nyquil junkie 277 #1 Posted 2 hours ago This is the 314A I got in that auction I posted about elsewhere. I got the steering hammered out, figured out the starting issue, a few dirty grounds and a clutch safety and now it starts fine w the key. So I go to take it for a good ride, and it started out ok but within 50 feet, it stopped, got slow, wouldn't move, grabbed a bit, jerked a little, moved along slowly.... would hardly pull itself up a grade. Ugh. I was taking it to another driveway to take it apart and clean it anyway, so I see the little reservoir under the seat is nearly empty. I looked up the spec, filled it with 10w30 as its all I had, close enough until its changed. I worked it back and forth a while, some bubbles worked out, but its still as weak and a sick kitten. I jacked up the rear and let it run a while in rev and fwd. You can stop the wheels with your hands at full engagement. After about 15 min of shifting and running, its still barely moved the tractor at full engagement. This is bout where my pay grade ends. Is there something else I can try here? I'm not gonna replace the pump or anything heroic, I can part it out or something if its shot but I had planned to sell it off as a whole working tractor.... oh well. What are my options here....

Bill D 2,862 #4 Posted 1 hour ago If you could score a good Eaton 1100 transmission it would swap right in with just 4 bolts and the brake and control linkages. Just run a hose directly from the high pressure port for the hydraulic lift on the 1100 back into the filter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are more often neglected as 1100 series as well from what I have seen. You do have options to swap in another pump. As Don said an 1100 will bolt right in after you remove the transaxle adapter plate. Another option is to replace the entire transmission with an 8 speed. Zero modifications since it already has manual lift, and very few parts to make it work. The frame and sub parts were made to accept both so things like a clutch pedal and linkage along with the brake parts is all you need. And a shifter top cover to replace the DCL style panel. Very common parts. Edited 17 minutes ago by kpinnc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
