I have found a complete hydraulic lift assembly that is still on a parted out 122. It is in working condition. The price is not cheap but it is reasonable.
Does anybody have any experience about the dependably of a unit like this considering its age with no knowledge about how much its been used.
The local CC dealer said some of the parts are still available for it but not all.
If bought it will be installed on a 122.
Any advice or opinions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill

Bill-
There's been quite a few narrow-frame hydraulic lifts have have gone to the scrap pile because of the spool valve return spring inside. I've bought one with one end of the spring broke off but luckily not run through the pump. I think there's someone on here that did get one that had the spring broke and the pump ate it and had one heck of a time finding replacement gears.
Best advice to avoid future problems is to buy a new spool return spring, I think they're somewhere around $20. At the same time pull the pump cover off on the inside and check the condition of the gears and the bushing on the idler gear. . . . . and it sounds like a waste of time, but take a picture or draw yourself one of the way the spring is assembled to the pump body, you'd be suprised how many ways it will go on and look right but not work the same.
Other than that I think the O-rings in the cylinder are replaceable, I've never done it but Steve Blunier has. And if you don't get a float lockout clip they're available through at least one of the sponsors, they're helpful at times.
As for dependability, if you take the time to look through it before you install it, it's VERY dependable. I won't own a narrow frame tractor without one, I had one on my 72 and 73, and the tractor I'm building will have one as well.

Ryan- Congrats on the son.
Charlie- I'll second your motion for Spring. I think after this week my @$$ has the imprint of the 1650's seat well imprinted. I'm getting tired of fixing the little things that keep going wrong with the snow equipment this winter plus I'm running out of places to pile the stuff.

Congratulations to you and your wife.
Look's like you a little guy to be proud of there!
Steve B.
Good luck with your wife's delivery.
We tried the same thing when our son was born but ended up having to have a c-section anyway.
You just never know.
Jeff R.
With four daughters, you might want to add the shotgun and backhoe to the garage list.

Had a good day blowing snow and cleaning things up from pushing with the blade all week. The 109 really proved it might be a keeper. Had no problems with the QA42A. I did speed up the auger a little by switching to a 4" pulley instead of the stock one that measured 4 1/2". Was surprised that the local hardware store had one on hand with the correct bore of 3/4" and a 3/16" keyway. The PO of the tractor said that it smoked when running but once it got HOT it did not smoke. Plan on checking the oil in the morning once it is good and cool. The 10 hp had more snoot than the 582 has when I put the blower on it and the 582 is a 16!!!
Had a thought when I was blowing that some day it would be neat to fashion a rear mount blower similar to what is mounted on a farm tractor and mount it from a sleeve hitch. Think that this may be a future project once I get all my other projects done including the "Honey Do List"!!LOL

Jerry-
With the light snows you'd get out there I'd imagine the sky's the limit for blade width. My cousin in Bozeman moves snow with a little CJ-5 and there isn't much of that light stuff he can't handle. With my 54" blade at full angle and in wet snow I find that even with tri-ribs on my unpaved drive the blade overcomes my steering.

I am having a charging problem with my 128. The ampmeter usually shows a slight charge, but it is not enough to keep the battery up. When I ground the "F" terminal on the starter/gen, the gage goes over much further. Is there a way to adjust the regulator, or should I just go ahead and get a new regulator.
Jerry B,
I don't think they ever made anything that I can find for 42" blades other than the Original, I'm sure Kraig will show me the error of my ways though, grin
Travis sells these,

Had some nice surprises lately.
When I push the snow out of my drive, I also do the sidewalk the length of our block and the crosswalks at each end, partly because we have an elementary school across the street. On Monday and Tuesday this week, I also did the drives for some of the neighbors who get home late. I've done Desi's a few times this winter. Today he showed up with a couple of deep-dish pizzas and a 12-pack of some kind of beverage in green bottles from Holland. I'll investigate some of those in a few minutes.
A couple of days ago, another neighbor came out and helped me push the 109 back up out of a ditch. I couldn't "read" the ground under the snow, and dropped a front wheel off right at the end of a culvert. Ag tires don't work very well in reverse going up a hill.
Yesterday morning before I went to work, another neighbor was using his push snowblower to clear the sidewalk in front of our house.
It's nice to be appreciated.

The investigation has begun. First one tastes pretty good.
Just moved the 147 out of the garage and into the shed, and the 109 with the blade into the garage. Yesterday at school, I put four gallons of -25 degree washer fluid (89 cents per gallon on sale at Menard's) in each of the 8.50 turf tires. On the way home, I got the bolts and nuts for the 26# weights I just painted to go on tomorrow, then the chains will go on. Backing up will hopefully be a lot easier. For right now, I have 9 PSI in each tire. Does that sound like a good starting point? Can I get by with another gallon in each of the tires?
I also put 5 gallons in each of a set of 10.50's for the 147. Could I use six?
