129 Ported Hydro??
 

Good friend of mine has been watching me work on my cubs. Getting the 125 going, adding the cab and other work I've done over the last year or so. Anyway, he has a 129 that the motor is down on and I think that he may have contracted "Yellow Fever". He is getting it dug out of the corner and asked me to help him find some attachments for it. He is kind of wanting to put hydraulic lift on it.

So, here's the question:
Did all the 129's come out with a ported pump? I haven't went to look at the tractor yet, and thought someone might know. Checked the parts book, it only lists one hydrostat for it, so I'm assuming they all were. Can anyone confirm? :bigthink:

The 129 I have in my shed right now does not have a ported pump if that helps you any

It was an option that was available on the 129, but it was not standard on it. That is what I was told on this forum about 2 years ago. I put a ported 149 rear end in a 129 and set it up with hydraulic lift, then sold it.

the ported pump was an option on the 129.

Yep Jonathon,
You'll have to find a ported pump. The 129's came from the factory without a ported hydro. Only the 149 and 169 came with a ported hydro. Sounds like a neat project. You'll have to keep us posted. :beerchug:

Well.... told him to pull the tunnel and send me pics. Or I'll just go look at it. Maybe we'll get lucky. Bid on a hydraulic set-up on E-pay..... but apparently someone want's it worse. I wasn't bidding any higher. I'm not going to be one of the fools we talk about in the other threads paying ridiculous prices. Anyway, I'll keep you guys posted. He wants a tiller. Found a nice one on CL, if it's still for sale. You know those C-list ads can be..... still posted, but item sold weeks ago. :beerchug:

I had a question along those lines. I have a 1250 with what I believe to be an IH lift. The tractor is hydro but the lift is manual. I would like to take the lift out of the 1250 and put it in a 129 with hydro lift. From what I see the holes/brackets/lift lever... look the same. anyone know if that will that bolt right in? The spring/adjuster is frozen and it looks like that needs to come off or back off first to avoid bad things. I hope to use this with a 3 pt to move trailers
Thanks

I may be wrong...probably am, but didn't Matt G change one over a few years ago. I was thinking he had to change some springs or something like that. I will see if I can find the post.

I was wrong, here is a link that may help.

I found a post where Matt G lists the differences between a 129 and 1250 and states there is a difference in the lift parts - I believe he was talking about the stuff linking to the back. Can't seem to find that post to link it
