I had a '79 1250, very similar to yours. The only thing I didn't like about it was being a Hydro, it would run away on the downhills - freewheel - making it necessary to brake. This, of course, would move the Fwd-Rev lever and you would have to reset it. This was the only complaint I ever had with mine.
My second Cub, a 1440, holds downhills and doesn't have this trait. Of which I am very happy.
Good luck with your tractor, it will run for many, many years with the proper care.
