    169 hydro valves stuck in

    Thanks so much for the detail. I thought the pin hole would push on the pin. But did not want to force it without knowing. I am soaking one valve head. in a industrial strength Zep anti rust chemical.

    Hydro pins stuck down.

    Let me ask you Digger. I attacked pictures of the valve, my company use a same looking valve as a Down Valve inside a hydraulic pump similar to a plow pump. Our pump made by Monarch Hydraulics Middle of valve is a white plastic ring and o ring our valve unscrew at this area and internal parts...

    169 brush painted

    Maybe I should stop posting here. I don't think people who just enjoy building something old and learning from others is what this forum is about. I can't afford to make this a show tractor,

    Unless the first experience is with worn out plates and it takes off and suddenly jerks slower. Wow I thought I got F ed on this 169. But I rebuilding the linkage and hope for a huge change. But I did get use to how to feather the control and love the tractor even not fixed yet.

    169 brush painted

    How horrible would it be to brush paint the yellow on the frame and maybe the rear fenders. I plan on working this 169 but would like to keep it value a little.

    Gear driven or Hydro Driven

    Tonight I started taking apart the fenders and linkage, still try to learn how the springs work. I understand the concept, but does the trunion arm have a little friction so after the small spring compress it then moves the arm / shaft going into the hydro unit? Fenders are going back to yellow...
