STP seemed to help

[steve k 82]

Well years ago I inherited my Grandfathers '68 electro 12. After mowing with it one season reverse went away, it sat in the barn for a few years not being used. Then I found this site! After doing some research on this site I decided to check out the acceleration valve springs and found them all busted up.....A member on here gave me the info on where to get new springs. After installing the springs the tractor worked great again however the ground speed did slow a little after the fluid got warm. Yesterday before plowing I drained a little ATF out of the rear and added a container of STP to the trans to keep the viscosity of the fluid up.(I am sure the rear has considerable wear after all the years) It seemed to work good, no bad effects so far and the performance seems to stay the same after plowing 3HRS.

Thanks for the tip, I am about to replace the acceration valve springs on my GT 14 and will also put in some STP! Did you use a full can of STP?

Yes I did. warmed it a little on the stove in the garage and poured it in.
