So, I picked up tires today for the 129 I got a couple weeks ago.. Now Why the hell people use slime, fix a flat, or any other crap in a garden tractor tire is beyond me. In a car, stuck on the highway with no spare.. Okay I get it. But this PO takes the cake I have never seen this much crap in a tire. Good new is I got the tires mounted just fine. I need to buy front wheel bearings but just greased them for now..

Maybe one of you Hydro guys can tell me about this. I started it up. Raised the idle to about half I touched the hydro control forward and WOW.. Damn thing did a wheelie. Glad I didn't push it all the way. I tried this a few more times and man that thing is way more responsive and touchy than my 1211. No funny noises, its responsive in reverse also. It really really surprised me though. It feels fine as I said. If I slowly engage it and go slowly faster and faster I can control the response. Is this normal on these older hydros?
