Last summer I delivered 2 tractors to Red Power. I finished them both with 2 days to spare. On my initial "test run" the 1206 I built leaked... um... um... what now. I bought a used pump off x-bay, and hoped for the best. I pulled the rear end, and swapped the pump the day I had to load for the trip.
After that, I had to come up with a way to test the transmissions before I painted them.
I was surprised how much horsepower it takes to run them. I tried a .5 horse, 1 horse, and finally, I'm using a 1.5 horse engine. It can only run it 1 to 1 ratio, so it's only turning 1750 RPM, but I can at least see if there are any leaks.
