Picked this up yesterday by trading in my Husky 800, I will slowly fix it up and build a loader for it.  It runs and drives!

Can anyone show me some pictures of a hydraulic lift? I'm planning to use the hydraulic cylinder that was used for the mower deck lift. Thanks!

Disregard this question, it will be more beneficial for me to use those existing hydraulics for power steering since it will get a front end loader.  Will the single action cylinder work for that?  Again I like to see some pictures, this time of a power steering set up.

Want to change the fluids and according to the manual I need SAE 30 for the engine and SAE 20 for the (Hydro) transmission, just want to get some input on oils from you guys.

[Bolens 1000]

I would use what the manual tells you to.

 

SAE30 or 10W-30 would be good for the engine oil and for the tranny SAE20 ( Type SE,SC,SD) Is recommended.

I would also change your Bolens filter 1726450 while your at it.

[woopud]

Could I get the filter at a auto parts store? Don't really see SAE 20 oil anywhere either.

I've seen it at some stores around here so I think its still out there. Hopefully someone chimes in who has one of these Hydrostatics.

I have the good USA made hydro filters in stock if you need one.

What am I missing?  Where the throttle and choke cables go through the "firewall" should there be some kind of bracket that holds the cables?

Fabbing new front axle using 1250lbs rated front spindles with 3/8" steel plate and still thinking about the idea of the 4 large wheels. It sure looks cool but turning radius will be awful.

There is a choke bracket missing that mounts right above the carb on the engine shaped somewhat like this.

And then the clamping hardware that mounts on the bracket.
