Question About Drill Testing a Hydro Unit
I was inspired by another thread on here to attempt to test a hydro unit on my project 149.
I have it in a bay in the garage and up on jack stands and torn down to just the frame and hydro system/rearend. This might seem like a profoundly rookie question, but which direction should i spin it with the drill? The cooling fan is broken off completely so i can't use it as a guide and the motor in currently torn down to the block...and up until the last few weeks i have no experience at all with these Kohlers or any real garden tractors. I made an "adapter" that works fine with my 1/2" 750rpm max drill. I should see results at that RPM, correct? Both the manual release valves with stuck down completely and i worked them loose last evening with some pretty intense PB Blaster rehab and massaging and then reinstalled them. The interior surfaces on the valves looked perfect and so did all the seals. Also, the Hytran level appears to be about 2.5-3 inches below the fill hole, but what fluid i do get on my homemade dipstick look brand new and smells appropriate. Are the hydro functions going even function being that low or do i need to add more fluid first. All i am trying to do is get more positive feedback with the project, if i see the hydraulics work fine, it will light a fire under my rear and i'll get this thing wrapped up in a couple weeks or so.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
