Just brought her home an hour ago! Ran it through the paces and everything checks out! Now shes coming in the shop to get a good tune up, the Bolens plow taken off and replaced, fluids change, some rewiring, a motor cleaning and a couple of new gaskets, and a good carb cleaning. And maybe some fuel lines. 😁 This is my first hydro so its taking some getting used too. LOVE the hydraulic lift though! Dont know how I lasted this long without one!

Looks like a horn off an Amtrak train. That’s great.

I have the same Bronco 14, with elect clutch.  It has the 10-pinion LSD and is great for snow plowing.  I put a solid lift link to the dozer blade frame to give it down pressure.  I can lift the front wheels about 3" off the ground...great for cutting into hard-pack snow, gravel, or whatever.

The hydro is the way to go. Mowing with my 12 automatic is a snap when you have a yard with a lot of stuff to mow around.:auto-swerve:

PS. Worked with a machine years ago that had a horn similar to that and every time you would blow it it drew so much power the engine would shut off. :ychain:

I love my hydro. 

C160 moves great and I also love the lift. My arm would give out trying to lift that plow pushing snow. But I really like that seat. I want one for mine.

It certainly is! Its seen better days but it works to the momentary switch so I can fix or replace it! I'll let you know how it goes! Wouldn't mind having a "Need a Beer!" signal for the wife when Im working. :lol:

Yeah Ed, I saw that seat and didnt doubt one thing the seller told me after that. If he wasnt an honest man that seat would have been gone before he listed that tractor. So far so good. Had a little scare for a minute because he told me the lights worked so I didnt check them (who cares really. Im not concerned with the lights but it made me think he could be lying about other things). Come to find out that ignition switch is a turnback for accessory power! I had no idea. I like it!

      1054 (953) Hydraulic Unit Rebuild
      By 1054 Project
      OK, I have my new return spring. As you can see the overall length of the replacement spring is much taller than the old one. I assume I'll need to shorten the spring so that it engages with the outboard holes and at the same time have the "U" sit behind the roll pin. Or am I looking at this all wrong?
       
      Thanks in advance!

      1976 C-120 Automatic - how does the braking system work?
      By JasonMc
      Hi guys, I purchased my firs WH - a 1976 C-120 Automatic. I have a steep hill on my property and before I go down the hill, I want to understand how my braking system works. I’m aware that this year/model didn’t include disc brakes, so is the breaking purely hydraulic Via transmission and controlled by the speed lever? Has anyone encountered issues with this? Is it safe to use on a steep hill? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

      Sundstrand transmission help needed!
      By Brian33
      Hello, 
       
      I am hoping someone can help my. I recently acquired a c160 for the engine for another tractor. So I did a motor swap and wanted to see what the hydro was like. I put a plow on it C-160 (which now has a 12hp engine on it). I did a quick test run and everything was good. I drained the fluid and change the filter (Napa 1410 filter and sae 30 transmission fluid as it stated to only use this fluid on the tractor.) everything was working great after the fluid change. I plowed two driveways and the sidewalks near my house... all the sudden the tractor would not go forwards or in reverse. I tried to pick the plow up and nothing... I checked my drive belt it was turning like it should. I started to push the tractor and the rear was engaged so it would not move. Of course I was 400’ from my driveway and the plow was down which made it fun. I put the tractor in forward and started to push it and the thing took off. So I hopped on and took it to the front of the garage. I put it in revers and it cut out again so I pushed it in the garage. Today I went out to check the tow valve. I took it out and cleaned the threads up put it back in and it did not change anything. According to the dipstick I have the proper amount of fluid in it. I did have a drip that I fixed on the cylinder still nothing... does anyone out there have any tips to help me out? I’ve never had a transmission like this only manual transmissions. The model of this transmission is the sundstrand 90-1140.
      Any help would be greatly appreciated.
       
      Brian
