1650 Newbe
New to the club and the Cubs. Just inherited a 1970's 1650 with 48" deck and 48" blade. It is supposed to be in good running condition but has not been run in at least 3 years. The former owner was a do it yourself repair man, lost the key and started taking it apart to install a new cyclinder so I have some work to get it going again. I have owned hydrostatic before with a JD 140 and liked it. Looking forward to dumping my Gravely's and start riding again. Manual say that you should not tow it without releasing the hydraulic system. Others say it is safe to move it backards 30-40 feet with out releasing the lever. Problem is the lever is missing and I would rather get it home before I get into the chassis to hook it up again.. Any thoughts?
