hydro swap out

what all would it take to swap out a regular 6 spd spicer with some kind of hydro unit??? prolly not worth the money or hassle lol

Most of the guys here shy away from the hydro transaxles. But if you want one, you would need a pump to power it, unless the pump was built in. Then its just a matter of making it fit.

Hydro's are better suited to mowing lawns - its easier to use a manual offroad, have more control and can take more of a beating . Hydros can overheat if the fan breaks, or if theyre run hard - theyre also specifically set for certain gear ranges - no modding one.

i figured since alot of garden tractors had them it might benefit me to have one to pull a moldboard plow with, I'm determined to plow a garden with the LT1000 lol

Nothing wrong with wanting a tractor to do a little work. thtats what they're for.


My little lt75 is there for nothing else. I'll never cut it up, it's just too rare, especially around here.

I work'em like i stole'em lol I have a 14/42 huskee that see's the worse of the abuse, it has to mow, pull, drag, push, etc. lol she never complains lol

I have a spicer 4 speed & I like it. Easy to work on & easy to change gearing. I use mine for moshing in the snow and going fast. Just change a pulley & belt and go. I don't beat it or jump it. I've ran it hard and the only prob. I had was the wooddriff key . I know both kinds of tranaxles don't like pulling lots of wieght all the time. It kills them.
