    Tom H. Now I see why people were surprised that I could reach in there. Thanks.

    Took mower deck off the blue 123 and found my hy-tran leak. It is the tube going into the transmission case. Part number IH-394827-R21. I tried to tighten the 1" nut but was turning harder than I thought I should and quit. Is there just an o-ring that failed or am I forced to replace the...

    Harry I am just East of Kennewick. Yes, quite a ways from you. Of course I thought you were originally talking about Mill Creek which is next to Walla Walla so I was equally confused. I do have the air cleaner and just failed to reinstall. Thanks for reminder. Tires. When I went to drop...

    Harry, here is a pic from the back of my 123. As you can see, it is unobstructed to the top of the hydro where the bypass buttons are. Is there something missing from my CC?

    Here is a shot of the maiden voyage of my "Big Blue" 123. new battery, Carb kit, clean gas tank, change engine oil, new hydro filter, new hydro oil, un-stick hydro bypass buttons, new tubes in front tires. Ran awesome and mowed great. It was fun driving with the hydrostatic drive. Very...

    Harry, I have the 16.5x6.5-8. I found brand new 16x6.5-8 for $27 so I ordered them. The tubes for the stock tires were $22.

    Hydro Harry, you weren't kidding about tire prices! If mine need replaced rather than a tube are there other tires that will fit on the rim? Something more reasonably priced?

    Hydro Harry, I think my cc must have been somewhat altered because I can look over the top of the rear end and see the buttons. When I put my hand in there it is a tight squeeze and my finger is just a little too tight to fit under the flapper bar. Touching it with a 10" screwdriver was no...

    To those that have helped me out. YAHOO! I was real excited to see the ole tires turning with gusto. First I got a quality fuel system so I didn't have to stop and clean out the rust pieces lol. I ensured that the shaft was turning which was real easy (thanks Hharry). A peak in from the...

    Okay, I survived the in-laws and outlaws thanks to a cousin with a flask. After reading some great suggestions yesterday, the goal today is to ensure the shaft is turning and then to ensure the hydro is turning. First I am going to temporary rig up a gas tank. Getting tired of fighting rust...

    As much as I appreciate all of the input I do have to leave for right now. Once I get my noose off (otherwise known as a tie) I will get back at it and try to get some movement using some of the ideas. Removing the fender is an intriguing idea if it gives access.

    I was considering taking a long thin metal device similar to an old screwdriver and tapping on the side of the hex head. I would do this with gentle taps on the head of the screwdriver. My hopes were that with the wd-40 would loosen it up and with some vibrations the buttons might extend. I...

    I can just reach the buttons. I am assuming they are coming through the middle of the two hex heads seen in the pic? I will keep trying to put some pressure on them and get some movement. I am dressed up for a family event (wife made me) so can't do it right now. At least I can't get caught...

    I believe the pic is showing where a bypass button should be sticking up but is not. If the button is stuck in the down position what is the remedy? You can see my efforts at WD-40.

    Jeff P and Dan T. The part is Jeff's post is what I have. When I look from the rear of the tractor and move the lever the part shown rotates up and down but it is not connected to anything on the hydro. Unless I greatly misunderstand (a very distinct possibility)the part must connect to...

    DanT, I will get my mower deck off today and have a look to see if that is my problem. I appreciate the information. I am excited to make this little unit go.

    Don T. Thanks, I will give it a try. Shouldn't I hear the engine governor kick in when engaging hydro and then kicking out when in neutral? I also have a real dumb, newbie question. I'm not sure I have everything in the right position despite reading the user manual. First, I don't know...

    Hydro Harry, I missed your post the other day. Thanks for additional info about upgrading my Walbro. It's also good to know there are some "locals". Here is where I am at. Since given the 123 I had no idea what worked and what did not. My goal was to make it run as inexpensively as I can...

    Ron S, that is awesome information. Exactly what I was looking for. Much appreciated. My offer to send Kraig some Washington state grime is extended to you too!

    Kraig. My carb doesn't look like yours....you are missing a bunch of oil and dirt on yours. I can send some if you need it. Besides, mine does not have open ears where the bolts go in. Mine has enclosed holes. While I have no reason to doubt Wayne's advice on Walbros it is the carb I...
