    Replace PTO pulley with aux hydro-pump

    Installing an aux hydraulic pump on a 1450 or similar. Or are there kits made for this?

    Replace PTO pulley with aux hydro-pump

    I was thinking that I could give myself sort of a universal PTO. Specifically I was looking to possibly run a log splitter. But I figured I could drive other equipment just by utilizing a hydraulic motor. I have the impeller and housing from an old leaf vac that I was thinking could be powered...

    Replace PTO pulley with aux hydro-pump

    Would you happen to know of any guides on installation?

    Replace PTO pulley with aux hydro-pump

    Thanks for posting the image! That helps me a lot in visualizing how other have done aux pumps. Did that require any cutting or 'modifying' beyond adding mounting hardware?

    Replace PTO pulley with aux hydro-pump

    This might sound ridiculous, but would it be at all in the realm of possibilities to directly mate an auxiliary hydraulic pump to the magnetic PTO on a 1450? More specifically, remove the belt pulley and replace it with a hydro-pump (1:1)?

    Won’t start after painting

    I once was working on a farmall super h that refused to charge. I traced every wire and connection for hours. Around 2AM I finally discovered someone had painted underneath the voltage regulator brackets. As previously stated by everyone, these old machines are really sensitive to ground issues...

    Cub Cadet QL Manual OCR processed

    Hi Everyone, I noticed that none of the Cub Cadet manuals available for download seem to have text encoding (the ability to highlight/copy/paste and search the pdf). I went ahead and ran the quiet-line manual (800, 1000, 1200, 1250,1450, 1650) through my OCR processor so I could easily search...

    Do I have a leaky head gasket?

    I'll definetely be sure to re-tighten before I fire it up tomorrow! Thanks for the pointer.

    Do I have a leaky head gasket?

    Regarding timing: When I go to start it up, the starter often engages and starts turning but then hestiates like it's fighting compression. If I let of the key and try again it'll usually spins right over no problem. My gut feeling is that it's timing. Any thoughts? The key did just burnout...

    Do I have a leaky head gasket?

    I think you were on the money with idle. When I brought the idle speed up a bit the tractor seemed a lot happier (no more stumble). I still need to tinker with it a bit but I think that's the main issue. I've noticed as well that the stumbling doesn't happen when the engine is under a load.

    Do I have a leaky head gasket?

    Do kohler carbs have transition jets? The best way I can describe the symptom is that it behaves like a car/truck carb that has a bad accelerator pump. When I throttle up from idle it stumbles. Sitting at mid throttle I can see the governor arm "hunting." Throttling up from mid-throttle no more...

    Do I have a leaky head gasket?

    I flattened the head with the tile and sandpaper trick suggested by you gentlemen, got the new gasket and head torqued down to spec today and fired her up. It appears to have fixed the head leak. Thank you to everyone who helped me by providing your input. I'm grateful for the new knowledge! The...

    Do I have a leaky head gasket?

    Thank you for the site! I definitely will need to acquire a set at some point. I'd like to go through the whole tractor shy of a rebuild once I get the space.

    Do I have a leaky head gasket?

    I'll snap one this afternoon. Unfortunately I did already start cleaning up the cylinder, but the valves should give a good idea of how carbonized it is.

    Do I have a leaky head gasket?

    Good to know! That would have been a lot more convenient haha.

    Do I have a leaky head gasket?

    I noticed quite a bit of carbon build-up on the piston and valves. Will a leak cause incomplete combustion and result in that build up?

    Do I have a leaky head gasket?

    I finally got the head off. USPS lost the new gasket and I didn't want the tractor apart for too long since it's not in an ideal location for working on it. I'm guessing at this point it is warped as per what a lot of you guys suggested. The gasket looks almost new. You can definetely see where...

    Do I have a leaky head gasket?

    Is re-tapping the bolt threads critical? Only reason I ask is that I don't have the tools yet. My wife and I are in our 20s and still both paying tuition right now haha. I view this tractor as an investment that I want to last me, but I if can get away with just socket set/wrench stuff for now...
