Can I replace my Sundstrand with an Eaton hydro?

[EdG. 5]

I have an Eaton #700 015 with a date code of ‘L13E’ .

It came with the rear end assembly and nothing else,

but I don’t know what tractor it was for.

Can anyone decipher the code date (L13E) and tell me when this hydro unit

was made, and what model tractor it came on?

I’m thinking about trying to adapt it to replace my Sundstrand unit

in my 1969 Electro 12 which is shot.

The Eaton does say that it’s rotation is CCW. Haven’t checked the rotation of my Sundstrand yet.

Does anyone know if you can still get any parts for the Eaton #7?

I know you can’t get new needed parts for the old Sundstrand and all the used

parts that I have found for it are just as worn out as my parts are.

I need a Wheelhorse that isn’t afraid to do a little hard work but so far

my Horse keeps breaking it's leg and I can't get it to heal.

I can't tell you for sure what tractor the eaton 700 is out of but they started using eatons in the early 80's, the eaton 700 is the light duty eaton, the eaton 1100 is the heavy unit, and I can tell you it will bolt up to your frame, BUT after that nothing will be a bolt on, I'm sure it can be done, but the hydro linkage will have to be fabricated, oh and little by little the eaton parts are getting hard to find new.

Thanks for the info Kelly, would you happen to have a good 1100

complete for sale?

I have one in the classifieds from a 520 but I am in NY and shipping would be a killer. I could haul it to the show in Arendtsville if a certain Illinois resident wants to haul it from there. :eusa-whistle:

Thanks Squonk for your offer ~ The distance one has to travel to get some parts is the problem.

I don't mind 100 mile (+ or -) journey one way but NY would be too much for this old body of mine.

I don't know of anybody going to Arendtsville, in fact I have only met a couple of RS members from Indiana.

Kelly does have a couple of 1100's but then he is 300 miles one way from me.

I appreciate your offer.

There is a member near you that is very likely going to the show. I'll see if he would be available to haul it. Mike
