Older Husqvarna Zero Turn Hydro Gear Seems Slow

• #one

I was mowing the backyard tonight and without any noticeable event, the left hand drive became sluggish suddenly. It wasn't completely inoperable, but I would requite the left side "full throttle", and had to just barely engage the right side if I wanted to go straight. Information technology seemed like I could turn and go in reverse for short distances without issue, but that could just be me overthinking.

I'm having trouble searching for troubleshooting info online. I'm hoping it's only low hydraulic fluid on one side, just then again it could be a valve or the pump itself. Has anyone else had similar issues? What exercise y'all recollect I could be?

C5 on the right. No idea just adept luck

C5 on the right. No idea simply good luck

What does C5 hateful?

• #5

That's precisely why i'd never buy a zero-turn...

anyway, is yours a commercial unit of measurement or residential?

I tinker with John Deere so let me know if yours is a JD...

• #half-dozen

Might exist a stripped gear/pulley

• #8

two (ok, probably 4) of them

• #9

If you observe out permit me know, my right side drive is sluggish.

Sluggish, like a moisture sponge.

• #10

Might exist a stripped gear/pulley

Stripped gear? Wtf

It'due south likely a bad integrated hydro... though if it's a Deere they employ separate Kanzaki pumps and wheel-motors (depending on how onetime / model ZT)

If it's a residential vs a commercial unit - drive components/parts are all but likely likely not servicable and will crave replacement as an unabridged module...

• #11

Might be a stripped gear/pulley

I would definitely check the spelunker pump too.

I was mowing the lawn tonight and without any noticeable event, the left manus bulldoze became sluggish all suddenly. It wasn't completely inoperable, but I would give the left side "total throttle", and had to but barely engage the correct side if I wanted to become straight. It seemed like I could turn and go in reverse for brusque distances without issue, but that could only be me overthinking.

I'm having trouble searching for troubleshooting info online. I'm hoping it's just low hydraulic fluid on one side, but so once more it could be a valve or the pump itself. Has anyone else had similar issues? What do yous call back I could be?

Kickoff thing to do, expect at the rod that you pull to disengage the hydraulic motors. Should exist i for each side. Make sure it didn't come out slightly on the weak side. Then, very elementary concept of operation. There is a single hydraulic tank that feeds both hydraulic motors (pumps) . Check fluid level first, then go to the weak side and cheque the filter. Each hydraulic pump has it's own filter. Replace information technology first. The next thing to look at is the pump. Each side has it'southward own pump. I'd recollect that the valve works would be robust plenty to non be an issue. I'd get with the detachment lever as your trouble. Post an update on what you observe.

Not interested in what you're reading correct now - just need to know the brand of your ZT

I was mowing the lawn this evening and without any noticeable event, the left hand drive became sluggish all suddenly. Information technology wasn't completely inoperable, only I would give the left side "full throttle", and had to just barely engage the right side if I wanted to go direct. It seemed like I could plough and go in reverse for curt distances without effect, simply that could just be me overthinking.

I'm having problem searching for troubleshooting info online. I'm hoping information technology's just depression hydraulic fluid on ane side, only so again it could exist a valve or the pump itself. Has anyone else had similar issues? What do you think I could exist?

Turn harder.

Get-go matter to do, look at the rod that yous pull to disengage the hydraulic motors. Should be one for each side. Make sure it didn't come out slightly on the weak side. And so, very simple concept of operation. There is a single hydraulic tank that feeds both hydraulic motors (pumps) . Check fluid level start, then go to the weak side and check the filter. Each hydraulic pump has it'south own filter. Supervene upon it showtime. The next affair to look at is the pump. Each side has it's own pump. I'd recall that the valve works would be robust enough to not be an effect. I'd go with the disengagement lever as your problem. Postal service an update on what you discover.

If it's as simple as a displaced freewheeling rod - Ranger should immediately go out and buy lottery tickets...

Equally far equally checking fluids on the hydros, chances are he has sealed units

• #17

I would definitely check the spelunker pump likewise.

From at present on if somebody is having trouble with their automobile I'm going to suggest they check this.

• #eighteen

I would definitely check the spelunker pump too.

Maybe that's why he's having issues. It's difficult to mow in a cave.

• #nineteen

If it'southward as simple every bit a displaced freewheeling rod - Ranger should immediately go out and buy lottery tickets...

As far as checking fluids on the hydros, chances are he has sealed units

Yes Massimo, they are sealed units. They are as well individual units that power each side. A seal can blow causing a leak merely that should affect both sides due to depression fluid levels. I had a similar problem and it was a gratis wheeling rod out partially. Pushed it in fully and information technology runs great. I should have brought a lottery ticket that nighttime but I was decorated cutting grass.

Yes Massimo, they are sealed units. They are also individual units that ability each side. A seal tin blow causing a leak but that should impact both sides due to low fluid levels. I had a like problem and it was a free wheeling rod out partially. Pushed it in fully and it runs nifty. I should take brought a lottery ticket that nighttime just I was busy cutting grass.

Stripped gear? Wtf

Information technology'south likely a bad integrated hydro... though if it's a Deere they use separate Kanzaki pumps and cycle-motors (depending on how old / model ZT)

If it'southward a residential vs a commercial unit - bulldoze components/parts are all merely likely likely not servicable and volition require replacement as an entire module...

The gear term is probably incorrect. Splined probably a better term. The spline on inner diameter of a pulley. This actually happened on my Deere lt180 (not a nothing turn) and could only become very slowly, and when the stripping got worse information technology would non motility at all.

• #26

If it will merely plow left, put some NASCAR stickers on information technology, advertise it in the Penny Saver , and sell it for twice the price.

• #28

You must have a small yard with no obstacles. I have an acre and a half with 107 trees, bushes shrubs, blossom beds to mow. Used to take 4 1/four hours. Now with a Skag Patriot I do it in one 3/4 hours, even with a sluggish right side drive motor.

Pretty sure i mow more than you... i own ane acre with 75' walnut trees, Hemlocks, Norway Bandbox, and mature ruby, apple tree, and peach trees, ... plus I mow a 3mi loop to maintain a tremendous walking trail in town-owned greenspace that my belongings backs to (pic below)... people walk barefoot on this trail... got 751hrs on my JD and prefer my horsepower betwen my legs as opposed to an engine tickling my ass

Looks like a 7-fe deck... whoa!

Looks like a seven-iron deck... whoa!

Yes sir.. top of the line. It takes a beating. I bought it in June of 2017 and I've put 700 hours on it and and so far no major issues except with the deck adjustments. Warrantied of course. I'yard happy with it.

• #33

Was looking to Trade my Scag Cheetah (30HP) with 450hrs on a JD 970R, but really cant justify it.

I'd stick with the 30hp.

Information technology wasn't completely inoperable, but I would give the left side "full throttle", and had to just barely engage the correct side if I wanted to go direct. It seemed like I could turn and go in reverse for short distances without upshot, but that could just exist me overthinking.

I'g having trouble searching for troubleshooting info online. I'm hoping information technology's just depression hydraulic fluid on i side, but and so over again it could be a valve or the pump itself. Has anyone else had similar issues? What do you call back I could be?

Either the pump or fluid. How old is your tractor? Pumps need replaced after so many years.

Pretty sure i mow more than yous... i own 1 acre with 75' walnut copse, Hemlocks, Norway Bandbox, and mature red, apple, and peach trees, ... plus I mow a 3mi loop to maintain a tremendous walking trail in town-owned greenspace that my holding backs to (pic below)... people walk barefoot on this trail... got 751hrs on my JD and adopt my horsepower betwen my legs as opposed to an engine tickling my ass

You can use whatever mower you want, just mowing that much and around copse without a zeroturn is like choosing to picket picture show tube TV wn there are flat screens available.

Tell me nearly the snowblower that Zeroturn will take?

• #37

Tell me well-nigh the snowblower that Zeroturn will take?

Well, I had a neighbor who worked as a mechanic for farm and backyard tractors. He got a grasshopper zero turn that someone traded in and did rig upwards a snowblower in place of the front deck. That said, y'all probable don't snowblow that walking path all winter, so the zero turn makes more than sense to me.

I'm a 5-fe from Lake Ontario... I'll accept my tractor any day of the week

• #39

Now the lath has lawn porn. What will nosotros recollect of next?

The primary thing I remember from my lawn mowing days was having to kick a loose connector to the spark plug on ane side every one time in a while. I soon constitute that if my shoe was the least bit wet, I'd become a nice shock doing that.

I'd have raking leaves or excavation a garden over mowing the lawn any day. At to the lowest degree the former 2 jobs were done in cooler weather.
