    Hydro 129 Repower

    No idea except that the gentleman who did the rebuild had been doing rebuilds for over 40yrs and honestly it lived a pretty hard life. We used it to cut over 8acres of grass in the summer and snow blow the driveway in the winter not to mention pulling trailers around all the time. The fact that...

    Parts Wanted Wanted K301 or K321

    I am looking for a running K301 or K321 that I can use in my hydrostatic 129. Please let me know if you have one for a respectable price. I am in Iowa.

    Hydro 129 Repower

    I have been looking and all the ones I have been able to find are over a grand and I’m not going to spend that much for an engine that I know nothing about hence why I asked if there is anything else that anyone has swapped in relatively easily. And you are correct the K321 is the 14hp. I have...

    Hydro 129 Repower

    I know it has been rebuilt once because it happened in my lifetime. My parents had it rebuilt when I was a kid. Engine was bored out from the K321 to the next size up. It ran well for probably another 10 or so years before it blew the head again and in doing so it warped the head deck, cracked...

    Hydro 129 Repower

    Hey guys I have a cub cadet hydro 129 with the Kohler 12hp engine. Long story short the engine has been rebuilt at least once that I know of and I need to get the cub running again. I was wondering if anyone has ever put a different engine in one of these. It’s basically impossible to find...

    I have a Hydrostatic 129 that has a really bad habit of slipping into gear and taking off on its own. What can I do to fix this issue?

    Thanks Bruce. The weights do seem to move freely. One moves a little more drastically than the other but they do both move. I do not have the head apart, should I put the oil pan back on and rebolt the motor back in? Also I would assume a new pan gasket is in order since I opened it up right...

    I already know that the compression shoots up to 40lbs of psi. I did a compression test before I took the engine out and opened up the oil pan. By the way the spring looks like the one in the picture that you posted up. Is that one in the picture that you posted up correct?? If so is my next...

    Thanks Bruce. I pulled the tractor apart tonite and opened up the oil pan and the spring isnt broke. I am a little confused. Heres a little background on what is happening. I just replaced the headgasket on the tractor and my mom was mowing with it for about an hour and the tractor died on her...

    I went out to look at my 129 Hydrostatic today because it hasnt run in about two years and I finally have the time to take a good look at her. I was told by the Cub Cadet place in town which had looked at it for my mother that the compression release spring is broken. How hard is that to...

    Bruce- Thanks for all your help. The tractor was always professionally gone through before each season, summer winter and spring. It was always well taken care of and the rebuilder does it for a living so hopefully he didnt cut any corners. Is there a way I can look inside and see if that...

    I know its the proper dipstick because I am the second owner of this tractor and it has always been the same dipstick. So what do you guys think?? ACR spring? It is probably just a worn out rubber stopper. I remember the motor was professionally rebuilt a probably about 8 years ago so hopefully...

    I dont know if this will tell you if its the ACR but when the tractor would crank you could see the dipstick being pushed out a little bit like it was moving on its own.

    Thanks guys. I talked to my mom again today (I am currently 800 miles away at college) and she had my uncle who works on larger tractors take a look at it. Apparently he took off the dipstick inlet and held down on some spring inside of there and was able to get it to run. So my question is what...

    Yeah I already know that there is spark and fuel getting to the tractor thats what makes me wonder because with the two you should have fire you know.

    I have a mid 60's Hydrostatic 129 lawn mower that just doesnt seem to want to start this year. I put a new headgasket on her this last summer. I used her to mow grass the rest of the year which was about a month and it always started and ran real good. Went to start it this spring to cut grass...
