Hydro 100

Whats more efficient? rebuilding the hydro or installing a gear drive transmission? Can it even be done? Thanks for your help.

Just depends on your personal preferance. If your looking for something that is going to last longer I'd go installing gear drive. Many people forget about certain tractors having a hydro and tow them anyways when they need moved. Thus damaging the hydro and needing rebuilt.

You cant just "install a gear drive transmission".There are a lot of parts that need to be swapped as well as the transmission.Speed trans/TA;Range trans;clutch;steering support;shifters.....The list goes on. You will need a complete donor tractor. At that point,cheaper and easier to buy a 966.Rebuild the Transmission. Herrs Machine,Washington KS has drop in exchange transmissions. The best route,as far as I am concerned. Call em.
