Just went through all that on my 62 Simplicity. . . You do some amazing work and sure are a true original . . . Looking forward for more vids on your IH . . .Great Work
Hey James enjoyed the 4whl drive build. I have a question for you. Whats a good hy trans fluid for my rebuild, I'm finishing up my 129 and can't get a straight answer from anyone around here. I just can't afford some of these high end brands, so I'm looking for a reasonably priced fluid so I can test my rebuilt pump. I'm itching to see this thing run as I've spent all winter restoring my pride and joy.
Hey thanks James, I've heard so many conflicting replies here locally and was going nuts trying to pick one. Your opinion is law as far as I'm concerned.
Cub Cadets is a good tractor to have and I own a brand new Cub Cadet xt1 endurance series and it has a Kohler 7000 series V-Twin 22 hp and it has a 46" deck and it has about 4.0 hours or so on it
Mr Johnson I was wondering if I could get your address to your place. I like the way you did your four wheel drive garden trac. And Iike to see it. I am in your area this week. Thank you. Bob Kern
I'm at 3969 Merlin Drive that is my work address call Aviation blade service I might not be there leave your cell phone number so I can call you back so I can make arrangements to meet you there I will be there today in and out all day long thanks man have a good day be a pleasure to meet you
You were asking for ideas for getting 2 hydrostatic axles to work together on your 4wd. I connected 2 tractors together to test a system i was planning to use on a 4wd, that I'm building. Check out youtube videos Colin's Custom Articulating Project and 2012 Arkansaw Plow Days Video 1. There are also videos 2 and 3. It works on a master/slave relationship, in other words you control the master axle as normal and the slave axle is controlled by pressure signals from the master. If you are interested, reply and I'll describe how it was done.
I've really enjoyed your build videos James. This is a bit hard to describe, but really works well. On the Sunstrand 15 U hydrostatic pump and motor units, there are two plugs near the suction hose connection. These plugs cap off the forward and reverse lines between the pump and motor. By connecting hoses to these plugs, pressures required to operate either forward or reverse can be captured and used to control the slave or second transaxle. Place two indentical double acting hydraulic cylinders nose to nose (connected rod to rod and the cylinder bodies are fixed). With the cylinder bodies fixed to the frame and a connection point between the rods, a link between the rod connection and the control arm on the slave transaxle can attached. When the cylinder strokes, the slave or second transaxle can be stroked from full forward thru full reverse. Connect a hose from the forward line on the master pump (left side on a John Deere) to the piston end of the cylinder which will stroke the second axle in the forward direction. Then connect a hose from the second transaxle forward plug to the piston end of the other cylinder. Finally, how it works. When the master axle is given a signal to go forward, the pressure in the forward port of the master attempts to stroke the slave axle to full forward, but as the pressure in the forward port on the slave axle increases and reaches equilibrium, the two axles travel at the same speed. Since pressure is torque, the axles are operating in sync. Two additional hoses are required for the reverse motion. If you are interested so far, let me know and we can work thru this.
I am trying to pick up what you're putting down I kind of think I understand but I'm not totally sure you might have to draw me a diagram so I can't connect the dots because I don't fully understand both of my transmission hydrostatic or headed the same way or maybe I misunderstood you I think a diagram would be better and thank you very much

You are quite welcome it won't be long I'll be getting back on the 4 wheel drive thank you for washing my boring videos
you are a good friend thats why your my friend always helping people and i want to thank you for those pictures you sent me love you guys....
you're welcome my friend
Enjoy your channel James. Thanks for posting.
You are quite welcome
glad to see your up and making more videos as always enjoy them
thank you for watching my videos

I've been using hydraulic fluid for years and never had no problem regular hydraulic fluid is fine
Which way do you drive the pin out front to rear or rear to front
If I'm not mistaken drive it off forward

DO YOU HAVE LEFT AN RIGHT STEERING SPINDLES FOR A 108 CUB CADET FOR SALE? THANK YOU
I will look and see I just sold a set
Cub Cadets is a good tractor to have and I own a brand new Cub Cadet xt1 endurance series and it has a Kohler 7000 series V-Twin 22 hp and it has a 46" deck and it has about 4.0 hours or so on it
That's cool Cub Cadet some nice tractors
New cubs are junk and r made my mtd now since 82
xt1 is not a real cub, the cubs in the video are international harvester built machines

Well... I understand, it was difficult round one. Please email me at crayhart46@gmail.com and I can send diagrams and photos. Good luck
Where can I find the two small cylinder I would like to see pictures how there a mountain
Will you won't go wrong thank you very much
