When you say you can turn it off down by the foot petal (you mean on the clutch side?). The manual calls for disconnecting the throwout arm and spring. When I disconnected the throwout arm, I never found a spring even though there is a hole on the outside (below the clutch) for one. I was able to pull the throwout arm as the manual called for. I started working from the access door on the right side of the tractor (below the foot petals) and its a very tight space to work in. I have heard people say the guts are put together like a swiss watch and the parts shown in the instruction manuals verify that. Chris [Reply]   [No Email]

If nothing is hooked up to the remote and you pull the lever on the dash for the remote does the motor strain any? If it does the problem is not the pump. The problem is more than likely a relief valve in the system is stuck open or has a broken spring. Had not had time to tear my own tractor apart yet, but I'm sure it's going to be fun.

I found that it was necesary to put in a new hydraulic filter from time to time. Probably the old one could have been cleaned by boiling it in some cleaner, like maybe an ammonia mix, but ordinary cleaning in gasoline was not enough. KEH [Reply]  [No Email]
