Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

Cutting grass yesterday, first cut of the year, and the Case 224 and newly installed spindle bearings, this past winter, was working great. Then, all a a sudden, oil everywhere. So will take it to my sons place to put on hoist and see what happened.

Grumble

Noel.

Well I guess on the bright side you won’t have to worry about the mower deck getting rusty for awhile!

Be interested to see what you find once you get it up on the lift.

I agree, it will be interesting what you find Noel. Harry

I had the same thought
Good luck getting it fixed.
What tractor are you mowing with now?

1980’s Sears craftsman lawn tractor Matt. It works great.

So found leak. Pump needs o ring. And I have a used o ring. Not to bad to put o ring in. But gettin the pump out is nasty.
Anybody have a good pump to travel valve hose for sale in Canada ? Mines got a small cut on the outside covering. Not leaking, but if in there change it too maybe.

@propane1 A pump o-ring would have been my last guess, and totally agree that pump removal is the last thing one wants to do.

I have three 200 series tractors destination for parting out. One may have a hose suitable for resale.

Noel , I have a number of hoses in my box of "stuff" . I have been having new ones made . quite reasonably too . Giving the age of anything used , me I go new see it is the first one in line off the pump. \The line is just a 90 swivel oring boss with a jicf straight on the other end . Just make sure you ask for 5/8" hose to maximise flow .
you may keep the change

@DavidBarkey I agree with you about having a new hose made. I miss read and pictured suction hose.

Agreed , the suction hose is another deal altogether . Older front mount take tractor are easy , just bulk hose . Newer Battery support tanks with moulded hoses are a different story .
