trapperjoe 1 #1 Posted March 26, 2010 I have 3 GT-14`s that all have the same trouble. the hydro is weak. I`ve explored inside them and found broken springs in valves, and I re-surfaced the swash-plate in one and shimmed it back to original. I just can`t make them useable anymore. Someone suggested the overhaul shop, but they want about $1,000.00 to make it work. What have you guys done to fix these old machines? A neighbor suggested that if I`m out of ideas, I could try some 50 weight racing oil instead of trans fluid... A couple years ago, I switched the pump/motor from a Bronco-14 onto a GT-14, but lost one direction (forward? or reverse?). Can that switch be made successfully?

Brrly1 1,146 #2 Posted March 26, 2010 Hello Trapperjoe, I am pretty sure there can be a swap made. You can also look for a piston to piston setup out of a C160 which will work also. I guess I have been fortunate and have only had to replace broken springs. There are quite a few different people on here that can help. Don't give up on them because they can be repaired.

Roger from southern Iowa 1 #3 Posted March 26, 2010 I recommend taking Burly's advice, don't give up on them!! I also have a GT14 that works great. Believe me, you will love them when you get them going. And :omg: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trapperjoe 1 #5 Posted March 26, 2010 Thanks all. I used my best GT-14 for 4-5 years before it "gave-up". I know what they can do! It mowed grass very nicely!! I picked-up a couple more about the same time for parts, but they are complete enough that I hate to tear them apart. I`m not sure what to try next. Where do you get parts for these trannys?

Brrly1 1,146 #6 Posted March 26, 2010 Trapperjoe, What kind of parts are you looking for? I can get springs. See Ya, Bye Burly :omg: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trapperjoe 1 #7 Posted March 27, 2010 Thanks Burly, but the problem IS, I don`t know what they need. It`s been a few years now since I was into one, so I don`t remember all the parts now. Can you estimate what it would take to make one "not feasable to repair"? Joe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baerpath 517 #8 Posted March 27, 2010 I listed one in the for sale section for parts, the rear was suppossedly rebuilt. I do know they had it apart, cause the axles are put back in backwards I'm in NY and have 4 of them Duane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
