Sundstrand Series 15 Inline Pump/Motor Rebuild
Apr 08, 2013 10:37 AM |
Petenpole
in Tech Tips / How To
The mysterious pump between our legs that provides our forward and reverse momentum as well as the extra oomph for lift cylinders isn't really that intimidating when it comes time to rebuild one.
It actually took about 10 times as long to write the following than to do the actual tear down and re-assembly.
Pop open a cold one, lean back in the recliner, and with new bi-focals, you too will have all the confidence needed to tear it down, identify the flaws and why the power has dissipated and what to do in short order to have it back running at its peak performance.

I have been asked about this a few times, so decided to do an article on my building of a 2 bottom plow. I jury-rigged up my 2 bottom plow to see if my Massey tractor would pull her. It is simply two 10" Brinly's coupled together. My modified MF1650 p...

For a first annual event, this was a huge success! The weather threatened to postpone the event, but the rain stopped early Saturday morning and the fields dried up enough to make for some great plowing!

For those of you that read my previous thread “Onan BF/MS Rebuild Dilemma”, this thread is a follow-up. In my previous thread, I finally pulled the Onan BF/MS from my SS/16 because it was burning a lot of oil and fouling plugs. What I found was not g...

My Trip Back In Rototiller History

I recently had the opportunity recently to travel to Troy, NY and do some research into the history of Rototiller and Troy-Bilt. These are the doors leading to once famous Troy-Bilt tiller factory at the corner of 102 St & 9 Ave in Troy, NY. Before that this was the home of ROTOTILLER, INC. from 1937 until around 1959 when Porter-Cable purchased controlling interest and moved the operation to Syracuse.

What do you get when you take 200 garden tractors with single bottom, two bottom Brinly and 3pt plows and a weekend of nothing but awesome weather? The answer would be the PA Plow Day in Danville, PA and 80 acres plowed. This year's weather was absolutely perfect spring time weather for plowing with the garden tractors.

I got the Agricat about 5-years ago and it ( and the Lindeman ) are mainly just for show now. I do get them out and play a little once in a while but I don't work either one very much at all. As far as how rare it is .. I have seen about 7 Agricats over the last 8-years ( this being one of those) Most were the Model-F ( about a foot longer than this ) and a couple were the model-C like this.
