OOOOOooooo... You Tease YOU! ROFL..
What a pain with all the rust just trying to get the 125 apart
. This drake rod cotterpin won`t let go. I attempted to drill but did not have much luck. I need to remove it to get at the bolt that holds the steering box in place on the frame.
Don, I believe you're gonna need a small punch to drive it out. Or if you can break off each end of the cotter pin the rod might come out. On my #2 125 that brake rod rusted in place on the transmission end and then broke so there are no longer any brakes on that Cub. Good thing it's a hydro and I don't have much for hills on the property...

Couldn't you remove the tunnel cover and get at it easier from the top? Oh wait...I forgot... This is one of those "Perfection 125's".

Well I don`t give up easy lol. I did get that pin out without breaking anything.This will be my first nf tractor,It might be some time till I get at the 147
.I think all these old tractors were left out side and rust is the biggest problem with taking them apart.In the am I should have this apart and then its all sanding from here on in. Thanks guys .
I wanted to get the 125 rear end ready to install but the brake won`t move. I used pb blaster and soaked it last night.With a tap on the rod I can move it about an inch.
I looked in parts look up and see the pin has a slot in it and removed the brake adjuster nut so I could remove pin 6 . That pin will not budge
. I wanted to see how much of the brake puck was there. I think this will go back together like it is.I need to find a better way to get these rusty tractors apart. There must be something on the market today that will eat the rust for me.??

Much better ! I sprayed some rust check on them stubborn parts and got 7 moving again with out the adjuster bolt. I put the adjuster bolt back in place (where it was) and can now move the rod back and forth to the brake puck.
I think I will have a working brake now. I also redid the trunnion , I installed new springs and got it working. I have one check valve stuck and will take that out and See if I can free it up next.
My project for this afternoon was to be sure the manual hydro valves worked on the 125 pump. Just to be sure I removed them and installed one at a time on my 1512 dieasel and ran the tractor. I was able to get both working with the button popping back easly. So I put them back in the 125 hydro pump.This rear ends just needs new fluid and filter and I`am good to put it back in the tarctor. A Day done for me.Slow and sure won`t win a race but it will , get er done. Email says CCS shipped my parts today at 1.01 pm . Thanks Charlie

This one's going to need some work, but it came with a #1 cart. Looks like someone tried to disguise the original engine as a replacement. Rear axle may have gotten bent when front blade got broken off. That may also be when the hood disappeared.

Have you replaced the O-ring on the brake puck? If not, I would, so you don't have to pull the rear again to change it.

No I did not change out the o ring yet , I will need heat to get the pin (6) out. It did not leak and I did get the brake arm moving. That O ring would be the only thing that I did not have a look at. Heck I guess your right I should finish it and replace the O ring and I`ll be done. Thanks Don

I thought you stopped playing that rough with your toys awhile back, Say 50 some years ago

Well I did cut a hole in a block of oak today so I can make a puller for the steering wheel that has been soaked every day.I will take it to be cut on a band saw later.I`am sanding away here.
I hate to sand , I know its all in the prep work ,But ,all my tractors work.
