Hello. I'm the PO. I added the hyd. pump, tank, valve and cylinder. After I got the tractor and tried pushing snow, raising the blade etc., I decided it was time to replace the armstrong lift and go hydraulic. The pump lay in the garage for 30 yr. so it was time to put it to use. After some shopping on evilpay, I came up with a control valve from a Bolens that has the float option and a cylinder from one of the newer cubs. After finding an old gas tank in the garage for a supply tank and a bunch of fabricating, mounting the cylinder and a new rockshaft, I came up with the hyd. system. I thought it all worked out rather well. Rob, I'm glad to see you on here and also glad you like the 127. I saw you have a small problem with the starter that I never saw. If I'd have seen it, I would have fixed it before I sold it. If I can be of any help, let me know.
Richard
