Niiiiice work!

Thank you. I’ve been looking for a front hitch for a couple years now. 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.

Happy Easter Gentlemen!

 

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!

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).

Here is the parts diagram for an Eaton 1100.

I think the control shaft and seal should be the same on your Eaton 700

For some reason they pictured it upside down.

 

The control shaft is #37 and your seal is #36

Good day for changing oils and putting the snow blower and plow tractors away for the year. And getting the Commando 8 ready for mowing duties.
