Got a brand-new Champion H10C and gapped it to .025 and put it in fired right up. Got it running, just need to adjust carb it's hunting and shuts off before the throttle hits lowest point.

    Replaced last November.

    Yes, the bracket is the culprit! The switch tests ok with a meter. I got it to fire up, ran and then quit. Gas is dripping from the carburetor, been an issue before this. Stuck float maybe? I also set the points to .020 as well. Attached are videos of where I'm at now.

    I'm guessing this is the clip I need after verifying the safety switch is ok: Cub Cadet IH-394037-R1 MTD Safety Switch Release Clip 105 107 123 125 127 | eBay

    Thanks for all the help. Definitely got some things to do later today/tonight!

    123 Help

    Ok, thanks for the advice so far. Best way to bypass safety switch? I pushed the button in on switch with the brake pedal down, no change. Thinking the switch may be toast also. I see Orange/Black on the Solenoid and solid orange out of the harness to keyswitch.

    Inherited my late fathers 123, which he became second owner of in 1974. She had a been sitting a few years after we bought a snowblower. Got it running last November, had a head gasket blow upon start up, battled a bad ignition switch both have been replaced. Had it running so so, could never...
