This 127 is turning into a parts tractor on me. I stole some parts today to go on my 106. Good news the 106 started for the first time in 15 years!

I got to look over the 127 a little closer today and a lot of little things are missing or in rough shape. I noticed they bought the wrong coil from NAPA. A very nice 12v external resistor type and the electrical wiring has been redone, poorly. This isn't going to be a quick fix tractor.

Is there a way to test a hydro without an engine? I would hate to sink money into an engine rebuild only to find out the hydro doesn't work.

I'd wager a fair sum of money that the hydro works fine. Those things just don't go bad. You can chuck up the driveshaft in a drill and spin it if you're worried though.

The wiring in my 127 is pretty bad as well. Worse than my 125 for sure. You can build a new harness fairly cheap, or I'm pretty sure they are available for not too much.
