I use the 51410 also. I called Wix yesterday and told them of the discrepancy. They suggested going by the application instead of the crossover. Of course their application in 51084. Charlie Proctor once stated that the 51410 is for aluminum rears and the 51084 is for cast rears. Don’t see why that would make a difference. I’ve never had a problem with the 51410 and will continue to use it. I was just pointing out the contradictions.

I just go to the Green store and get their purdy black filter with yeller numbers for about $8. :biggrin2:

Hydro is alive and well
 

I got the Cub started today with the sparkplug barely holding on by one thread. The hydro works great and rear end is also fine driving it around the driveway. I turned it off for a second to get off since it creeps forward slightly with the brake pushed down. When I cranked it back up it blew the plug out the hole!! Now, won't get to do a working test until my replacement head arrives.

Thanks for all the pointers!

Replaced gasket, no reverse
 

I replaced the small cork gasket between the hydro and the rear end housing. Now I only have forward capability. With the lever forced all the way to the reverse position, it barely stops the tires from moving. I still have another leak from the hydro housibg so its coming back out to replace the big gasket.

I had to replace the transmission control plate and the pivot bracket due to both of them being damaged and hacked together.

I tried the adjustment procedure of sliding the pivot bracket down like in the manual but that really didn't change anything. Whats next as far as adjustments?

The attached pictures show the linkage in forward, reverse, and brake position.

So, I replaced the big gasket between the aluminum and metal on the hydro unit. Put Hytran back in and started it up and I STILL have a leak. :bash2: Since I cleaned the whole unit with brake cleaner I was actually able to see where the leak is coming from now. It's leaking from the drivers side trunnion seal. I am ordering the SU-15 Hydrostatic Pump rebuild kit PN/ 9510172 and just going to go through and replace all of the seals on the unit. This will be the third and last time I pull the hydro from the 149.

Looking forward to this.
Should be interesting.

:Pray::popcorn:

I got the hydro out today and pretty much disassembled on the bench. Plan on putting everything in the parts washer to clean up while I wait for the kit to come in. Now for the pics.

Split the hydro assembly.
