took the 147 for a "drive". hydrostatic drive adjustment
sorry about all the posting/updates, but im pretty excited. it runs well, now on to the more minor stuff. the hydrostatic transmission operates in forward and reverse but it doesnt feel like i have the full forward speed out of it. it also will not stay on the foward high speed selection on its own. you literally have to hold it there. the gas tank is on its way. its only a small drip, but it will be addressed soon. all in all the tractor was a basket case, but slowly that is changing.
some information on repairing or adjusting the hydrostatic transmission would be great. seems like the transmission is in fairly good condition, its quiet. it just needs some minor repairs/adjustments.
oh, yeah and now that the engine has been run 20 minutes, it is not as hard to crank over. cranks over allot easier and starts right up. i will change the oil after the 1st hour, 5th hour, and 25th hour as well. oil is cheap, rebuilds are not. engine has been started in a heated garage. i wait until the garage has been up to temp for a while
