Can I change the hoses on my GT1800 without draining the transmission?  Thanks.

Should be able to. Make sure you have plenty of kitty litter on hand. Gonna be messy if you drain the tranny or not.

If memory serves me right that would be an Eaton 1100 and one of the hoses connects near the bottom of the transaxle, drain it first.

Not a GT pro but woulda thought it to be a Sunny Richard? Guess I better go look at the manual.

Agree on messy and, frankly, getting to the connectors on the bottom of the control valve involves pretty much disassembling the entire hood stand.

      Drive belt length.
      By Bill D
      I have a GT1800 that I have swapped an M14 into.  The original drive belt is too long for the Kohler.  I tried a 7473 belt and that was too long.  I'm guessing I need an 81" belt.  Does anyone know for sure?  I'm thinking it should be the same length as a 314H?   I'm trying to avoid multiple trips to TSC with the price of gas.  Yes, I do have the correct hydro pulley on the Kohler.  Thanks.

      Another hydro pedal
      By Bill D
      I wanted a pedal control for my recently acquired GT1800.  This is what I came up with.  It still needs some finishing and I may rework the foot pedal.  It's basically bolt on other than drilling a 7/8" hole in the belt cover.  I'm also considering building an automatic neutral return if I can find the right torsion spring.  I would appreciate any input and advice.

      Hydro lockup. Problem?
      By Bill D
      I've got an Eaton 1100 in a GT 1800.  I noticed that it pushes quite easily after it had been sitting and not running for awhile.  The manual says the transmission should lock up when pushed, but this one doesn't.  I've had it running and it does move okay.  It will lock up if you try to push it right after you shut it off?  It hasn't been running in a month, and now it pushes easily.  Is this normal or do I have a problem?
