Well now that's quite a bit of conversation! To add my 2 cents worth, I realize most of the differences, I work at a Deere dealership and have operated various hydrostatic units from older to newer garden tractors to the new combines. There's pros and cons to them all. I do like my 2 old case tractors and find that the hydraulic drive system is simple and in my 1973 Case 224 works very well. It doesn't whine and scream like the hydro in my 1855 Massey. Back to my original question, I have checked the linkage and find only a very small amount of play. Absolutely less than is represented in the movement of the lever required to make the machine back up properly. However the engine runs so poorly that I may not be able to continue diagnostics of the hydraulic drive properly. I just wondered if the the valve itself could be faulty. Like Tom said I'll check it all out closely when I take the engine out to rebuild it. Just hoping the pump and drive motor etc are still ok. If it needs all these parts too I'm second guessing if this should become a parts tractor.
