Congratulations Brian!!! Thanks for sharing the pictures and videos. Looks like a real arm saver!

That must have been a universal pump for a lot of GT hydraulic systems. My W.H. has the same unit and I know C.C. used it too.

My wheel horse manual has a parts breakdown for the pump if you ever need it.

Here's what it says about the pump oil level: ''Remove filler plug and fill to top of hole with fluid. NOTE: Filler plug is mounted off vertical center line of unit. This is to prevent over filling. An air space must be left in the top of the tank, so no attempt should be made to completely fill reservoir."

It looks like the filler hole. in your pump, is in about the same position as the one on my W.H. so I guess the instructions would apply to your unit too.

I almost forgot. It says to "Replace plug and tighten"... just in case you didn't know.

The Bolens auxiliary pump is identical to the ones used on the Cub Cadets. My 125 I used to have had the hydraulic lift. I wish I would have kept the tractor just for the lift.

Congrats on getting it mounted up and working. Does make them like a new tractor. Brian if I remember I will take a pic tomorrow of the lift cylinder on Dad's 800 because it has most of the sticker left on it. Looks like a big tape measure with inch markings on it.

Thanks for the good info Guys!

I got to use it for about 30 minutes today when blowing the driveway.... No leaks or problems

That looks like the same setup that's on my uncles CC 100 that he no longer uses.Oh I forgot those run the other direction.
Did you rebuild that TRA10D? It sounds really good.
My old 1050 had a badly worn front crank bearing but it still run.

Yeah I replaced the Rings, valves,guides and put in a new rod I had laying around. It runs great!!! BTW... Its a TR-10D

So I'm getting the feeling that he wants to sell but at the same time he is sort of attached to the stuff and has a hard time getting rid of it?

Nice job with the new addition to the 1050. Yours was a lot simplier of an addition than when I converted my Bolens 1600H from manual lift to hydraulic. I am glad I did as it is a real back saver. Have fun with it and nice videos.

How well do those rubber strap 'tire chains' work? I haven't seen anything like those before.

They work good. I'm not going to lie, chains are the best thing to use but if you need t save your driveway get these
