Ed H,
Check #39 on the FAQ link. Best place to get HyTran is your nearest Case-IH dealer (CC dealers have it too but it will cost more). Takes 7 quarts so I would get 2 gallons to have some in reserve. Unless the previous owner changed it recently that you know of, it would be good to change it. Get a new gasket for the back cover plate while at your Case-IH or CC dealer as well. The hydraulic oil filter on the front of the hydro pump should be replaced at the same time as well. Hopes this helps.

Glen,
I believe it is technically possible to make a K321 a K341. Boring the cylinder to 3.75" dia,k341 piston and rings. BUT this will make the cylinder wall very thin. Also there will be balance issues. I WOULD NOT DO IT! Yes I'm yelling. If the cylinder needs boring, do only enough to eliminate out of round, scratches, ridge at top, etc}. Looking for more HP go here http://members.aol.com/pullingtractor/tips.htm

OKAY.... A 124, did these machines ever have any type of seat springs or anything? The seat pivots up/down and rides on the steel rails it sits on and kills your back? If this is the way they came through than I'm thinking of modifying this setup somehow before my back gives out.
Any ides?

Paul P., that is the stock setup. You could modify it with the next series (1x6/7) seat setup which had a couple of "C" springs.
Glen, find someone that wants to turn a K341 into a K301/321 and do a swap.
A good day!Scraped the excessive amount of carbon from the 128 head,adjusted the valves,reassembled,and it fired right up!MMO from this day forward.Now to the 1650;started leaking Hy-Tran after a day of heavy use.After shut down,heard a "bubbling" sound coming from the hydro.Had a static leak for 2 days,now nothing.Took a good look today and the only hint of fluid loss was at the tow release valve.Is this a pressure relief valve if the hydro overheats?

gentlemen! i need to talk to somebody that knows all about cub cadet's. am i in the right place? just bought a model 1000 and the mower deck is too wide to fit through the door on my shed. the door is 48" wide. how common are the smaller decks for a wide frame tractor? will the deck from a narrow frame fit my carriage assy.? i'm really impressed with this model. i've had countless jd's and the red ones, but this is my first cubby and i'm just not real familiar with them. thanks in advance for your help.
What do you all recommend for the type of bar tires for a wideframe workhorse (in this case a wall used and loved 149), you know for mowing, plowing, and overall fun? I hear that the Carlisle TruPower At tires get the job done for most plowdayers, and I think that they look good, and shouldn't eat your yard up too bad...
BTW Hugh!

Sounds like the Hy-Tran got pretty darn hot. In answer to your question...NO...there are no pressure release valves to open and release on pressure build up. There is a Brass Mesh Breather Plug on top of the transmission, that allows the transmission to breath. That could be painted over or clogged with dirt.
I would suggest that you check to see why your oil got that hot. Is the Hydro fan intact, correctly installed, and blowing air accross the hydro unit...??? Is the hydro unit clean and free from dirt buildup. May I also suggest changing the HyTran and Filter.
