We got the original put to bed for the winter today and need something to fill it's place in the shop, so the 125 stepped up for a well needed makeover.
I picked it up this last spring and never did anything to it but park it. My idea was to use it with the tiller instead of the 123, being it has the hydraulic lift.
But before that can happen it's in need of some refreshing, extensive refreshing! The pump leaks pretty bad. Drive plate hub assembly, notice how the PO covered that up. He wrapped it with black tape and smeared dirt on it, clever.
Also has some oil leaks on the engine and bad head gasket. Needs a seat and some work to the steering. Check out the 3/8 bolt in the drag link! Got to love the PO fixes
but other than that it's pretty good
Started off today by removing the engine and pump, I'll pick at it here and there till it's up and going, now onto the pics.
