Started on the Homelite

I figured out how to make the wrong starter work...lol
Now all I have to do is find some place to stick the battery.
I'll add pic's when my computer stops being so hateful.

nevermind about the Homelite. Got it running and the old engine smokes a lil, but got some life in it, but the hydro part of the deal aint working.
Don't even try to move. full throttle it'll make a little noise in the rearend like hydro's do, but thats it.Doesn't even pull the engine down. I found that the drake drum on the side of the rearend is locked tight so something inside has got to be trashed. Looks like I got a engine for the original now.

Is there fluid in it?? is the linkage working right?

If the brake is locked on, its not going to move.......it should drag the engine down trying though.

is there any belts on hydros? and did u try rockin back in forth on it

Yes it has fluid and the linkage is working. As for the brake it's not applied. The small drum thats on the side of the rearend is locked up. I put a wrench on it and just about stripped the bolt. At a idle you can push the hydro lever full forward and full rewind and the engine only slows down maybe 100 rpm. You can hear a high pitched whine at full throttle and full forward. Oh and yes the belt is on it and it's ingaged...lol
I'm at a loss. Pertty sure it's something in the gears and or pump. I'm goin to fire it up outside when the rain stops and crack the filter with it running and see what kind of flow it has.

Jared, this one is shaft drive to a gear box that has a belt running from the side that goes to the pump. The pump on this one looks like a electric motor and it's mounted on top of what I'm calling the rearend. More of a hydraulic motor and bear box. the rearend is a sealed diff that mounts between the gear box and right wheel. (external diff) It's kinda goofy...

It could be a loose nut behind the wheel

it could be airbound or the wrong fluid or the free wheel valve is still engaged keep playing with it you can do it!!!!!

Well I know it aint air locked and I messed with the valves. The goober I bought it from said it was working when he parked it, but it had been pulled across the yard since. I just about bet he messed it up. When I get time I'll gut the rearend and see what I can find. And the I'll probably junk it...lol

You do know you can go to simple tractor and download a manual!!

Oh. I do now...

Well I hope it helps I like that tractor I want to see it done!!

I want to do something with it, but if it's goin to take much money I don't know what I'll do. The Jeep thing is keeping me broke...lol
Might sell it to someone that will restore it. I don't think I could bring myself to junk it.

Did You know that the Willys Jeep was once a dual purpose vehicle and is the first four wheel drive tractor AND it even had a pto on it. Not to mention it helped win several wars. DON'T DOG THE JEEP! AND mine is AMC not a junk dodge thing with the name on it. Thats all I got to say bout that...........
