New member here with a 129
 

Just got a 74 model 129 hydro. Guy in town has about a dozen he bought as a package deal i got one for $250. I got it home, tank is clean, carb was dripping. I rebuilt the carb put in a new plug and it popped off and runs & drives. The PTO seems really noisy though.
I've read a lot here over the weekend this is a wealth of info.

:Welcome2:

Well, I've got it to where it busts right off at a turn of the key. No brakes whatsoever and the hydro linkage is a little wonky-looks like everything just moves around too much around the trunnion, but overall it drives OK.
Steering linkage is sloppy so I've ordered new spherical rod ends thru my auto parts store.
