Scored some parts need some advise
 

Stopped at a local scrap yard today looking for a small yard cart trailer to fix up & stumbled across a 149 Hydro like mine , It's pretty beat up but had a headlight kit wich I pick up for $5 .Idid'nt have many tools with me so Going back tomarow to get a few more parts . Question I noticed It had what looked like a Hydralic valve body & cylinder inside / behind the engine compartment , What is this for should I get them , Thanks

That is what raises and lowers your deck, plow, and other things. I would grab both and the hoses. Would be worth getting the lever that goes with it too.

I would try to get the whole tractor!:biggrin2:

Mine is a 129 & this other is a 149, my deck is mechanical , so I'm assuming there was a Hydralic option on other models , Could this be used for a three point in the rear ?? The lever is missing is it the same as mine & Can I mount these to my Transmission or are they different ??? Sorry to bombard you with questions just whant to know befor I buy ?? & sould I try to buy what is left of the whole tractor ???

Yeah, and restore it. :biggrin2:

I mean theres still alot there Engine , Trans rear wheels & tires , no front wheels , no deck , no carb, front grill , hood is badly smashed , steering wheel is bent . I'm thinking about buying it all but to be honest I dont need any more projects.?? I may just strip the parts I need & call a friend who has several IH Cub Cadets & send him to buy the rest , I know he will add pics of headlights just pulled the whole nose section

Buy it for scrap price and strip it. Bring back the rest you don't need and put the cash back in your pocket. You'll come out on that deal.

I need a ported hydro unit if it is there. Mine is really weak. Let me know if that is possible.
Thanks, Mark:bigthink:
