Looks like I'll get lucky with this one.

I put the chains on my BX the other day. Only takes a couple minutes to put the plow on.

Easy swap, get a drive shaft from a 2084 or 2284, Call Weaver for the shaft. You should be able to reuse your PTO from the Mag. Use the motor plate from the 1863, it will be a bolt in swap. Remove the throttle stop screw on the carb and you'll pick up about 2 HP. Jeff in PA makes pump adapters so th...

Nice conversion! Let us know how it works. I may copy your design, I have the same issues with my property.

What Tom said. Also the pins on the side panels are important to help support the grill. These guys seem to have the best prices lately.

Well done. Wonder how long the plastic wheels will last?

I feel your pain but just to rub it in, I need to mow. Here is what it looks like in Galax today.

I've seen it before, that's why I posted the pic on how the line go. Glad to hear that you got it fixed.

Is it plumbed properly? Maybe the PO got a line swapped.

Just a heads up guys, Xtreme is running a special on the rear end braces. $95.00 is the special price, click on the monthly specials. regular price is $130.00. I just ordered a set of the GT braces for my 1864. GT kit fits the GT's and the SGT kit is for the Supers.

NAPA 1410, Wix 51410 or Cub filter. I use NAPA1410 filters. Just had a guy with the same problem, he had an engine oil filter on his. It would move but no lift. Changed the filter and all good now. Engine oil filters have an anti drain back valve and the charge pumps have trouble overcoming the rest...

What are you using for a filter?

Jim I still think you have a head gasket issue. I've had 2 of them that ran just fine but puked oil out of the breather into the air filter. One was so bad that it would flood the engine. Just far a test I ran a hose from the breather to a catch can. That said I suggest that you contact Vanguard cus...

According to this it doesn't fit your engine

scroll down and look at the list of engines it fits and yours is not listed.

Got it covered. Plenty of milk, bread and eggs. Oh and when this Yankee moved south I brought my BX and plow with me. Pic is from the last year that I lived in CT.

I cook them outside in the gas grill.

Let us know how it works after you seal it up and re-fill it. Glad to help.

After all of this we get the complete story. Always fun to play detective. Let's hope he hasn't roached the pump from lack of oil.

Merry Christmas to all of you guys.

Did you get this thing fixed?

Side panels are still available except for the 1782 and 2182.

Part # 759-3773

About $160 with headlights from Messicks.

They look like a late Cyclops. That's the retro fit kit. If you already have that style bulb you can buy just the grill. Also you can get them for less $$$.

I don't miss CT. 62 here today, took the Honda MC out for a little ride.

From everything that has been done and the fact that he has changed the pump the only thing I can think of is that the suction tube may be plugged. As some of you know I hang out on OCC, we had this happen to one guy a while back. Turned out to be a paper towel that got sucked into the tube. I know ...

What are you using for a filter? I've seen a few that had the same problem caused by the owner using the wrong filter. Cub filter, Napa 1410 or Wix 51410 are my go to filters.

Nice work.

1641 has a Hydro gear pump, 1864 has a Sundstrand. The Hydro Gear charge pump as far as I know is not big enough to support PS.

1863 and 1864 are not identical tractors. 1863 has the Hydrogear pump and the 1864 has the Sundstrand pump along with PS. Aluminum rear is for all intents the same as the later 782's. They are not as susceptible to breakage as the Supers but even at that a set of GT braces from Xtreme will beef them...

Get the numbers off the tag on the side of the frame. Couple things look odd on this one, if it is an 1863 someone added power steering (PS mount being white is odd). Don't think it's an 1862 because it has the late style large filler gas tank and fender pan, it also has late style side panels with ...

Just sent you a PM.

Guess I'll need to have a chat with Aaron about this. If any of you guys want a copy of the directions PM me with your e-mail address and I'll send them to you.
