Having trouble with a 2940 starting. Acts like the starter is weak. Have also been told about the hydraulic pump not releasing pressure and loads the starter. So how do I determine whether it is the starter in fact, or the hydraulic system causing it? In the past it would start with the starter then later it got so if you didn't turn the steering wheel while starting it would not spin fast enough to start. Now he drag starts it. Going out on a limb here, I'm guessing the hydraulic system was the problem, and now the extra demand on the starter has caused the deterioration of the starter maybe. I just know with planting just around the corner, I would like to cure this problem.
