I found a few on eBay a while ago but haven’t seen em on there since. I ran across the thread on here a few days ago and remembered I got a seized up mule drive with my 73 and figured it was the perfect candidate. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This morning I began the process of figuring out what is leaking on the 312A’s hydro pump. Lot of cleaning ahead of me… I also ordered a new motion control plate as this one is pretty wallowed out. Update: I refilled the reservoir with SAE 30 motor oil and waited and waited and waited. Then, I noticed oil weeping out from under the cam follower arm. After looking at the parts diagram, it doesn’t appear there is a serviceable seal underneath. Anyone have more experience with this issue? Also, in preparation for the upcoming replacement cam plate operation, I removed the 106661 eccentric cam and sure enough it needs replacing due to excessive wear. Grass is growing day by day. Gotta get this horse out to pasture soon! Edited 5 hours ago by BrianKoch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasaytheMann 3 #25678 Posted 4 hours ago I changed the oil and oil filter, and greased all 4 zircs. The recycler deflector had both bottom corners broken off, which sent grass all over the place, so I installed a piece of flooring and metal retainer to block it off. Buying a new deflector and parts for $75+ isn't in my budget at the moment. On a side note, I went down to the local Autozone to buy some sae30 oil. I didn't see any on the shelf so I asked an employee if they had any in the back warehouse. I told him I needed 2 qts. He came back with 2. When they rung it up, it showed it was 1 cent a qt. The manager said it was discontinued and they just wanted to get rid of it. I told them I'd buy whatever they had left. Walked out with 7 qts for 8 cents (sales tax was 1 cent). 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gotta get this horse out to pasture soon! Here is the parts diagram for an Eaton 1100. I think the control shaft and seal should be the same on your Eaton 700 Hydro.pdf For some reason they pictured it upside down. The control shaft is #37 and your seal is #36 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
