I just got started mowing yesterday (Ford 5600), was on about my
third lap around when I noticed hyd fluid spraying out below my
right foot. I shut it right down and was able to see that it was
coming out where the pump bolts to the transmission case,
spraying towards the back from in between the two. There weren"t
any cracks that I could see at the time. The pump was still working
fine and I didn"t notice any other problems. Could that just be a
gasket that blew out? If so, what might cause that? The filter and
fluid are fairly fresh, only about 10hrs or so since I changed them.
