peter lena 8,625 #7 Posted October 13 @ mark siebenaler , might check wally world for battery , 300 cca , $ 32 , have had very good luck with wally batteries , also have a battery tender hook up on each of my horses , so its a quick / simple plug in . pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark siebenaler 88 #8 Posted October 13 Well not to happy right now. Put a temp battery in it got it running. Goes forward but won't make it up the ditch and only a slight reverse. My fault trusted the guy he only showed me a video of it going forward and when I went to pick it up he said the battery took a dump. Anyway for 400 bucks I'm still ok . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't give up hope. @squonk has found that using 10 W 40 motor oil can help a Sundstrand come back to life. That and a new WIX 51410 filter (or NAPA 1410) may make a big difference. The attached manual will give you some other considerations including acceleration springs to consider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 17,739 #14 Posted October 13 First simple stuff...Hydro filled with fluid?? (Red is ATF Tan Motor oil 10w-30/40) Do not mix them Make sure drive pulley on pump isn't slipping Richard types faster than I do. Look at trouble shooting in the manual he linked Is tow valve closed ?? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark siebenaler 88 #17 Posted October 13 Maybe it has something to do with tow valve. Yesterday when loading the guy said it won't freewheel so I put it into freewheel probably for very first time ever I wonder if it could be something there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,739 #18 Posted October 13 Try working the tow valve ...you can turn it around and around it is a port type valve...may fix it self if not you can pull it but access is a PITA Does the midmount lift go up and down??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark siebenaler 88 #19 Posted October 13 Ok sorry i made a mistake all good now. The tow valve was still in freewheel position. I'm going to go slap myself now. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
