rydogg 186 #1 Posted April 8, 2011 This is my first hydrostatic wheel horse so I am in new territory, the problem is that the motion control lever is very hard to push in either direction I can get it to move and the tractor will go forward and reverse but shouldn't the hydro lever be easy to move? fluid is good and full and I drove it around for a while to see if it would improve once the hydro warmed up but it didn't help. . I have two c series parts mowers with hydros can I use parts from these if necessary? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
racinfool40 202 #2 Posted April 8, 2011 If it's been sitting aawhile the shaft that run thru the hydro control pobably needs cleaned..look by your left leg while sitting on the tractor and you will see a bolt that holds that shaft..take the bolt out and see if it move's better.. You may need to romove and clean.. if you remove it be careful there's a small woodruff key you will need.. also her's a manual for the hydro's look it over and you will see what I'm talking about also look on page 22 tyells how to adjust for tension.. http://www.mywheelhorse.com/graphics/file/...n_1965-1982.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
